What Boxing ATG Would Win A Decathlon?

James Jeffries

 

Probably Norton.

 

The one who could pole vault.

 

Don't quote me on this, but I remember reading something that said Wlad was the fastest sprinting HW that either Manny or someone in his camp had seen.
Pacquiao had his energy levels as a plus but was also smaller than the usual athlete for those sports.
If we're stretching on who qualifies as an ATG by adding Norton, I wanna stretch it even more to get Sergio Martinez in on this.

 

Norton is an easy answer, considering his high school background but borderline great. A true ATG, I go Holyfield off the top of my sagittally-crested dome. For a guy who likes to go to war, the guy can run his arse off when he wants.

Note to self: Start Orlando Cruz greatness thread later.

 

John Conteh won Superstars.

 

What level of Decathlon? Can't see Lewis as much of an 800m runner and only Jones as a pole vaulter...

 

Ali and Lews had crappy footspeed.

 

For once, James might be the right answer.

Corrie Sanders is another mention. Dude broke 11 sec in the 100 meters as a rugger.

 

Hagler

 

Aaron Pryor. Probably do even better if he was high.

 

Crisanto Espana.

 

Oleksandr Usyk.
