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

Just because someone is a good athlete doesn't mean he would succeed in any sport he chooses.

This is true, but it does help a great deal.

Same thing goes for all the huge athletic guys in other sports in every other country. Maybe after our discussion we can watch a unicorn *** a leprechaun, oh wait, that's an imaginary scenario too.

Dude, this is a what if scenario. Same as what if Tyson and Ali ever fought. And I'm sure you've had that discussion with someone. So relax and join in with your opinion.

No it's not the same. Tyson and Ali were actual boxers who were great.

Me saying "oh Ali would have been destroyed had Attila the Hun boxed and lived 1500 years later" is ******ed.

Taking ppl from other sports (which can be done with any other country and their athletes in diff sports) is a pitiful excuse used by some Americans, even ppl like Teddy Atlas and boxing writers cuz their so bitter.

Don't you think it's just as likely that Lebron would be a glass jawed bum that Wlad or Vitali would knock out in a round or two? You can't say if "insert tall athletic sportsman from random sport here" was a boxer, they would be good. Who knows?

This is true, but you never know. He could have a glass jaw, but he could have the skills that never allow his chin to get tested. And Wlad was said to have a glass then he started popping out that jab, and no one got near his chin again. Not to say Lebron or any other athlete would have those same skills or fighting style, but the athleticism is their.

Man I could care less if the athlete is from America, Europe, or where ever. This article is simply asking how Lebron would do as a boxer. More than likely because of how freakishly athletic and strong he is. He has athletic abilities like no other basketball player we've seen on any continent. So the question was proposed how would he fair as a boxer. I understand that other countries have great fighters. And many Americans do down play their greatness. But that is because they fighting most of their fights in their respective countries, and America is looked at as having the best boxers, and anyone who wants to make it big has to fight in America at some point. And that is true as of right now. But the more European fighters who make big names for themselves can bring American fighters to them. That's why the super six is great. Because it has boxing on a huge stage for the world to see in many different countries. But it also created another issue when Froch won a horrible decision against Dirrel. Now who would want to fight in another country if they feel they would not get a fair shake. But that is another topic. Bottom line is if you don't like the subject line then why even interject in this thread?

Basically what the TS is saying is that a 6'8, very athletic, very talented boxer could beat Wlad. Great, now all you have to do is find one.

Exactly, I mentioned that on the first page. Just cuz you're a hell of an athelete does not mean you going to be an elite fight.

Why is everyone jumping on the TS?

It doesnt take a rocket scientist to wonder what LeBron james would be lke today if he was boxing at age 5 rather then shooting hoops. Everybody acting like pricks.
