    Mentality plays a huge part in it.
    Look at Kobe Bryant. with his insane work ethics and ego, I can see him being a HW Floyd if he started boxing at age 5
    Kobe weighs 200 pounds...He'd probably be a Light Heavyweight or Cruiserweight. He wouldn't make it as a Heavyweight, IMO. Too small.

      6'4 300lb Aleksandr Karelin





      "He is the only three-time olympic gold medal winner in his sport. He was undefeated for 13 years straight and went 10 years in a row without allowing even a single point to be scored against him.

      He's 6'4 and wrestled at 289 lbs. It's been noted that he could clean AND PRESS over 420 lbs. He had a move he would do called the "Karelin slam". In this move he'd pick up his 300 lb squirming opponent while they were laying face down on the mat, trying to be dead weight so he wouldn't pick them up.

      He'd do it anyway, throwing them completely over his shoulder slamming them on their own heads."

      That's a picture of him up above. I'm sure many of you already know him, but for those that don't, his name is Alexander Karelin and he is the most feared athlete ever. Others have called him the toughest man alive...

          Along with Cristiano Ronaldo, I'd vote for Zlatan Ibrahimovic. If he would be half as crafty in the ring as he is on the soccer field he'd be fun to watch. He could be a great super middleweight.

                You guys are saying LeBron James, and I see a guy with the best physique in the NBA at his position who shies away from contact.

                ...and I'm a huge LeBron fan.

                      i'm decently sure you didnt just say ronaldo would be a good boxer and would ko bute because that's pretty hard to even dream that it would happen.
