The same may well apply to the NFL, when people look at the normal body conditions of NFL players as opposed to professional boxers. I don't know whether this is so or not, but I'll leave it to someone else. I'm not really that knowledgeable about NFL physiques, for one thing.
If I must again repeat myself though, I seriously suspect that the reason that football players and basketball players find success in boxing these days is because the talent level is so low that size and athletic ability is enough. The decline in talent has to do with a decline in boxing in the US generally, and is not a reflection of a siphoning off of talent owing to the rise of the NFL and NBA. This is my opinion.
