Would olympic sprinters naturally be explosive boxers ?

Since they have super speed does that mean they would be explosive fighters in the ring ?

[MikeyMike100]

Probably. Many NBA players would also be great boxers with explosive power

[Smash]

Takes more than just speed. Theirs a reason why those 300mph drag race cars ARENT used on a curvy course.

Besides speed what else would they need strength?

[tritium_arma]

I would think so. It depends on the sprinter though, the ones that have the best acceleration or reach their top speeds the quickest would have the best chance IMO.

They most likely would be.

I think they already have enough strength. The main things would be skills, conditioning and temperament to fight. Not sure if you meant athletic abilities only.

Agility, athleticism, timing & intelligence

they usually have small heads tho. they are built like cheetahs for speed. Amir Khan and Roy Jones were built for speed. small heads. both have glass jaws.


boxers usually have robust skulls due to the chin being the most important trait.
