Which athletes from other sports would make a good boxer??

[RubenSonny]

good pick. i think, unlike most basketball players, rondo would have the right temperament to be a fighter as well. hes a feisty SOB.
in contrast, i think lebron couldnt cut it becuz hes a mental midget who folds under pressure.

another basketball player i'd see being a good fighter is andre iguodala. 6'7, long ass arms, shredded, freak athlete, boundless energy with some of the quickest hands in basketball.
he also has a background in martial arts, so that type of coordination is there.

too many football players to name though.

Agreed about the basketball players, I reckon a prime Shawn Kemp would have been a beast, that guy was so physically gifted. I think a prime Michael Irvin would be sick too.

Are you kidding? He couldn't fight for shit when he was in that brawl.

True story, he must've damaged his wrist pretty badly in that rumble.

he accounted for himself fairly well. as far as fighting goes, what did he do wrong?
jumping into the stands and being pulled in every direction is not comparable to being in a boxing match.
his pops was a boxer. ron's trained in boxing. he's a student of the game. hes got great size, length, coordination... quick, massive hands and that certain edginess needed to be nasty in the ring.

IIRC his pops was a Golden Gloves champ

Nfl fullback Leron Mcclain. 6' 260lbs, the man is a beast and likes to lay hits on people.
