    But we'll never see the best basketball athletes of size compete in boxing so Wilder is only going to be a guesstimation. Therefore, it will be another topic that will turn into an argument without resolution.

    It's an IMPOSSIBLE question because, like mentioned above, there's so much more that goes into it. We've seen a million big and tall guys in boxing who have been completely mediocre, having no chin, stamina or heart.

    I think if you're speaking strictly from an athletic standpoint, the mold of the typical NBA player (tall, athletic, long reach, fast feet, ect) would be great for boxing, but they'd have to have the correct training from a young age like anyone else, and they'd need the other intangibles (heart, chin, ect).

    If you're talking about current NBA players with no boxing experience making the jump over… forget about it.

    Other athletes have tried boxing and most if not all have failed to be world class.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Tim Hardaway might have been a decent boxer. I once saw him throwing bombs on shawn kemp and fuckin him up. His form was ok from what I remember.

    I believe Kemp tried to eat him.

    I don't remember the details because it was in the 90s but they got into it and Hardaway knocked him down. Then he jumped on top of a helpless kemp and threw mad combinations in good form.

    This was back in the days when NBA players got into real fights unlike the pussies who gets into shoving matches we see today.

    Pretty hardcore bruh. It was pathetic cuz kemp was so much bigger than him too.

    I've seen Hardaway throw down couple times and he was a little scrapper.
