how would lebron james do in boxing?

Why don't you ask Joshua Clottey or Andre Berto if you're talking about physic. Forget athleticism. It's like asking what if Muhammad Ali played basketball or what if Michael Jordan played football or what if Manny Pacquiao joined American idol... It's simple. Lebron James was not made to be a boxer. Vitali Klitscko would knock him out. Hahahaha lol green k

I question his toughness, but if someone that big and athletic had grown up boxing, he'd be dangerous. Only question would be his chin.

He'd probably have good leg movement and would dance around the ring throwing ineffective jabs until his opponent traps him in a corner and destroys him.

Nah, lacks the heart but then again some fighters got away with it.

He not as good looking as wlad, hes not as Athletic as Wlad but at the end of the day he would get Koed way before he gets a chance to fight wlad. Terrible thread.

Rajon Rondo - Freakishly huge hands, smart, good vision, tactician Shaquille O'Neal - Freak of nature like Brock Lesnar Carlos Boozer - Kelly Pavlik and him were switched as babies

I think OP picked the wrong athlete. If you put Adrian Peterson or Allen Iverson in the boxing ring since birth, then you'd have some guaranteed world champs. Iverson's reach would be Godly for his weight class.

I don't think lbj could jump into boxing and be successful but saying an athlete can't make it in boxing because Mitchell couldn't is absurd. Look at Bryant Jennings, this is literally your average joe at golds gym, this dude went from average Joe to undefeated hw boxer. Literally from playing sports at a recreation center at age 24, to 13-4 amateur, to undefeated pro boxer 5 years after stepping into a ring the first time in his life, you can't make this stuff up. Great example. I could see Lebron being able to do it starting a child but who knows. I like your example though and it reminds me of why I dont even like to use the athlete comparison because, even amongst elite athletes, there are probably only a select few within that group who could make it. About the same percentage as the population of average joe's out there who might have the right mentality for a fighter. for example, i'd take your coach popovich over some of the players in the league

Seth mitchell people. Nothing more I don't think lbj could jump into boxing and be successful but saying an athlete can't make it in boxing because Mitchell couldn't is absurd.

Is this a joke? Not only is James glass chinned he's got a glass body too

Seth mitchell people. Nothing more i have a hard tim believing that he would end up like that if brought up as a boxer from a kid..and then ending up with the size he eventually had. the comparison between seth mitchell and lebron wouldn't even come into ur head because he would have always been a boxer and never a bball player.

Seth mitchell people. Nothing more

can you imagine? Yes, I can totally imagine it. Too easy! https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRTrUPx4gzpmlNt4GNnDdSEonLLQnvI5QjrGTCKX104B4UL2DAo

well, he seems like one of those guys that can pick up anything real quick. Described as coachable and is obviously a hard worker so that's a good start. However, the knock on him has always been the lack of killer instinct you'd expect out of the top dog. its debatable now because he continues to improve building him up from a kid to be in an individual sport rather than a team player, then maybe the meanness could be developed by good coaches. i would have liked his chances tbh.

Seth mitchell. Dude has no heart,no mean streak,starting to late=average skills Average stamina and he has nothing clutch about him. Sorry just a good athlete. Not a fighter He plays basketball with his buddies, You dont play boxing.

I don't think he has the mentality for combat sports. LMFAO. that ****s hilarious XD. too bad it didnt apply for sergio martinez (soccer)

If, big if, he has a chin, he's the GOAT HW. just like brock lesnar he sure is a UFC goat right ...size means nothing in a chess match

If, big if, he has a chin, he's the GOAT HW. Yep, I figured you were a Lebron nut hugger when I schooled you on how MJ's better.
