if lebron chose boxin instead of basketball.....

[Siggy]

dumbest **** ive ever ****ing heard...just cause lebron is tall doesnt mean he can fight..people need to stop ****ing crying..size doesnt win fights...skill does

size doesnt win fights, but it can play a huge role in a fight, especially in the heavyweight division.

That's the case for all countries not just america. You get Lebron in the ring imagine what kind of russian or ukranian beast he'll have to face giving eastern europe the same terms.

qft. USA isn't the only country with other sports that are 'stealing' HW's

I think I remember an article or interview about Lebron that said he tried boxing when he was younger but didn't like getting hit.

Just because he's a physical phenom doesn't mean he would be a great boxer.

Maybe I'm making it up, but I'm pretty sure I read that or saw it on TV or something.

qft. not everyone is built to box. There goes TS Lebron theory.

No doubt that the NBA has really taken a lot of the talent from the heavyweight division. Not sure if Lebron would do well because it's not a given for people to dismiss him because the NBA is soft or has no heart is dumb. When you see a NBA brawl, sure it looks like **** but those guys aren't fighters, they are ballers. Don't you think if they were training in fighting at a young age instead of balling they would be completely different fighters? There is no doubt that the skills that a lot of high profile basketball players have would transfer over to boxing(size, speed, hand and eye cord., etc.).

And if 6'4 290 Russian Aleksandr Karelin had boxed?


instead of being 12X European Champion, 9X World Champion and 3X Olympic Gold medalist he would have been Undisputed HW Champion in boxing.

See how this works.

Karelin>Holmes, Tyson, Bowe, Lennox

Stop crying about ****

in america we don't develop our heavy weights #qc we so busy trying to decrown the klits. Most of the huys going into the fight only have about 25 fights max. Klit has over 40.

Lebron is a great b-ball player but he could never be a boxer. As big as Lebron is he whines and crys for fouls like the biggest ***** in the NBA. Lebron is way too SOFT to be a fighter.

& this

Good point about Karelin, that guy was a beast.

Who knows but I do know Mellow can throw a nice straight but I doubt he could take a punch lol..

wlad would be just another European fighter thats gets pwnd by an american, but since he has the luxury of being soooo big, he beats more skilled fighters with his height and size advantage alone..... wlad cannot beat his older brother, simply because hes not bigger than him.... lol at all the fools who actually think wlad had top notch SKILLS.... this is a myth, because being able to keep someone 6 inches shorter than u at bay with a jab is only hard for a ****** lmao... wlad is nowhere close to the skill level of anyone top 10 p4p in the paat 3 decades!

i must admit tho, he is in shape (like most fighters) -_-....
and he uses his height well (thats not a skill)
if eddie chambers was 6'6, he would have beat wlads ass!.... that is all

so, what you are basically saying is that if u were 6'6, lets go ahead and say 7' you could keep a professional boxer at bay? Areola? Frazier? Tyson? Holyfield? all these are shorter, you would still have your a$$ kicked

I'd like to see an untrained 7 feet guy trying to fight Frazier or Tyson, that would be funny

And that was little Oscar who was probably not going 100%, imagine what Frazier's or Tyson's power would do.

[bklynboy]

i dont know why people fail to see this, the only reason why the Klits are dominating is because they are always way bigger then their opponents, its like fatass person vs a grizzly bear

If they didn't have a great jab and had a great defense they would not be champs. Especially Wlad since he doesn't have a chin.

Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis are recent heavyweights who would have given them trouble, if not pushed them out of the fight game.

Frazier, Ali, Norton, Quarry, Shavers, Holmes all would have been excellent match-ups.

The Ks are excellent boxers -- we just don't know how good since they don't have ATG opposition.
