Pick a athlete in history that might have been able to be Heavyweight Champion

[Southpaw16]

Bo Jackson and Jim Brown both come to mind.

What about a guy like Troy Polamalu? He is very strong and very explosive.

I'm skeptical about a lot of defensive linemen, keep in mind you have to go 12 rounds in boxing, it takes a lot of endurance. I've seen videotapes of Bob Sapp and that guy is very slow and there are a lot of heavyweights who can beat him.

**** butkus mean joe green mike singletary or fred couples.

I think the perfect athlete for this would be Ray Lewis. Big, strong, quick, tough, total package.

shaq might make a good fighter...huge but athletic

shaq from basketball, but i like ronnie lottwith a few more pounds in his day at hvy - remember when he got 1/2 his finger or something removede so he could play in the super bowl?

Correct^

Wilt Chimberlain. And Kareem Abdul Jabbar would be my other pick.

** Jabber was not a fighter. He had to sucker punch Kent Benson to gain advantage over him. Keep in mind there are hundreds of thousands of athletes with enough physical talent to become heavy champ, but precious few with a fighter's chin, attitude, and instinct to fight.

Wilt would scatter today's NBA players with just his presence on the court. He was a very intimidating person and one of the strongest athletes ever. I've heard stories he could grab 2 normal sized men by the coat collars and pull them both a foot off the ground. They busted the mold when they made him.

....He was also very gentle and went out of his way not to be known as a bully though. If he was going to dunk and a guy got his arm in the way he would ease up. He always maintained that he didn't want to be perceived as someone who would bully others with his size and strength. By all accounts he was a very likeable guy as well. He got laid because of who he was as a professional athlete high profile guy, but most of those chicks wanted to **** him because they liked him, and also because he had a 13 inch ****.

Kurt Thomas - he broke Pervis Ellison's jaw with one punch from his weak hand.

ID take TO or a Young Bill Rominaski

Lebron James has a nice frame, Young Charles Barkley.......

**** just think if TO was bread to be a boxer i think he would be a destroyer, with his cut and build and im sure great stamnia and speed he would be a force

Wilt actually challenged Ali to a fight. When Ali offered to let him have the entire purse just to have the chance to shut Wilt up, Chamberlain stopped talking about it. Obviously Ali would have killed him if Wilt's first fight was against Ali. I wonder though if a tremendous athlete like Wilt with his size could have become a great boxer.
