What if guys like Lebron James, Dwight Howard, and Kevin Garnett hit the boxing gym..

[Liar]

NFL players are much stronger, faster than rugby players

Yes because wrestler have great footwork, are very agile big men, are fster than middleweights, and have lighting quick hands and reflexes. .

Wrestlers require muscle strength. He would tire quicker, I beat most big NFL and NBA players would have their way with him, sexually as well

I don't know about Howard and Garnett, but Lebron would be a ***** boxer. Watch when he gets whacked in the head everyone once in a while driving to the basket, he acts like someone shot him.

Too bad there's no money in boxing. What did Tyson make in his career? Only about 400 million?

There is no way of telling if any of those guys have what it takes to be a boxer without putting them in a ring. Someone like Kevin Willis though (7 ft, 240 lb with a black belt in karate) might've been decent.

That is an opinion. One fact though is that last year a semi pro American Football team played with an amature Rugby League team (both teams American) in a half and half challenge (see below). The first half was played under American Football rules and the second half under Rugby League rules. Overall the Rugby League team won, they were able to score a TD in the American Football half and kept the gridiron players scoreless in the Rugby League half.

I have no doubt in my mind that there are many Rugby players that are stronger and or faster than many American Football players. Case in point the many times Worlds Strongest Man Mariusz Pudzianowski also played Rugby Union before switching to MMA. However it would be very rare to see a professional rugby player carring as much fat/excess baggage as some of the guys in American Football.


The Axemen (Rugby League) dressed in American Football gear


The Axemen (rugby league) defensive line


Most 2nd half tackles seen the Knights (American Football) players on their backs to allow the Axemen (Rugby League) lots of time


I can see many more rugby (especially rugby league) players switching to boxing. The rugby salary cap, cross sport training and the growing exposure of boxing in Australia/Pacific Islands will only increase this.

It really depends on how good their chins are.

I think it is fair to say that you know very little about football.

Instead of the basketball courts at a young age, and were groomed to be boxers from a young age. How would the heavyweight division look.

they would have a bunch of schoolgirl-like fans cheering for them. And posting how amazing they were in here.

[Banderivets]

Actually, Manu Ginobili is apparently not a bad boxer. The spurs team had a session in a boxing gym once, I guess it was pre season or soemthing, and Manu was the "best" of them all, and apparently had a natural ability, best of the whole team.

Thtat was on TV.

Keep in mind, this is NBA TV, wtf do they know about boxing...but still

[markkerr101]

just because you can play basketball doesnt mean you can punch. they would get murdered im sorry. even with training. pro boxers have been doing it most of their lifes


do you think klitchko would win one on one in basketball? no, so whats the difference u act like fighting is easy to learn
