    We keep hearing about cab drivers being mentioned as opponents for GGG and so on.

    So I figure I make a poll on normal day 9 to 5 jobs that could transition well in pro boxing!

    Juan Manuel Marquez was an accountant before he got big and Deontay Wilder was a baller (basketball player) before boxing full time.

    And also Joe Smith who upset Fonfara recently, was a construction worker before making his big upset.

    Since when are basketball/football players and bodybuilders considered normal jobs?

    In all seriousness I would say bouncer or construction worker. Tony Galento ran a bar for most of his career.

    :lol: Deonkey needs to go back to being a baller once he gets KTFO, which is very soon.

    Yes a bouncer - standing around checking ID's translates really well (sarcasm) More like boxing translates into a bouncer HOWEVER all you need to be a bouncer is to be big to man handle people.
