    I've always wanted to see Thomas Graversen (Everton midfielder) as a boxer - that could be interesting.

    As for Ronaldo - I know many would like to see him in the ring - laying on the canvas being counted out - but then again he proberbly just took a dive to try and get the opponent disqualified :D

    Believe it or not I think Lance Armstrong would be a good boxer if he trained properly. Obviously he'd be at a very low weight but he has amazing stamina and he has that tall skinny wire like power punching frame like Arguello.

    Can you imagine him chancing his arm with anyone capable of hitting him back?

    He's got shithouse written all over him.

    and with the lack of doping control in boxing he'd have no problems maintaining that stamina :smoke

    Anyone seen the movie, THE PROTECTOR with that new action fighter. I believe his name is Tony Ja (at least that's his acting name). I think he'd be able to kick some ass.

    I also think that Basketball players might be ok b/c of their extreme reach advantages. Imagine trying to fight Dwight Howard. He is huge. Then againi, the chin may not be there.

    now lets be honest,thats robinho hes punching,hes about 5'8"and about 10 stone lol

    keane had a record of 6-0 as an amateur,o'driscoll had a pretty decent am record.
    i think russell crowe could do some damage,but they aint athletes and i think 95% of the time the athlete wins.
