    You play Basketball, you play Socccer(football), but you don't play Boxing.

    None of the team-sport ball players would make it.

      I agree. The klitschko's wouldn't even be known

          None of them. Euro athletes that play soccer and rugby, Americans that play football and basketball-none of them would become good fighters unless they started young. You can't walk into this sport at an older age and beat a world class fighter. I can't even answer this question in fiction either.

          Fighters are born, not made.

            I don't think you are capable of understanding what a thread is asking. All your responses never answer the question. It's always this smart ass answer that just makes you look like a tool.

            The thread was asking if they took up boxing instead of the sport that they played. So it means if they started young and it was the only thing they ever did.

            The reason why there aren't too many American fighters now is because there are more options to make money in other sports. Those athletes that were going to Boxing before are now going to Basketball or Football or anything else.

                  They told me Larry Johnson boxed when he was younger. When he fought Alonzo Mourning, I knew he made the right decision to become a NBA baller.

                    You didn't answer the question. You misread it and talked out of your ass
