    I don't want to bust your bubble, but didn't he cry a few times for not winning games in the past.

    I would only think that the Rock and Ray would have made some noise. Most of these wrestlers can't even fight. I use to work in a corrections facility years ago and I met one officer who use to hang out with Road Warriors and Rick Rude and many others. He told me that a fight broke out between Rude against five bar patrons and he beat them down with his boot. He was for real and of course I put him in as a potential boxer, but as we all know he past away.

    Yes but so what? Tito cried after he "beat" DLH, does that make him less tough? No of course not. Shaq cried after winning his first title. I actually respect that kind of stuff, it shows passion.

    Jonah Lomu! Yeah Vinne Jones is a good one, what about Phil 'the power' Taylor or Pete ' one dart' Manley...think Eric Cantona would be a good kick boxer.

    i'd have to say roy keane myself...he used to box when he was a kid and was decent by all accounts!! and we all know he's not the sort of person to back out of a fight, just ask alan shearer, gareth southgate, mick mccarthy, patrick viera ......(you get the idea)

    Also Tim Cahill, he's always sparring with the corner flag when he scores a goal

    Are you just picking guys that are pretty buff? Haha I can't imagine Owens as a boxer. Ray Lewis could probably do MMA, I don't know about boxing. Jerry Stackhouse would be a good boxer. I've seen him hit Hornacek back in the day with like a 6 hit combo to the face while Karl Malone just watched his friend get beat up. Steve Smith probably would be a good boxer, he's already punched out 2 of his teammates.
