NFL Players average ONLY 0.19 Miles a game. They got no stamina to box...

Yes they are big, but that doesn't mean **** if you can't box for 12 rounds. That's like saying Usain Bolt could win a marathon and he is stuck in sprinting.

Bench press doesn't mean punching power at all. Frazier couldn't lift weights

Most Football Players who have boxed have made fools of them selves From Mark Gastenoa to Ed Too Tall Jones

Boxers are just to to to little to step on the football field.they would just die.

Besides you can train in stamina, anyone has the ability to, all it requires is cardio. It's not some skill only a handful of people have lol, you can't however teach what people are born with such as size and explosiveness and just beastly genetics.

The size and explosiveness that make Rob Gronkowski, Adrian Peterson and Calvin Johnson beast in football is exactly what causes them to be deficient as far as stamina.

Let's face it: the NFL excuse is a way for those crying over the success of the Klitschkos to cope with the reality that the heavyweight division is not ruled by black Americans any longer.

Don't forget the other media heavy place Britain. Other than that, you pretty much nailed it.

[Vasyl’s dad]

this tired excuse of Americas great hw champ being in the NFL is just that, an excuse. oddly enough, its virtually only Americans who believe it.

What's funny is people act like these other non-american Heavyweights are so much better skill wise than other heavyweights in the 90's. Compare the average heavyweight today to back then, the skill level isn't even close.

Aside from Wlad, Vitali, and maybe Haye.....who would compete with the 90's heavyweights???
