    What athletes do you think coulda made it in boxing? The first one that comes to mind for me is Karl Malone, man was he a beast. I'd also add Terell Owens, Ray Lewis, and Steve Smith(not the one on the Giants)

    Thoughts?

    He's the most beasty and terrifying centre-back in years.

    I was just wondering the other day if a strong throwing arm would translate to strong punching. Take someone like John Elway who broke fingers with his passing or roger clemmons. There is obviously a lot of power and accuracy there. With proper training could that be turned into a devestating right cross

    Lebron comes to mind too. He's got size, power, speed. He coulda been a good fighter IMO.
