What kind of heavyweight would Lebron James have been '''

[LukeH]

I heard this on an NBA pre-game show, so I think I'm quoting Charles Barkley: "No basketball player knows how to fight."

Haha, makes sense it's a muscle memory thing. Same with soccer or any finesse sport, when you react to keep your hands away from peoples faces instinctively you won't be much good in a scrap.

Obviously Lebron is a pure monster, to many intangibles in boxing or MMA to say anyone would've been half decent just based on general "athleticism" though. I'm not an NFL fan, but Id say it's more likely Ray Lewis or somebody like that could have had a career fighting, just because we know how tough they are.

I dont think its a muscle memory thing, some people just have a more natural fluidity in different movements, Lebron is a freak athlete but theres no evidence to suggest he can throw punches, Obviously you can train a bit, but if it's not at all natural it aint happening. TBH he looks downright awkward on the basketball court sometimes anyway.

He's also shown himself to be abit of a mental midget on numerous occassions.
