I see a lot of threads saying "the heavyweight division would be good, if Kobe Bryant was a boxer" or "I bet Tiger Woods could beat Vitali if he trained as a boxer" or "David Beckham could beat Haye if he was a boxer"
Well, just a little FYI, being a good athlete doesn't always translate to being a good boxer, AND VICE-VERSA.
Do you think Tyson would have been good in the NBA?
Take a look at Audley harrison to see, that all the tools sometimes, do not combine.
So i think the argument that the heavyweight division "sucks" because all the good athletes are playing other sports doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
The problems in the division, and the sport are a lot more deep rooted.
