    Keane: Fake hardman incarnate.

    Dallagio: Puff on steroids.

    Duncan Ferguson might have made the grade and those 300lb gridiron freaks would be no pushover.

    Quite few hockey players could be good boxers.

    Cantona with his "high" kick could be an MMA champ.

    Not so.
    He was an amateur boxer earlier in his life. I think he would have been a pretty good boxer.


    I like watching NFL but I dont really know much about the individual players. Do any of the experts here think that any current or past players could make it as pro boxers?

    From what I have seen, NBA players punch like old ladies so I don't think they are candidates. :yep

    former arsenal and current portsmouth right back lauren was meant to be a superb amateur boxer back when he was younger but chose football instead of the squared circle.

    Brian O'Driscoll, the Ireland rugby captain is a prome candidate, he boxed in his youth ,( and still does when he gets spare time), his father was an Irish Champion as were 2 of his brothers and anyone who say him stand up to those 3 Australian monsters (6'6 - 280lbs plus) when his team mate got stamped on would be in no doubt.

    A bunch of NFL and NBA players have the raw talent to be great boxers.

    Depends on the unknown, The Chin


    Danny Bonaducci (Danny Partridge). He's old, but he's tough skilled dude, and mean as hell. He beat the crap out of Barry Williams (Greg Brady) in celebraty boxing a few years ago. Barry Williams has a good chin. Danny nailed him with brutal accurate shots, and Barry got up from several KD's and the ref. finally stopped it.

    Screech from Saved By the Bell kicked ass in that celebrity match. :yep

    What about actors who have played boxers: Will Smith, Russell Crowe, De Niro, Carl Weathers, Mr. T etc..?
