Question from a reader:
I believe that Naoya Inoue and Junto Nakatani stand out from other boxers. Is there a difference in their talent that cannot be bridged by mere practice?
The Talent and Effort of Boxers
The question about the talent of Naoya Inoue and Junto Nakatani is very intriguing. They certainly set themselves apart from other fighters. I enjoy
boxing as well, and every time I watch their matches, I am amazed by their style and technique. I especially look forward to Naoya’s fights; his punches are powerful and fast. Just watching him fires me up.
Talent That Cannot Be Bridged by Practice Alone
However, I believe their strength goes beyond just practice. Of course, their training volume and effort are extraordinary, but they possess a special talent that is hard to replicate. While athleticism and reflexes are important, mental strength and decision-making during a match are also crucial factors. Boxing is a close-range combat sport, and often, a split-second decision can determine the outcome. When watching their fights, there are moments where it seems like they are competing on a different level. I remember when I was working part-time at a judicial scrivener’s office, one piece of advice from a senior colleague really stuck with me: “Law isn’t just about theory; practice is essential.” It’s true that having legal knowledge alone doesn’t translate into practical work. Much can be learned through real-world experience. I feel that both talent and effort are required in boxing as well.
Not Everyone Can Mimic Their Skills
Moreover, even if one tries to imitate the talent and training methods of fighters like Inoue and Nakatani, it’s not easily achievable. While you can learn by observing their training, reaching their level is quite difficult. I believe this applies across all fields. For example, Shohei Ohtani and Ichiro in the baseball world have built their current status because of their exceptional talent and effort. As for myself, while studying to become a judicial scrivener, I constantly feel my own limitations. I often think, “I still have a long way to go,” especially when comparing myself to others. But perhaps it is this feeling that drives growth. The legal world is deep and complex, and I find new discoveries every day, realizing the importance of continuous learning.
