      Alberto Juantorena looked like a perfect light-heavyweight / cruiserweight to me.

        Good pick. He's 3-1 in boxing so far and set to fight Jake Paul in a few weeks.

              I'll say Michael Jordan only because that dude's will to win was amazing. I don't think you can watch basketball and get any real idea of how a dude fights but MJ's drive makes me think he could have done well in any sport he was driven to do well in. People give him **** for his baseball but if you compare him to others at his experience he was exceptional in that sport too.

              That's it for me. I got three Kickboxers and the BBall GOAT.

              Oh, Semmy too.

                - - Jordan put in the B league where a host of minor lifers serve serve. In my baseball book I compare him to a friend of mine and approx contemporary Matt Miller who posted excellent traditional numbers and never got a big league look.

                Deion Sanders and Bo Jackson fellow NFL contemporaries all post much higher # than Jordan with Bo smoking Deion who couldn't match Bo Power stats.

                Jordan spent a lifetime and million$ trying to perfect his golf game, and at the time of my book, top three Celebrity tour athletes were #1 MLB pitcher Rick Rhoden, #2 NFL punter Craig Hentrich, with Big Mac McGwire #3 and Jordan #35. Penny Hardaway the first BB player was #22.

                Jordan prima donna the opposing players would part the Red Sea so he could have a clear path to the basket where a single pinky might draw the 3 point foul shot. Wilt coulda grabbed him up wif one hand and dribbled a basketball down court faster than the opposition and slam dunked his noggin that brings down the whole backboard...yer welcome.

                  Deion and Bo are both great names to add.

                    I sure hope so. The Paul brothers come off as smug little bastards that need to be knocked down a peg. Kind of funny they have one of them facing Roman Reigns for the world title. You know some fans are gonna be rooting for him to get superman punched, speared and knocked out lol. Just like when The Miz turned on Logan at Wrestlemania this year and when he took a stunner from Kevin Owens last year.

                      Herchel Walker. Incredible athlete, 1992 bobsled Olympian, NFL running back, 5th degree Tae Kwon do black belt and 2-0 professional MMA fighter. Walker is a physical specimen with the right mentality.
