    Sergio Martinez was a soccer player and there have been others.

    And, I know soccer players also turned to basketball like Olajuwon and others

        Wilder is not that impressive and looks to be a bit chinny as well.

          Money talks, and big Americans are making way more money without taking one punch. That's hard to beat. But you have to give it to the Klits. They ****** at start but have continue learning and gettting better as time goes.
          Right now, they are in charge.

            This is probably the best defender in the world Carles Puyol.

            Very tough central defender hard tackler excellent ball control footwork, turn of speed and I think he could slug pretty good and probably has a decent chin.

                Thing is, the best potential boxer playing soccer right now isn't necessarily going to be the best soccer player. They're two different sports and to excel in one doesn't mean you're going to excel in another. Just look at MMA and boxing, two vastly more comparable sports. Even then you can't simply say, ok Wlad dominates boxing so he'd KO Lesnar, doesn't work like that. My point was never that a soccer player could just transition to boxing and be great, though that's certainly possible as Sergio Martinez demonstrates. Rather, it was that out of all the potential guys who might one day have become a great boxer but chose another sport instead that sport is more than likely going to be soccer, given its vast worldwide popularity.

                      Then he can't be the best athlete then, surely?
