Most Athletic Pre- 1940´s Boxers

Kid Chocolate strikes me as an exceptionally athletic boxer from that era. Amongst his athletic traits were his fleetness of foot, build, reflexes, conditioning, and agility. He was an athlete that given todays training mechanisms would be dominant in his weight class today.

Who else?

Just took a look at the footage of him on youtube and you are right, he is a very athletic boxer for that era-- maybe moreso than Chocolate. I like his counterpunching especially.
