great athletes are great athletes.
you can't just switch sports however you want and expect to be good at it, but if you're a great athlete the tools were there for you to excel at other sports too if you picked it as a youth.

You guys are forgetting the rigorous 8-10week training camp the players go through. Also playing 18 weeks, with 1-2 off weeks in a season. Use common sense. The top boxers are only fighting twice a year and training camp last no longer than 8 weeks. Most of those guys are not in the best of shape before camp. Also training for 2 different sports. Since guys are discrediting NFL players. Lets take Ward for instance, lets say he wanted to have an NFL tryout. Him being Athlete, i bet his transition would suck. All the boxing condition and knowledge would do nothing for him. I can't even see ward playing special teams. What most of you guys are missing is that these guys are running full speed @ the start of the play.

Bench press doesn't mean punching power at all. Frazier couldn't lift weights

Just as they would need to change their training techniques to be successul at boxing, a boxer would need to change their training techniques to have any chance to do a football player's job. It does take a great deal o oxygen to push a 300 pound guys back while he is trying his all run through you.

People just think that with a bigger pool of athletic big guys, chances are higher you can strike gold. That's all. Boxing still gets amazing athletes at the smaller weight classes but people are just sick of the K Bros. people just hate on them so they use that as an excuse. Personally I think nba players are probably better suited for boxing than football players but thats just me.
