Ok, so heres the mock draft. Pick an athlete from any sport that you think you could turn into a top boxer.
Ill take this guy: Leander Jordan
6-foot-3, 320-pound offensive guard from IUP
He ran the 40 in 5.3 seconds, bench-pressed 225 pounds 25 times, had a 31-inch vertical jump and a 9-foot, 11-inch broad jump. And for good measure, he dunked a basketball after the workouts.

Bruce Lee
Chaunce Billups, he is just a Strong guy with a lot of stamina.
Wayne Rooney
He doesn't even have the discpline for football... ;)
vinni jones ;)
Dublin Gaelic footballer Johnny Magee gave snooker player Quinten Hann a good beating
in a charity fight!
Michael Johnson,Heile Gabresellasie and Roger Federer. Fed has great balance,he would make for an awesome boxer!
Chuck Liddel
Oh and brock Lesnar!! ;D
Bas Rutten , Just seems very athletic, dedicated , and coordinated.
From non combat sports... hmmm, Venus Williams :P ?
hell yeh, here comes the pain.Quote:

Lee Bowyer showed his fighting ways last season with Kieron Dyer, and he does have a lot of heart and determination. He'd also be good at winding up his opposition, which he does so well on the footie field.
Croatian tennis player Ivo Karlovic would have good reach and height advantage, but he's pretty skinny, so I imagine he'd be the tallest light-heavy/cruiser around.
And finally, the man I would most like to see in a boxing ring would have to be Craig Bellamy. If he wins, he's Welsh and I'd have another fighter to put my support behind, but he can be a bit arrogant and lippy, so if he took a beating it might shut him up a little!
also i wouldnt mind seeing peter crouch in the ring,
also i would love to seefloyd mayweather beat on christiano ronaldo! :)
Why because he pulls that stupid face that makes him look like he's constipated and pushing out a huge dump? :PQuote:

Jonah Lomu.

Tie Domi would have been a made for TV fighter

Kendall Gill. He's already started
Iverson IMO is a good enough athlete that if he started boxing as a kid I think he'd be a World Champion by now. Toughest and quickest guy in the NBA plus was an all-state QB and Safety in high school.
Ben Wallace
Yes Lawrence Taylor!!!! My favorite defender and Giant of alltime #56 :coolclick: backQuote:

I'd take Serena Williams. What an behind on that broad:lickish:. I'd train her just right to be a finely tuned female boxer. We'd workout at night, making sure we used the benfit of training on the beach.
Or I'd take Ali's daughter. I bet that girl can fight :lickish:.
;)
NHLer Donald Brashear. Great balance, size, and conditioning.
Mention What?? :wisesmilie: I aint heard shatQuote:

Terrell Owens hands down
...I WISH T.O. boxed, I would whip his punk ass back to the stoneage!
Julius Peppers, he's fucking impressive 6'7 285 runs like a 4.4 40 yd dash, he can dunk a basketball and he's just strong as hell
Yes Lyle, we all believe you'd whip T.O. :)
Peppers, never even thought of him. Powerful as hell, tall as a tree BUT has good agility from his days playing basketball at the university of north carolina. good pick. cc!Quote:
