NBA basketball players who you think would make good boxers

[bobweaver]

i feel that a lot of nba basketball players have good builds for boxing. Tall/lean muscle mass. Here are some off the top of my head.

Just going by builds, these guys seem to have a good build for boxing, and have athletisism. Not saying they would actually be any good at boxing, just saying they look how you would want to be built for boxing.

Definately not Carmello Anthony!

Maybe Ron Artest, we've seen his overhand right.

Did you see Ron Artest fight like a girl with some fat beer-guzzling Pistons fans?

Apart from the fact that he punked out of a potential fight with Ben Wallace but then went after the fans, he showed a complete inability to fight.

Your average Joe would beat him.

Fighting is an art all its own, just b/c guys are big and muscular doesn't mean they can fight.


Who can fight? I bet Kobe could.

he should probably concentrate on winning basketball before he considers boxing though.

You broke my heart with that comment bro well...at least we got rid of that ol' bag of O'Neil, and the Matrix is looking pretty good for us, maybe next year we will matter again if we score a good 1st round pick

haha nah man, around 2001 he got into a tussle with Chris Childs of the Knicks and looked laughable, the much smaller Childs was the one ready to fight

Anthony Mason - talk about being built. He had a great run in his career and although he couldve KO'ed a few HWs had he been a pro boxer.

Rasheed Wallace - he's actually a pro masquerading as an NBA star

Amare Stoudemire - he's quick for his size, very slick, and with nice broad but clipped shoulders he'll be a perfect slugger and defender.

John Starks - Ive seen a video of him shadow boxing after a shot he seemed to have a natural talent
