        How many hard punches can he throw before his muscles make him gas out?

        In shape for a sport where you have plenty of breaks is not the same as fighting 3 mins, for 12 rounds.

          MMA guys are better suited athletes to boxing yet gas out...

          Being athletic alone does not mean you can fight.

            No ****.........that's not the point I was making........that one kat made a statement that ALL NFL Players were fat............that's all.......not that they could fight just that there are plenty "In-Shape" kats who play football......

              I don't think so..Boxing is pretty rare in being An arm torso action more than Leg sport..Rowers..Gymnast,Goalies in hockey/soccer. These rely more on Hand coordination speed and power than football...Leg works important but In fairness it's not what makes a fighter..A fighter that uses good legwork to support his punching and positioning can be great.In general Boxers don't push or run there way into position like in football..Even the most showy footwork in boxing is not in the realm of competing with world class dance..I think dance is the closest in terms of movement positioning and timing to boxing footwork..A good dancer could go all day doing amazing boxing footwork without breaking a sweat..Throw in the Arm torso power though and their toast.

              Their could defiantly be some decent potential boxers in Football..But I don't think he talents are interchangeable..
