Not necessarily a boxer. So I said this is too easy and I named Lebron James who is 6' 8" 255 pounds along with many other heavyweights. By heavyweight standards the Klitshkos are no where near top of athleticism. They are not athletic. That was my point. Who said anything about Lebron outboxing anyone And its a moot point to ponder if Lebron grew up boxing. He would definitely have the most athleticism that heavyweight boxing has ever seen. You can't measure chin or heart. We'd have to see. But Lebron, Ray Lewis, and many other heavyweights would have the Klitschkos easily outbeat in athleticism. But in boxing we all know there are more factors. We don't know if they have the more unless they grew into the sport. Boxing is a specialist sport and no athlete is going to come in as a 20 something year old and beat a Klitschko. Lets be real and not spin things.
    The Klitchkos are more athletic than you think. Vitali was a kickboxing champion. There are different types of athleticism. What makes you think Lebron is more athletic than Wladimir? Cause he can jump higher? ESPN ranked boxing as the toughest sport to compete in, so you are saying an athlete from a lesser sport could have dominated?
    Are you really serious about comparing Lebron's athleticism to Wladimir Klitschkos? You know there are tests to athletic abilities. Lebron can run a 4.3 40, has a 40+ vertical, is much quicker, more agile, etc. The list goes on. Lebron was All State in Basketball and Football. The guy could be a phenom in 3 or 4 sports that are nothing alike. What does Wlad do that makes you even argue he is more athletic than Lebron? Give me something. And as far as ESPN ranking boxing as the hardest sport. Well, Ray Mercer said that MMA training was harder than boxing. While I like boxing more, I wrestled and boxed for many years and I know certainly that wrestling is harder and requires more athleticism. I only trained MMA, never competed, but the training is easily tougher.
