    No too fragile for the 160 or 154 division right now. Strong divison plus a history of injuries. I can't see it. He's tough minded though so he might actually have the guts for boxing. It's a tough ****ing sport.

      Allen Iverson would dominate at 140-147.

      He is fast, strong, has tremendous stamina and is very tough. He was "Mr. Football" in ******ia and chose to go play hoop. Tremendous hand-eye coordination.

      Athletically, he doesn't have a weakness.

          I am not sure if he can make 147 though. He walsk at 160 and I can't see him skinnier. Well I actually can but 147 is full of big monsters if he can somehow get down to 140 then I see it.

            I'm not talking about how good he is at baseball. I'm talking about his athletic ability, and hand eye coordination. When a guy can do anything on a baseball field, he's a great athlete. I made the analogy to Mayweather playing baseball because you're basing his lack of power hitting on how he would do in a boxing ring.

            Lee from the Cubs is like 6'5 and can hit the deep ball, but I saw him swing at a guy, and I've seen seven year old girls throw better punches.

              I was thinking Iverson for Welter. Not 160.

              AI can make 147. The man is in excellent condition. Sure, some injuries here and there, but please. That would not disqualify him IMO.

                im saying.. how does a lack of power in baseball translate into good punching power?

                  Iverson would almost be like a Paul Williams. I've seen the guy in person and the first thing I noticed was his arm length actually. The guy has monkey arms.

                    you haven';t seen Ichiro throwing out runners, have you? If he hits somebody with a right hand like that it's probable to cause some dammage. Ichiro's got power.

                      Javier Nadal. The guy's got an amazing side to side movement.
