    They said He were pretty good at Boxing too when he tried it.
    6'4'' 280 with 87 reach.

    That is a ahtlere here with size, power, agility, and the MENTAL Strenght of a Fighter...

    Americans unfornately dont know **** about him.. one of the Greatest Athletes ever...

    Edit. He was born at almost 15lbs, 7kg..

    He would have kicked ass in any sports, just a pure beast, trained like a madman. Probably the most dominant an athlete has ever been in any given sport (except maybe don bradman the cricket player).

    I think it is an error to pick basketball players. They may be tall, but they don't have any fighter instinct. Guys in american football, hockey and Rugby are a better choice in my opinion. Take a guy like Roberto Duran, he was not that great physically, but he was a FIGHTER.

    Dwight Howard is an athletic beast. I would love to see him, I bet he'd have mad power.

    Lebron for some reason strikes as someone that would be chinny.

    Milan Lucic of the Boston Bruins was a good amateur boxer and he's been kicking ass as a youngin in the NHL ever since his rookie season. I reckon he'd be a good SMW/LHW. There's youtube footage of him beating kids in the ams.

    Troy Crowder used to play for the New Jersey Devils (NHL) and fought some classic hockey fights getting the better of Bob Probert was a former golden gloves boxer and was tough as nails.

    Zdeno Chara with the Boston Bruins is 6'9, 255lbs and known to be in the best condition in the NHL. He's slovakian and reminds me of a Klitchko on skates. Has mad power, the hardest shot in the league and no one messes with him but when they do he usually end fights with 1 or 2 punches leaving bloody faces and broken noses in the process. The guy is tough as hell too and has an iron will.

    Reggie Bush might have a some success do to natural power and athleticism.

    Tiger Woods- i know I'll get laughed at for this one but the guys willl and work ethic is undeniable and he's a fitness freak.

    Good call on Iverson people. Iverson had the heart, quickness and athletic ability to succeed in boxing.

    Here's some more: Gordie Howe- never lost a fight and one of the top 3 hockey players ever

    John Mcenroe? hahahaha DQ's in every fight

    Pete Sampras, would proly fight like winky----no idea why i came to that conclusion

    You've obviously never played ball on an inner city/urban blacktop with no referee in someone else's neighborhood.

    Many a dude in the NBA cut his teeth that way. See how long you last without any heart or 'fighter instinct'.

    basketball players are soft and fragile... aside from a select few(Griffin and Dwight)

    Shaq boxing?? Ever heard of Bob Sapp?? he would suck!
