Elite boxers who also excelled at other sports?

Kermit would have caused murder at his weight.

 

Katie Taylor played football (soccer) for Ireland and was very good

 

Golota was great canoeist. Best in Polish national boxing team and only puncher that in 80' and 90' could compete with pro canos.

 

I found this out last week and I find that so interesting. I think it's a decent indicator of how strong (or not) a talent pool is at any given time when someone can dominate different fields entirely. Like imagine if Wayne Rooney went on to be undisputed welterweight champion lol. Or if Ricky Hatton had previously retired from premier league football.

I don't say this to disparage Katie either, just think it's interesting.

 

Lol, I was thinking of this. I think he stripped the gears in the biking heat, too.
