Which athlete would be the best boxer?

[drvooh]

I would have to say Shaq. In his prime he was pretty quick and strong as an OX, valuev would face shaq and people would call it "the 600 pound brawl" or something as lame as that. Which athlete would make be the best boxer.

That's easy....Swimmers and gymnasts...but they have no interests in it...perhaps a master of martial arts

so you telling me just because ichiro is an awesomne baseball player that mean he would be a good boxer?? that makes no sense.. he dosent have a boxers body... what do u see in him?... and floyd bein a baseball player has nothing to do with this thread

Doesnt have a boxers body?? WTF is that?

Do you mean like Tysons body, or would it be like Paul Williams or a Corrales body.

There are lots of sports that demand some of the same skills as boxing - Football (association) needs very good stamina and excellent football (I can imagine PBF being an excellent footballer as well). Wayne Rooney v John Duddy at 160, I'd take Rooney to KO him with 6 months boxing training...

Michael Owen was a sporting genius. His coordination as a youngster was out of this world - He could make century breaks in snooker, and his first ever round of golf he went 5 over (supposedly). I'd wager that he could have been a very good feather/superfeather.

I guess rugby players could do a decent job as well - aka mundine. Tua is only one huge pacific islanders, their rugby teams field 15 every game.

The obvious choice for me is TO.... word is Shuan Alexander has fast hands.... and Julius Peppers has punched some pretty big wholes before\!

You gotta go with dudes that play pro ball, and can "Take-a-hit". Lots of gymnist, swimmers, runners, etc., are in great shape and have crazy stamina, but its another thing when you are involved in a physical contact sport. I'd go with MoneyINC..."T.O." can take a hit. A baseball player, or swimmer will probably faint at the sight of blood.
