Originally posted by CrackYourJaw View PostI 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.
Originally posted by Check View PostNo 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.).
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.

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.

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

Originally posted by skullduggery View Postwlad 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

Originally posted by RockyB View Postso, 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

Originally posted by camaney View Posti 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
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.
