Basketball players would have as good a chance to make a good boxer as any other group of athletes and better than most in my opinion. Each sport is different and being good at one sport doesn't mean you will be good at another sport. A guy could be a great basketball player and have a glass jaw, Maybe a basketball player couldn't punch hard or maybe he just doesn't want to fight. Maybe he hates pain and can't stand being hit. Atlas is a big know it all. Some of the assets that make a good basketball player would help him as a boxer but that is not enough. There are lots of good boxers who would totally suck at basketball. Wilder was laughing at what a poor basketball player AJ is. I bet AJ would beat Wilder in the ring even though Wilder is much better at basketball. The only ones who are sure to be good boxers are good boxers. Boxing is unique with it's own type of skills needed that are different than any other sport.

Throwing a ball isn't the same as throwing a punch.

No, football is where it's at.
