William Afflis – 290 IIb NFL lineman, and professional wrestler of the 50s/60s. Made a bit of a name of a name for himself by claiming he could beat any pro boxer in a street fight. Going as far as calling boxers “frauds” because they wore gloves and protectors. Brave words, until he happened to run in to Sonny Liston in the Thunderbird Casino, Vegas.

The story being that Liston followed him out, and then beat the living daylights out of him in the street. Then continuously slapped him until he apologised for his comments. Afflis tearfully apologised for everything he said, and announced to the watching crowd “I really just want to go back to Wisconsin now”.

As funny as that is, I believe NFL and NBA players are superior athletes then any kind of fighter. With some kind of training they could hold there own, not saying the would beat up a professional fighter though. It takes a certain natural ability to fight, more of an instinct then anything.
