I believe Shaq (Orlando Magic Shaq), David Robinson, and Lebron would be great Heavyweights if they were boxing since they were born. Discuss
an "if" thread hmm..... besides other sport i always wondered how The legendary Bruce Lee would do if ever laced up!! He would probably end kicking the motherf*****.
Ray Lewis would have probably been pretty beasty. and i guess most hockey players have some fighting experience...
To be honest, BJ Penn has displayed wonderful boxing in his fights. Quick head feints to avoid punches and fast counters to missed shots. I don't know how it translates against pro boxers, but I think it's enough.
Actually Shaq has been getting some MMA training. He's interested in making the transition from NBA to MMA someday. It's not Boxing per se but close enough. I think any great athlete would make a great fighter. Would've loved to see Bruce Lee compete professionally. Then again if he made that commitment he might not have become the man he is.
