How come europeans don't compete in the highest paying sports? Because they can't.

Plenty of Europeans in Golf.

You actually can train to jump higher. It's no coincidence that Olympic lifters possess the highest vertical jump relative to height of any athlete in the world. Speed can be increased too, though not to the same degree. Explosive endurance (which soccer players possess in droves) is much harder to improve, and is also one of the most useful traits for any boxer to have. But that can be improved as well. Nobody is born a champion.

jumping just for measurement and jumping with also jumping to defend you from scoring is two TOTALLY DIFFERENT THINGS, let me see a Lifter do moves in the Air like a Michael Jordan or LeBron James or Kobe Bryant

sure you can improve Speed and Explosiveness but yet you still won't be as fast as some of the fastest guys in the world who are just blessed with speed, Soccer players posses excellent footwork and endurance and yes Soccer players are great athletes nobody ever said they wasn't

Your theory is garbage.

NFL/NBA have always been around.

Lebron James could become a boxer if he wants but it wouldn't matter because he's inferior and would get ktfo by the superior Klitschko brothers.

Biased racist clown.

IMO the athleticism of basketball and football are overrated. yes they're players in those sports that are a freak of nature.

However, you don't have to jump out the building or run the fastest to dominate that sport or to be considered a HOF"er or ATG.

Fact is boxing is a special sport, having athleticism means nothing if you don't have intangibles.

I do not buy for one second that a B-ball or football player could have been HW champ if they would of chose boxing instead of the sports they chose.

I actually agree with that.

I don't care if Lebron would of chose boxing when he was 6 yrs old. Doesn't mean he would have had the intangibles to be a HW champ.

I agree boxers are superior athletes. European boxers usually suck though, they only dominate in weak divisions or against old washed up american fighters.

I think you mean "I wish more african/american HW boxers would take their career more serious".

I say this because guys like Wilder, Chambers, and others have the talent to be better than what they are but aren't pushing themselves. Fast Eddie has turned it around in the past couple of years, but that was only after coming to the ring looking like a fat @ss for the majority of his career.

True, those are only things that can only be attained from hours spent practising on the basketball court.

sure you can improve Speed and Explosiveness but yet you still won't be as fast as some of the fastest guys in the world who are just blessed with speed, Soccer players posses excellent footwork and endurance and yes Soccer players are great athletes nobody ever said they wasn't

This intelligent and witty fellow did.

Soccer is filled with small people, hardly any athletes over 200 lbs. Also it's a very easy sport. Those russian sports are filled with unathletic bums too. Combat sambo? Hockey? Power lifting? Get real.

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?
