Love the mailbag — always appreciate how you break things down beyond surface-level takes. I’ve got a question about the word “talent”. When people say a fighter is “more talented”, what does that actually mean in your eyes? Are they referring mainly to physical gifts like speed, reflexes, and power — or does it also include things like natural instincts, rhythm, timing, and ring IQ?Some guys seem “gifted” physically but limited mentally; others don’t look flashy but seem to have every intangible working in their favor. How do you define talent when evaluating? Can you give some examples of both? Also, right now who do you think is the most fundamentally sound boxer in the world — not necessarily the most talented, but the most technically complete from stance, balance, and punch selection perspectives? Who’s the most “talented”?
