Which celebrities/sportsmen would make good boxers in your opinion?

Tiger Woods!!

 

Didnt De Niro have a couple of hush hush pro fights as training for Raging Bull? I heared he was pretty good, I can imagine him being a tough ****

 

Nate Robinson of the NY Knicks, despite not knowing who Larry Holmes was and having a little peanut sized noggin, could've probably been a 154-160 in another universe. The little guy has a lot of explosive power and is like a bulldog in there (at least back when I saw him regularly in HS and college).

 

Mark whalberg, he was always a tough kid form the streets of Boston. I heard he ****ed up a sparring partner pretty bad training for his new boxing movie coming out later this year.

 

rafael nadal of spain

i think he would of fitted to the pro game pretty well.
6ft1
163 pounds

has fast hands, very quick feet ,good reactions, and i think that most of his shots could be transfered to the elegent art of self defence.

Steve Redgrave

Jaap Stam

Gordon Strachan

 

Max Kellerman

 

George Foreman, he looks quite tough considering he only sells grills. :yep

 

Vladimir Putin. You just know that guy means business. He would be evil in the ring.

 

I have allways felt that Tenis and boxing have a lot in common. The need for good footwork, quick reactions, and the abillity to use both hands.
Also I beleve that Andri Agassi's father was an olympic boxer from Iran.

 

I would like to think he would make a better boxer than a basketball playeratsch

 

Nfl players who could make good boxers - Ray Lewis and Brian Urlacher - supreme athletes who are strong,fast and tough

 

shaq ( not shaq now, tornado dunk on arvydas sabonis shaq)
dwight howard
ron artest
Nate robinson

probably a bunch of hockey players... i dont know much about hockey

Can you imagine if Dwight Howard took up boxing instead of basketball?.. jesus.. I mean if a big plodding freak like Valuev can string together 40 wins a row, imagine a guy as tall as Valuev with the athleticism of a Roy Jones Jr. And that wingspan of Dwight's is just insane.. I think the guy has a 90 inch reach!

Insane to imagine him in the ring..
