Some of the names mentioned already are great athletes but boxing is something different: "You can't try boxing; boxing is not a game like baseball, basketball or tennis. You have to have your mind made up to do whatever its going to take to be good." ~Tommy Hearns.

Isreal is a beast, he's only about 20 isnt he?
Sonny Bill, dunno about a boxer, but overrated as a rugby player.

Jonu Lomu...........

yeah I said him, you couldnt even run away from him. too big, too fast.
But thinking about it, going by his passing in rugby he doesnt have great hands!

Oh yeah, Rafa Nadal. Number 1 Tennis player in the world. You laugh, but check the guy out. Perfect mentality for fighting, highly tough and very athletic.

Except his left bicep is about 30% bigger than his right. All you'd have to do is stay away from his left, lol.
