    This intelligent and witty fellow did.



    But anyway, you concede that soccer players have world class endurance and footwork whilst I'll concede that basketball players have world class jumping abilities and NFL players have world class speed. Now please answer me this: Which of the above skills seems more useful for boxing?
    Soccer!!! believe it or not it is many great athletes who play Basketball and American Football that have a Soccer/Futbol background, many of them play that sport to improve their footwork, many of them are fans of that sport and have a ton of respect for that Sport, Kobe Bryant is a big fan of Soccer so again I don't agree with anyone that tries to take away from Soccer...how ever I will say Soccer Players are not very big guys, not like you have a 6'8 250 lbs guy running around and showing excellent footwork compared to Basketball were you do have big guys playing Power Forward who do have the size and the excellent footwork, that is the argument I think the other guy was trying to make

        Soccer actually plays a lot. And, to train for it is really quite hard to get in soccer shape.

        What out of shape soccer athlete do you see?

        Just stop the hating and think about it.

        I am not even a soccer fan but I admit the prepaaration for it is no joke and the pay is pretty damn good. Not low whatsoever.

          Yeah, I know the argument he was trying to make, but I'll bet if you ask him to name you his top ten heavyweights neither the Klitschkos nor Lewis would be on there. Instead you'd have guys like Ali, Frazier, Louis, Tyson, etc, perfectly respectable choices but also far from massive uber-muscular guys the likes of which you'd find in the NBA or the NFL.

          It's like he refuses to acknowledge the dominance or skills of the Klitschkos yet concedes that the only way to beat them would be to match them in size and strength. He's a very confused individual, that's for sure.

            Deontay Wilder is a poor man's Michael Grant. Last night he got knocked down, badly hurt and almost KTFO by a tomato can.

            Here's a video of the glass chinned Wilder getting KTFO by Russian Evgeny Romanov in the amatuers....The KO is at 1:50 of the video

            The Russians completely dominated the black Americans in ALL weight classes in this tournament.

              it pays about 1/100th of what world class basketball players get paid

              plus anyone can kick a little ball around a field.

                  Soccer players come in good sizes and if you want to look at muscle definition check some playgirl editions:

                    who is considered the best Soccer/Futbol Player today??? Cristiano Ronaldo? who is 6'1 176-180 lbs, decent size but I seriously doubt if he wasn't a Futbol Player he would be a "Boxer", it is absolutely no connection between a Futbol Players and Boxers but most Boxers seems to enjoy playing Basketball for some reason

                      soccer players are thin, tiny and weak.
