Must Be Because All The Best Prospects Are in the NFL and NBA!

[D4thincarnation]

i played soccer (european football) for ten years in my youth. an entire decade.

among youth/school aged kids it's the most popular sport in america
more popular than football and basketball until you get into high school


you've clearly never played football or basketball
or even seen them played
or seen the athletes

how do you feel so qualified, is what i'd like to know?

I've seen Basketball and American football, don't like the sports. Both sport are very stop start, with plenty of breaks. Game is based on plays.

You know it not an endurance sport the high intesity or boxing or football.

What kind of ground do they cover in the NFL, in 90min game players run 12km.

Boxing requires fast twitch muscles, I don't think the NFL or the NBA rely on those as much.

Correct me if I am wrong.

No bad teeth in Britain has gone throught the roof over the last hundred years and it has coincided with the decline of healthly fed Brits.

Like it or not it does play a role.

If James Toney was born in the 40s he would not have fought at heavyweight.

I really couldn't care less about your nationalistic pathologies so long as you keep them to yourself.

How is that nationalistic?

I'm not the one making excuses for America decline on the heavyweight scene.

Pro boxing has grown immensely in the world over the last 30 years, but rather than give credit, some want to make excuses why America does not rule the roost anymore.

Which great Ameican heavyweight could have made a good Basketball player or NFL player but some of you seem to think it could go the other way.

Skills in sports are rarely transferable, and even rarer in skilled sports.

And even if some guys that could have made good boxers end up in other sports, you don't think other countries have the same problem.

There is also a decline in American boxing across all the weights.

What is that down to? The rise of horse racing in America.



Check out how America did in the last Olympics, that why they had to get Freddie onboard.

Red Auerbach is on record as saying Muhammed Ali would have made a perfect NBA point guard. End thread.
