Mitchell is the perfect example of football tough, being different from boxing tough

Here's a little tidbit you might not have known: Back in the '60s Vince Lombardi watched Ali and thought he'd have made the perfect NFL tight end. Red Auerbach commented watching Ali shoot hoops at the Boston Garden that he'd have loved to have tried Ali at shooting guard in the NBA. He was that great an all-around athlete. If you fast-forwarded a juvenile Cassius Clay to today he doesn't even get a sniff at a boxing ring: He's going to get snatched up by other sports so fast the air would crackle.

Someone posted that pic of Lennox playing football. If Lennox Lewis had grown up in the states instead of Canada he most likely would never have gone into boxing.....and he likely would have excelled at any sport where his large size wouldn't be a liability. Lennox was a fine all-around athlete.

More hilarious fantasy American bile.

Bottom line, the great american heavyweight, is not in the NFL. Put that tired and lame argument to rest.

Saying that none of them could have been great fighters under any circumstances is plain ignorant.

America is shook. Can't produce a solid HW. Maybe they can try to claim Stiverne.

I wonder who's sock-puppet this one is.

If you grow up boxing you can develop a chin.

No, you don't. In fact, science contradicts what you say. Once you have a concussion you are more likely to suffer another.

Khan has been boxing since 11. Prescott rocked Khan with a jab after Khan had been "developing" his chin for 11 years. Rahman started boxing at 20. He only got knocked out, controversially, in his 30th fight and that was against Tua. The huge-hitting Tua couldn't even knock Rahman off his feet, even though Rahman had only been "developing" his chin for 6 years.

In short, the OP is 100% correct and you're 100% wrong.

The truth is football players just aren't athletic enough. The big, bulky, explosive freaks you see in football like Rob Gronkowski or Demarcus Ware couldn't play any other sport
