I always thought Michael Vick would have been an amazing boxer. And Derrick Rose from the bulls said if he did not play basketball he would have boxed and said he loves boxing.

Usain Bolt.

He would be the fastest boxer P4P of all time and on top of that he has a great reach (he is 6'5 tall)

BTW, immedietly after posting Randy Moss came to my mind aswell

I dunno if it has been done before on this board, but i think it could be good fun to name a few sports and then one or two athletes from said sport, who MIGHT have made a good boxer, mostly based on the persons physical and mental skills and toughneess. Judging a non-fighters chin will allways be guessing, so this should not be taken into consideration.

I'll start:

Basketball - Lebron James (Yao Ming??)

Football - Ray lewis (Micheal Vick)

soccer - Carlos Tevez (Didier Drogba)

Tennis - Rafael Nadal (Andy Rod****??)

Golf(hehe) - Tiger Woods

if you like, please name a few, and also, tell me what you think about mine

Some say that our American Heavyweights are now Football players. They make better money and don't have to take so much punishment.
Linebackers and big running backs and other positions have increase while our Heavyweights have decrease to alarming numbers.
