All this bs talk about the best athletes are in basketball and football and so explosive that if they started in boxing it would carry over. Nate is the one of the most explosive basketball players in recent times being 5 9 and being able to dunk so easily. Yet he got koed by some bum youtuber. You can't reach ring iq no matter how explosive you are.
I agree with the OP. Boxing requires a different kind of mentality so all this talk of NBA and Nfl guys being successful in the ring is bullsht.
I dont care if a dude is 6’6, 250lbs full of muscle. Is he willing to take punches for a living? Does he have a fighting heart?
Size dont mean sht and Boxers are different breeds.

His strategy and corner are all wrong. He has good skills like cutting the ring and speed but those attributes have to be used right. He has great potential but needs the right training
You need to learn the skills for any sport instead of relying on athleticism.
Yes some hall-of-famers are naturally inclined to be good at a sport, but you have to sharpen talent with training and dedication.
Nate Robinson had such poor defense which made it seem like he didn't train the technical aspects of boxing and was planning to rely solely on his athleticism to win.
Nate is 36 and tried boxing for the first time against a 23 year old who was also trying boxing but for a bit longer.
That is not even the same argument. The argument is that athletic 10-18 year olds gravitate to football and basketball because there are more money in the pros and there are college scholarships. Plus school teams.
Hey man don't you go making sense now
Takes more than athleticism to win a fight, but you yanks are obsessed with stats.. you discount anyone who can’t meet the track and strength standards set out by the combines.
Just let Merkkans have their superiority complex. Yes yes all Americans are the best but luckily for the rest of the world they chose to do other sports or no foreigners would have a sniff at winning anything ever.

basket ball players cant fight
Some can.
Look up James Johnson, who is 20-0 in kickboxing and like 7-0 in MMA fights.
He'd fxck Jake Paul up
