Boxing Ballet

Boxing is as much about movement than puches. So why dont boxers try ballet?

Are they afraid they may look girlish?

Anything to gain an advantage over their opponants, surely?

Already been done. Evander Holyfield took some ballet during the 1990's to improve his balance. This is well documented and is even on one of his preshow interviews.

What bruce lee used was fencing that's great for footwork, i think ballet is good for your ballance.

i would think some Tai Chi as well, maybe some drunken boxing...



there's so many other questions like that...
such as.. why not...
a Sumo-wrestler for a hockey goalie or an NFL lineman
a 7'+ NBA star as an NFL wide receiver
...
and the list goes on
