Pavlik, Margarito, Vic Darchynian
Pavlik was my first thought. And as NAC said, Rios is a good call as well. Angulo is a lot like Rios in the athletic department. Having a chin and power.

Mayorga.
I don't know about that. At his best he had excellent conditioning, very good power, and he wasn't exactly slow, either.
Arguello
He was actually relatively slow just in general. He had real good timing to make it for it thoughHe lacked hand speed. How is that unathletic? Maybe Lebron James lackes handspeed too.
Thanks bro, I would've worded it differently but you're quite the wordsmith.A dumbass, that you're apparently ignoring, just quoted you and wants someone to let you know that Mayorga is a very good contribution.

your saying timing and accuracy are athletic traits? I dont really agree.Aren't timing and accuracy valuable athletic traits in boxing? Probably more important than speed.

Its more training and technique than anything really that help you develop those two traits.
Arguello was always extremely slow, not really explosive or athletic. But he had good power, and amazing timing. Good footwork for a puncher too.
Thats what made him great. He did have some problems with guys who boxed with him though
Maybe if we're talking about the 2017 version. Prime RJJ is one of the most athletic guys ever seen in a boxing ring.
On a side note, GGG isn't the quickest guy around, but his chin, stamina and power make him an impressive athlete in my book.
Is chin an athletic feature? I don't know. I guess we could define athletic feature as any non-learned positive attribute?
I usually think of athletic though as would have a chance to be good in other sports. Transferable athletic attributes.
A good chin / the ability to absorb punishment is absolutely NOT an athletic feature ...lol.
Chin testing in the olympics? I'd watch that.
Also stamina ...this is more like a foundation that you'd expect from a professional competitor.
At least I do...I'd expect Usain Bolt to show up without a fat belly for a 200m race.
