Which athletes from other sports do you see making a good boxer

As the title states, athletes from other sports, who do you see being a good boxer given years of training. An obvious choice would probably be Lebron.

I actually think some gymnasts would probably have good movement and power lol.

Be interesting to see freaks of nature like Michael Phleps and Usain Bolt compete in other sports as I feel like they're natural sportsmen.

Allen Iverson in his prime

Futbol/Soccer has taken the best potential boxers than any other sport.

Ibrahimovic could've been a monster!

Gymnasts are no joke. Probably the strongest athletes P4P. They have coordination, power, flexibility, reflexes, etc.

Soccer players are some of the best conditioned athletes of any sport.

Some football or basketball players could probably cross over. Maybe Lebron? AJ Green as a 6'4" cruiserweight?

I'd say LeBron & Sanu for sure..

I wonder if competitive climbers would be good. They arguably have the best p4p strength and core alongside gymnasts. And the competitive climbers can be quite explosive.

Climbers have insane strength and conditioning, I can imagine them having transferable physical abilities in boxing

Agree with your post, Gymnasts are beasts. football playrs (soccer) gets a bad rep because they act like they're hurt but in reality thats just a way of getting favourable decisions (wrongly so, but if you can't beat em you may aswell join em) they have great conditioning.

MMA, American Football, Wrestling, Rugby.

Boxing is the hurt game. Soccer, baseball, basketball, etc... ain't gonna save dudes that haven't trained to take hits in general, from the youngies to amateur, you need to prep safety gear to be a "good boxer" in the long run.

Some of our "best" boxers have a glass chins... you need to have dedicated first and foremost or proven to take heavy shots to your body. Getting hit in the head ain't no walk in the park.
