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

[Cutthroat]

bull***ing ****...what im sayin is that not becuase some athlete in nfl or nba is good, does'nt automactily mean he can be a good boxer as well...boxing is mostly mental....nfl is mostly atletiscm and physical attributes...so the excuse that the reason why US has no hw boxing champion is becuase all the guys are going to nfl and nba is ****ing big BULL****....nothing but big BULLL****

thats like sayin kobe bryant and michael vick would've been a hw world champion if they took boxing ...it's BULL****!...

Kobe probably could, the guy is insanely mentally tough and I can't f%cking stand the douche he's even playing with a torn ligament in his shooting WRIST. You HAVE to be mentally tough to play in these sports, you must have a warrior's mentality to play in the NFL. Guys are always playing with injuries, McNabb played with a broken leg before, Demarcus Ware played with a sprained neck, guys are always playing with injuries!

In basketball guys are always talking crap to each other guys like Kobe, Lebron, Wade etc. all have targets on their backs, even rookies. Guys are constantly challenging each other, you have to prove yourself 1 on 1 against these guys, it's extremely taxing mentally.








Seth Mitchell is a GREAT example.

Guy is an average athlete at best, guys like him are a dime a dozen, he's not very big either.

The guy hadn't even stepped in a ring prior to 2006, he only started after he saw Tommy Z (Another example) win a boxing match, it inspired him.

He played college football, but was forced to retire after knee and shoulder/neck injuries.

He started boxing in '06, had just 10 amateur fights from '06-'07 going 9-1. Turned pro in '08, and is now 24-0 as a pro.

This inexperienced fighter just defeated and KO'd a legit HW in just 2 rounds, (by today's standards) in Ibragimov, a guy who has never been KO'd before.


A guy who had over 200 amateur fights and 30 pro fights was KO'd in just 2 rounds against a guy who just picked up boxing a few years ago, a guy that was already 26 when he turned pro.

Mitchell was quoted as saying "Imagine how good I'd be if I started boxing when I was 12"



Now, remember these are PROSPECTS that are being taken away from HW boxing. Nobody is saying a guy could automatically make the transfer like Mitchell did although it is possible.


If that doesn't convince you that would be HW's are playing football and basketball I don't know what will, it also shows just how weak the HW division is.

I don't think anyone really makes that point when this comes up. The real focus is the potential for greatness with the amount of genetic specimens in something like the NFL, not that any one of them you pluck would translate into a top tier fighter.

That league has produced 6'4+ 300lb+ men that ran anchor leg on their track relay teams. ANCHOR LEG. Meaning you're the fastest. Think Lennox Lewis fat like HW Toney, moving faster than a prime Tyson or Ali.

Idc what anyone says, something like that would scare the daylights out of the current crop of heavyweights, even if said fighter was green. You'd have to pray there was something wrong with him. (can't punch, chinless, little heart, mental midget)

black americans are losing their HW boxing champions coz they are all going to nfl and nba...really?...thats the most pathetic excuse ive ever heard...

its really dumb to assume good nfl and nba althletes can automaticly be good boxers...

you dont need warriors to be successful in the nba or nfl...just good athletes with physical gifts..

warrior spirit is must to be succesful in boxing....the only exeption to that is floyd jr...

blacks dominated when drug testing wasn't as advanced. before the 2000's.

It was meant as a joke which most people got.

LOL @ the irony though, calling everyone else gay because you find yourself attracted to Serena Williams.

All of Europe's and South America's best heavyweight prospects are goalkeepers in soccer. Most of these guys are 6' 4"+, have great reach, and lightening quick reflexes.

All of Australia's best potential heavyweight prospects are playing Australian League Football (an extremely tough sport). These guys are tough, big, and have terrific stamina.

All of New Zealand's and South Africa's best prospects are playing rugby.

All of Ireland's best prospects are playing Gaelic Football.

All of Scandinavia's best prospect are participating in the World's Strongest Man competition and writing black metal music.
