IMO anybody over 201 pounds and have decent athletic ability

[Sam Donald]

can make it as a heavyweight boxer in todays boxing

thats a fact

im sure they can go out there n make a living

looking at seth mitchel, dude started at 24, turned pro at 26 and has a good run but not elite material but has had a better career than 75% of boxers out there

[Weebler I]

Not a fact, it's an opinion.

Mitchell had some good punching power as well athletic ability, but it still wasn't anywhere near enough to crack the top 10.

It takes a lot.
Dedication, gained skill,intangables,
The right team, and courage/heart with some
Something to put on the table>>>> power/speed/chin/endurance/reflexes,
One of those things to carry the day. Not just anyone
Or everyone would do it.

Seth Mitchell was not the best example. He has good power, but he was exposed quickly. Doesn't have the necessary skill or chin to compete with the elites. Think the same will happen to Deontay Wilder sooner or later.

I would think there are much more intangibles to being a great boxer, let alone a great HW.
