For pure athleticism I gotta go with Roy Jones

 

[jackswstd]

Roy in his prime was ungodly. Power, speed, agility and unhitable

 

[Master Teacher]

Roy Jones by far, anderson silva tried to emulate but wasn't close

jon jones isn't that athletic just because he's the new GOAT in mma doesn't change that

i would've gave it to Ali just for the fact he moved like a middleweight as a heavyweight

but roy jones was a physical specimen we might not ever see again

You will never see anyone do what Roy Jones did in a professional boxing ring.

I didn't grow up on boxing and my knowledge is limited, and there's so many gifs and clips of Roy Jones that have left my jaw on the floor. When even a casual fan can instantly recognize greatness, you're doing something right.

Athlete?

I would normally say Jones but I'm going to say Tyson

His low, explosive style is hard af to successfully imitate, on top of his hand speed for his weight/mass, his foot speed (switched from orthodox to southpaw sometimes), is leg strength, and the fact he was KO'ing and dominating cats while being undersized

Roy Jones Jr. Da Gawd

Roy Jones in his prime was like a fukking cat.
