He can learn.

Which division would Carl Lewis be in?

- - Women's division from what I've heard lately.

Dale Hunter Washington Capitals. He could fight well on Ice skates, so I’d imagine he’d be pretty good in boxing shoes. Lol

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.

Naw, the one time Jordan tried to fight, he was slapping like the little girls who make his Nike shoes.....

In kind of a reverse of the thread: Vince Lombardi thought Muhammed Ali would have made the perfect NFL tight end.

There's been more than a few NHL enforcers who would probably have made decent a ring career for themselves.

They have to learn how to box first and that takes years to become proficient.

I had heard that Bob Probert had been working at Kronk a bit, but that was a long time ago.

I've heard of several NHL players training in boxing g to be more efficient at their jobs. I I personally don't see how it translates, though it can never hurt. Typical hockey fight....paw with the left, paw with the left, keep circling, paw with the left grab with the left and keep throwing rights and right uppercuts.

Most of them are in or were in the NFL but imma name other athletes as well. Francis Ngannou definitely could’ve been a heavyweight champion he sparred with Joe Joyce and Joe Joyce said he hits harder than most heavyweights. Connor Mcgreggor good reach and power.Jone Jones excellent reach could’ve been a heavyweight or crusierweight champion.Gronkski could’ve been a good heavyweight boxer, as well as Marshawyn Lynch who got extreme strength for his size. Derrick Henry could be a good heavyweight boxer alongside Ray Lewis,Aaron Donald,Lawrence Taylor,T.O., Chad Johnson ( crusierweight) and for basketball MJ,Lebron,Dwight,Shaq,Magic,Westbrook,Patrick Beverly,Rodman,Malone,Draymond.

Didn't Logan Paul make The Gronkowski brothers look foolish? Athleticism does not always translate into being a successful fighter.
