What NFL Player do you think if properly trained could be a great Heavyweight???

Yes but they need to go through mounts and mounts of amateur training. You can't suddenly except those NFL players to be good boxers overnight. Matter fact there hasn't been any NFL player (or NBA, NHL) who switched to boxing and suddenly become successful, and there is a reason for that.

Ofcourse I understand that.

Thats what Im asking what current NFL Playewr do you think couldve made a good heavyweight basically.

Its no secret tht the great heavyweights play football and basketball...which is why the HW division is so ****ty.

so football and basketball didn't exist in the 60's or 70's?

and there arn't that many guys who play football and basketball professionally because there's only 2 pro football leagues and no minor league system.

basketball teams have no minor system and they have small rosters.

In the 60's and 70's boxers like Ali..Frazier...Foreman...they were big stars who made HUGE money.

In 2008 NFL and NBA.....there 60-130 million dollar contracts on the line.

Terrel Owens is athletic but he's too much of a crybaby and dramaqueen to ever be a really good boxer, I wouldn't even want a guy like that on my football team if I was running one.

There is more money in basketball and football then boxing.

Owens doesn't have the mental strength to be a top boxer, my vote is Julius Peppers.
