    There's a lot of talk about young american's going into NFL/NBA instead of taking up boxing career's because of the money, thus draining the once dominant pool of US talent, Who do you think would have been a star.
    my vote goes to Julius Pepper's an absolute beast of an athlete.

    People might get on me for this, but I'm going with TO. The guy is always in tremendous shape, and would be a huge PPV attraction, I imagine he'd have some skill and we all know he wouldn't need a promoter.

    Ray Lewis would be a killer at HW.

    Of all the professional non-boxer athletes, the one I think would make the best boxer is Allen Iverson (probably fighting at 154). Great quickness all over his body, tough as hell, and he appears to have a decent beard....

    Bull****.


    If the select few who do have the skills, had the heart and dedication for boxing.


    You do know that theres a person out there who could be the absolute greatest fighter of all time but they probably dont even like sports, or dont have time for sports.

    Tommy Zibikowski former Notre Dame star and current Ravens back-up safety was going to turn pro if he didn't get drafted.

    I would guess a guy like Bob Sanders would be a wrecking-ball in the ring!

    maybe so but the bull**** about these people going the nfl and things like this, perhaps the fact that russia and alot of other countries didn't have pro boxers might have been the main reason the american talent pool was so strong.

    It's the truth. They make more money and more fame doing other things.

    The HW champion is most likely a basketball or football player somewhere in the world.

    load of ****, the best nfl or whatever sport you want doesn't make as much money as the op boxer, the average guys in both sports now thats different but your wrong.
    These new american stars are not doing boxing is because america is hit at boxing at the moment and most americans can't accept that.
    In the uk boxing is well behind a number of sports but that hasn't stopped champions coming through, poor excuses m8.
