Is Wilder proof that NBA players would do well in Boxing?

[sentax]

Wilder is built exactly like a basketball player (he was one) 6'7", 215-220 lbs in peak shape, long limbs, athletic, fast twitch muscle. Yeah most NBA players can't fight for crap but if they started training boxing as kids/teens?

Maybe that's an untapped group to go after at least in the US as most ballers will never turn pro.

Nate Robinson is the reason boxing fans have to suffer Jake Paul

He’s 6’7” and I’m not sure Wilder even played DI college basketball. Hardly an NBA body. I doubt at 19 he looked like he looks now. Everyone knows I love Wilder the boxer so I can’t be called a hater. But dudes 6’7” and can’t hit a jump shot for sht.

I wouldn’t go so far as to call it proof, but it’s at least some quality evidence that basketball type physiques would make for good knockout artists (maybe not necessarily good pure boxers).

Lmao you gotta be kidding me. Wilder is trash and got by cause he has power. I can't get into basketball, seeing a bunch of 7 footers flop like fish acting like they're hurt. Worse than soccer flops

Jake Paul has been training in boxing for about 5 years. Nate Robinson is a basketball player that thought he could be on pure athleticism.

Basically, you didn't answer the question.

Kobe use to train at the Wildcard gym in the offseason. Freddie Roach once said if he started young he had the skill and footwork to be a world class boxer.

And is canelo proof that people who play golf can do well in boxing?

[TMLT87]

Tall athletic people can do well in boxing......if they can box.
