What Athletes from other sports do you feel could have done well in boxing?

[komodo]

Joey Barton would have been pretty good.

[krimzon]

Many fencers

[Gino Ros]

If Anderson Silva had trained exclusively boxing, he would be a very good boxer.

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."

P4P one of the most powerful men ever

[New England]

If I had to just guess athletes...hmmm...

Reggie White used to just toss 330 lbs guys aside with one hand. He was explosive as hell too.

Lots of left tackles...Orlando Pace...Jonathon Ogden type tackles.

Hockey enforcers can probably throw and take punches pretty well.

the most feared man in the league right now is zdeno chara

i have little doubt that he would have been an excellent heavyweight with proper training.


6'9"
265 and completely ripped.

he'd look markedly larger than the klitschkos.

lets be real
much of the division is a bunch of fat guys nearly void of talent

any defensive end, linebacker, physical tight end, or a power forward or athletic center is going to be a huge step up from the talent at you see in the division today.


tony thompson is fighting wladimir klitschko for the heavyweight championship of the world..... again

i rest my damn case.

[New England]

If Anderson Silva had trained exclusively boxing, he would be a very good boxer.

he fought in a boxing match and looked pretty damn ordinary.

P4P one of the most powerful men ever

actually if you're talking about p4p strength you'd want to find somebody who doesn't weigh much
