boxing/basketball comparisons!!

[butterfly1964]

YOUR TOTALLY OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND, SAYING BASKETBALL PLAYERS CAN COMPARE TO BOXERS ESPECIALLY IN TRAINING AND BEING IN SHAPE. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A BASKETBALL PLAYER LOOK AS IN SHAPE AS ROY JONES OR MANNY PACQUIO? THE ANSWER IS NO, KOBES WORKOUT MAY BE TOUGH BUT NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE HOUR OF HARDCORE TRAINING THEY PUT IN DAY IN AND DAY OUT MONTHS A TIME FOR 1 FIGHT WHERE B-BALL PLAYERS WILL GO PRACTICE FOR A FEW HOURS ONCE EVERY FEW DAYS TO PLAY 3 GAMES IN A ROW. HUG DIFFERENCE MY FRIEND HUGE DIFFERENCE. FURTHERMORE BOXERS DONT FALL ON THE GROUND AND ACT HURT WHEN THEY ARE NOT LIKE 95% OF BASKETBALL PLAYERS DO WHEN THEY ARE TRYING TO GET A FOUL CALLED THEN 2 MINUTES LATER THEY ARE UP AND ALRIGHT. BOXERS ARE IN 10 X BETTER SHAPE THAN ANY BASKETBALL PLAYER ON EARTH I DONT CARE WHO THE PLAYER.

i believe that you can compare some boxers and their careers to basketball players and their careers. if you don't know what i'm talking about, then i'll give you an example.

boxer: muhammad "the greatest" ali

compared to

b-ball player: michael "air" jordan

comparison: both are condered by most as the greatest of all times in their sport, they both had three careers, ali's was '60-'67, '70-'78, and '80-'81. jordan was '84-'93, '95-'98, and '01-'03. both of their first careers were extremely dominant, and they blasted all the competition with their great speed and natural skill. ali had his dancing, and shuffles and quick combos, jordan had impeccable handle, gravity defying dunks, and quick crossovers. their first careers both ended prematurely when they were still in their primes. in their second careers, they both slowed down a bit, but they adapted and still found a way to achieve greatness, ali added the rope-a-dope to his arsenal, and still became champ, and jordan added a fade-away jumper to his arsenal, and won three more titles. their second retirement were more anticipated than the first. but they missed competiton and both came back a third time, but they were way over the hill, and couldn't win anything, and it might have tarnished their legacy a bit. however, they are both still recognized as probaly the top two athletes ever! so they are extremely alike!

i'll be comparing more boxers and basketball players in this thread! hope you like them as well as the one i just did.

- -Wilt coulda grabbed up Ali and Mikey and slam dunked one after the other with a single leap.

Melted Ali like a snowcone tossed on a summer sidewalk on ABC in 67.

He'd melt prime Jordan in his famed BB cutting sessions in his 40s he used to hold. Jordy just a toddler then not eligible and unable to carry Wilts jockstrap to this day!
