Which athletes from other sports do you see making a good boxer

Bar the chin dynamics, i think most great basketball players. The interplay of footwork and hand-eye co-ordination will translate nicely imo.

Teddy atlas claims on his life that basketball players make the best boxers...I dunno

Gymnasts are no joke. Probably the strongest athletes P4P. They have coordination, power, flexibility, reflexes, etc. Soccer players are some of the best conditioned athletes of any sport. Some football or basketball players could probably cross over. Maybe Lebron? AJ Green as a 6'4" cruiserweight? Agree with your post, Gymnasts are beasts. football playrs (soccer) gets a bad rep because they act like they're hurt but in reality thats just a way of getting favourable decisions (wrongly so, but if you can't beat em you may aswell join em) they have great conditioning.

I wonder if competitive climbers would be good. They arguably have the best p4p strength and core alongside gymnasts. And the competitive climbers can be quite explosive. Climbers have insane strength and conditioning, I can imagine them having transferable physical abilities in boxing

I'd say LeBron & Sanu for sure..

Futbol/Soccer has taken the best potential boxers than any other sport. Ibrahimovic could've been a monster!
