A few Mis-Conception's people tend to have when talking boxing

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Another misconception, lots of people think that a good NFL or NBA athlete would have become a great HW champion if they took up boxing instead, the reasoning of these people are that NBA/NFL athletes are big and athletic, thus they would be great HW champions is their conclusion

I wouldn't necessarily call it a misconception though.

While it is obviously true that any fighter has too first a) take a dig and b) be able learn his new trade... I would agree with the concept that with regards to attributes such as height, weight, stamina, speed & reflexes, these modern day athletes have bodies that are in a much more suitable condition to perform against the super heavyweights of today and could be much more than just Super-sized Mikkel Kesslers (no disrespect )

I agree with the posting and I believe that true re words were never said when some experts borrowed a quotation and applied it to boxing,"You are only as good as your last fight." By the way, I read somewhere that Ernie Terrell was a basketball player that made his way to a title fight with Ali. It was the "What's my name" theme. It was humiliating though.

Yeah Ali was hardly a 'Supersized Kessler'
Matter of fact, last I heard, Ernie Tyrell wasn't exactly Kobe Bryant either!
