“I don’t believe in talent” _ the most talented boxer in history.

[@milanesa5761]

I agree, but here you can see that Tyson trained hard his whole life

[@JaguarBST]

@@milanesa5761 Yes he did. But now that I think about this quote more, I think he meant natural talent. Sort of the talent you were born with and not the combination of naturally gifted body and relentless training and hard work. In that sense he is right, he wasn’t born with the talent to automatically become the great boxer he became, he trained his whole life for it too. But to say he had no talent and it is all training is something I would disagree on.

[@razeenrajaful]

In that regard, everyone has talent, for example Muhammad Ali was exceptional at gauging distance, the "talent" Mike had was that he got into a lot of fights and was very phyiscal at a very young age, creating his incredibly chisled body that we now know of, but in the end you can't really call that talent, there are plenty of heavyweights that are stronger than him that would easily lose because of his skill which he aquired. There are some people that have more "talent" than others, but in the end all that means is that he won't need to train whatever his specific talent is as much. My point is that you can't say he was the most talented boxer in history, he's not even close, but if you say he's the best at boxing in history, well that can be debated.

@@razeenrajaful umm I can’t say that? No buddy, I can and I just did.
