I started thinking about this when I had a discussion with my cousin about the lack of great heavyweight boxers. I argued that alot of guys that could make great boxers are playing other sports like basketball and football. Even though that's probably not true, It did make both of us think about other athletes that would make great boxers. Here is a list of guys I think if they grew up around the sport would make great pro-boxers
Allen Iverson 6-0 165-thats his walk around weight and he could easily drop to 147 or 140. He has ridiculously long arms and the quickest hands I have ever seen. He also has great footwork and stamina to go with his speed.
Chad Johnson 6-0 192- I could see him at middleweight and while he is very quick...the entertainment value from his press conferences alone would make him a star.
Charles Oakley 6-9 250-This dude was a beast in the NBA. Everyone was shook of his handskill (charles barkley said he would pop **** to everyone exept oakley). He was the Mike tyson of the NBA. He went around terrorizing other players around the league similar to the way suge knight bullies rappers in the music industry.
georges laraque HW 6-3 253 Hockey guy that loves to fight. He actually trains with boxers in the offseason.
donald brashear HW 6-2 220- the most feared guy in Hockey. Loves to fight and actually started off as a boxer until he realized how good he was at hockey.
Chad Johnson 6-0 192- I could see him at middleweight and while he is very quick...the entertainment value from his press conferences alone would make him a star.
no actually, Laraque is the most feared. Brashear even feared Laraque a couple of years ago. But he eventually got over that fear and they have fought a couple of times since then.
