Can you imagine Vitali on a basketball court playing like Lebron James? Absolutely not. Look at the tale of the tape.

Lebron is actually bigger :rofl: but there's a huge gap in athleticism. I think Lebron would dispatch him.... handily. Of course considering Lebron had dedicated as many years to fighting as Vitali has. I know, this is beyond a fantasy match-up ... like a fantasy within a fantasy. Whatever... I'm bored :dead:
Speaking of LeBron being soft, Blake Griffin is another softie. That dude is another freak of nature, but when it comes to fighting not so much. He likes to pick on the smaller guys, and he got punked by Andre Miller.

on a world class level....
Elite soccer players have better footwork than the elite boxers.
Elite basketball players (pg's) have faster hands than the elite boxers.
Get over it.....when compared to other athletes from other sports, boxers aren't the best of the best in every athletic category.
I agree with the first one, even not so awesome soccer players have faster legs than most boxers, but I don't think that elite basketball players have faster hands than elite boxers, in this one I think it could be pretty even or boxers having faster hands.
It's just not the same because in soccer you have to do dribbling with the legs and for making fast feints and sprints with the ball you must have really fast legs. However in basketball there's no need for extremely fast hands since basketball-type dribbling consists more on using the entire body and changing the direction on the ball, not just moving the ball really fast.
There are 2 guys I'll just throw out there since we're on the subject of basketball players. someone mentioned Charles Oakley but don't forget about his NY Knick teammate Anthony Mason. Dude was always pissed off and had muscles on his muscles. I think dude's toes were ripped. He coulda done some damage in the ring. There was also Kendall Gill who actually had a few pro fights after his basketball days were over. Great athlete and probably coulda been a good heavyweight with that reach.

I'd bet on Ben Wallace to beat any NBA players with the exception of only, Nene Hilario. Charles Oakley may have been a badass back in the day, but i doubt he'd beat Ben Wallace.
What gives you the slightest indication that elite basketball players have faster hands than boxers?
The way they catch a basketball?
The way they take swipes at basketballs?
What?
Where is this crazy theory even coming from?
Explain this notion....
If this is your definition of a Point Guard, then I can tell you never hooped. I do I agree that boxers have faster hands, but come on.
Oh boy, we really have a smart one on our hands tonight.
Why would I doubt Roy smart guy?
I'm talking about your Iverson comment and the fact that you've been saying there's plenty of basketball players with faster hands than Roy Jones Jr.
Like I said, get a clue.

I think Derrick Rose is as equally fast as a prime Iverson was.
Carpe I love your posts and I was born and raised in the Chi. As far as D-Rose being as fast as AI, no just no.
That's like saying Cristiano Ronaldo, who has easily faster feet and legs than most guys in the world, could have good footwork in boxing. BTW Ronaldo is also a genetically gifted athlete, but that doesn't mean that just because he's fast he could do great things in boxing.
I think you misunderstood my comment. I simply stated the basketball players with the best chance to make it in the sport....relative to other basketball players.
Hell they could all be complete sh1t, however I like guys like Oakley and Iverson chances more than someone like lebron james.
I think Derrick Rose is as equally fast as a prime Iverson was.
I like Derrick Rose and he is fast as hell.
IMO A.I. was just a blur and I personally haven't seen anyone as quick as him. However, If you feel Rose is equally as fast, I can respect that opinion.
