    Imagine he wouldve picked Basketball or Football instead of Boxing as a kid, do you see him being successful in those sports? He is highly athletic for a white man.

    With 6'5 he has the size to play either Shooting Guard or even Small Forward in the NBA.

    Your thoughts?

    Yes. He would be a very nasty Gronk-like tight end.

    You know who has size and athletic ability that reminds me of Wlad it is Tyson Fury. I can tell you all unequivocally that Fury has all the tools necessary to be Heavyweight Champion of the World

    Success in sports is 90% dedication, training and commitment, and only 10% talent. We all know Wlad is very good in the training, preparation and discipline department.

    So yes, I believe Wlad could have been very successful in other sports, considering his physical parameters were very good from early childhood on.

    Google the book "Talent Is Overrated: What Really Separates World-Class Performers from Everybody Else" -- Has a lot of fascinating facts about what sets apart world class performers and athletes from their 'talented' peers.

    I don't see why not. He is dedicated, disciplined and has tremendous physical attributes.

    He's too tall for soccer, and 6'5 isn't standing out in the NBA there are 1000's of taller guys trying to play.

    It matters how good of a "testing" policy they have.
