For the record, this is just an innocent post looking to get some feedback from boxing followers, if you don't care about the topic, that's all right, just don't crucify me. Honestly, I put this post up because not too many of my friends follow boxing (sad, but 'tis true), so I just wanted to know what other people might think about the following topic.
With everyone well aware of the fact that successful American heavyweights are becoming extinct and that the heavyweight landscape is being dominated by talent from foreign soil, what would you rather see Notre Dame safety and American heavyweight boxer Tom Zbikowski do following his senior season at South Bend, after witnessing the kid showcase some skills in his complete annhilation of fellow heavyweigh Robert Bell at MSG (who we will agree to disagree wasn't paid to step into the ring to be Z's punching bag).
Would you rather him:
A) Enter the Draft and play in the NFL.
Or...
B) Become a professional heavyweight boxer, hopefully successfully representing the USA.
Ultimately, odds are he will join the NFL, just like a handful of potential heavyweight talents that are playing football for a living as opposed to professionally boxing (most notably Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, known to not only be one bad dude on the gridiron, but in the ring as well).
So that being said, let me know what you think. Here's the fight in case you never got a chance to see it over the summer.
