    Great "athletes" do NOT make great "fighters"

    answer me this............

    If Mike Tyson was born in the mid-late 80's, would he be playing NFL?

    What about George Foreman? Muhammed Ali? Joe Frazier? Sonny Liston?

    These guys are FIGHTERS, born and bred.

    Look at Kobe Bryant, and these other nba and nfl guys, do they have the same fighting spirit as the afore-mentioned?

    **** NO

    Accept it Yanks, you're FIGHTERS are all either, lazy and out of shape, or just plain NOT GOOD ENOUGH

    stop telling me that bloody Michael Vick or Lebron James could have beaten the Klitschko's if they were boxers.


    Fact is you're fighters are either lazy, or just straight up suck.

    The Klitschko brothers are Warriors, the Yanks have gone soft.

    Ignorance is bliss, If Ray Lewis, Dwight Howard or Blake Griffin where boxers, they'd give the Klits a hell of a fight... With that said Id still take 5 nfl players against 5 European boxers anyday in a street fight!!!

      Dwyane Wade cried on a f ucking wheelchair,

      because he injured his shoulder.

      These guys play other sports for a reason,

      because they're not fighters in any way shape or form.
      This is also a myth as well....

      Do you honestly belive that the reason Cuba dominate the amateur ranks is because they are born fighters....no...its because amateur boxing is taken seriously and is almost a religion in Cuba.....

      To a degree you are sometime born with a fighters instinct...but to say that Wade would never have been a striker no matter how hard he tried...is complete garbage IMO......

      India dominate Cricket (to a degree) because it is the only sport played in Indai and is again...a religion....do you honestly believe they were born to play cricket...or was it becuase cricket was the only thing played....


      You arrgument completely falls down about Wade because a lot of boxers get into boxing because they get bullied at a young age and dont klnow how to defend themselves.......

            Two questions.

            Did the NFL not exist before 10 or 15 years ago?

            How many NFL players make more than Mike Tyson did, adjusting for inflation?

                Its pretty naive to think it has 0 affect on American Heavyweight boxing.

                Tom Zbikowski who is fighting on the Mayorga undercard said he would be a boxer if it were not for the NFL. Are you calling him a liar?

                How about this guy below? Wasn't even born in North America, but the small time he spent there, he was almost whisked away by evil football machine.

                They would have stolen a very good Heavyweight.

                  Well considering we drew with Algeria as well, it wasnt that big a deal.

                  Our players are overrated trash with no passion. At least we can admit that unlike you with your boxers.

                    Not true....

                    The English media hyped England to the hilt....and when you lost...it was mostly Capello's fault.......
