Zion Williamson would be the goat heavyweight

Lebron was never 270 I don't buy it. Zion is physically stronger and more explosive than Lebron James Wrong. The fact that LeBron lies about his weight is well known https://www.espn.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/70095/the-incredible-shrinking-lebron https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2821015-windhorst-word-on-the-street-says-lebron-james-is-playing-at-280-pounds https://waitingfornextyear.com/2008/12/this-lebron-guy-is-pretty-big/

I think Yao Ming would be the best heavyweight, how you gonna hit a chin that's 7'6" in the air? He's way to slow

Mike Tyson and Roy Jones had those leaping left hooks... just imagine a 280 lbs. athletic freak with frog legs exploding a hook or uppercut into your chin. That's it man, game over. Yes exactly. Look at Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua. They were athletes that converted late and look how well they did in the Heavyweight division.

Dude, Zion's injury prone, tends to gain weight and be lazy Plus, we don't know whether he likes to be hit or not or likes hitting other people. He may not be mean enough. And I'll take a prime LeBron as a better "physical specimen" than Zion. He was 6'8" 250 as a young player and got up to 270 without becoming a fat ass or becoming injury prone until he got old. Lebron was never 270 I don't buy it. Zion is physically stronger and more explosive than Lebron James

He's not a random athlete. He's the best athlete in history. If he was training since he was 10. He'd be used to Dude, Zion's injury prone, tends to gain weight and be lazy Plus, we don't know whether he likes to be hit or not or likes hitting other people. He may not be mean enough. And I'll take a prime LeBron as a better "physical specimen" than Zion. He was never 275.. I doubt he was ever above 250 He was 6'8" 250 as a young player and got up to 270 without becoming a fat ass or becoming injury prone until he got old.

Prime Shaq would've been the GOAT heavyweight. Nah. Shaq was destroyed by a retired Shane Mosley and a coke sniffing Oscar.

Dirk Nowitzki would have been goat heavyweight

The sports science people make a link between jump height and punch power so there could be something in this but I'm wary of the "super athlete" theory when it comes to boxing. Eubank Jr for example is a phenomenal athlete but he'll never win a title. There was also a heavyweight called Michael Grant in the 90's.

Hell no. His frame is not meant for boxing. A guy like Giannis would have a better shot. You can’t genetically discriminate with boxing like you can with basketball though. Look at the current HW champion, does Tyson Fury look like a supreme athlete? Disagree with you about Giannis. He doesn't have that kind of snap that Zion has. Not the same fast twitch, explosive muscles.

Prime Shaq would've been the GOAT heavyweight. I think Shaq is too slow. He would be successful but I could see him getting outworked

Probably stronger, but Lebron is 6’8 & was 275 for a bit around the end of Cavs into Heat days. He was never 275.. I doubt he was ever above 250

The chin is the only thing but he has a long neck and strong legs so I have reason to suspect. Zion is a better athlete than Lebron. Bigger, stronge, more explosive. Probably stronger, but Lebron is 6’8 & was 275 for a bit around the end of Cavs into Heat days.

What does Zion’s vertical have to do with anything boxing related? yes he’s an amazing athlete, but like Mike mentioned, have you seen him take a punch? im not a Lebron fan, but he’s like to have a word with you on best athlete The chin is the only thing but he has a long neck and strong legs so I have reason to suspect. Zion is a better athlete than Lebron. Bigger, stronger, more explosive.

Ya I'm sure you think some random soccer player is a better athlete but yes no one comes close. Zion Williamson is the most explosive person ever and at 6'6 280 with a 45 inch vertical leap and terrific coordination he is the clear best athlete in the world. I'm assuming you're from the UK cause this is the only excuse for not thinking this What does Zion’s vertical have to do with anything boxing related? yes he’s an amazing athlete, but like Mike mentioned, have you seen him take a punch? im not a Lebron fan, but he’s like to have a word with you on best athlete

I saw Zion Williamson play in HS at a Christmas BBall Tournament in 2015. Sat two rows behind him in the stands watching a girls semifinal game. Seems like a cool dude, and he's finally gotten in-shape and is doing very well this season...... I can tell just by looking at him that he can punch hard Dude is a freak of nature
