Love Kuechly, but if he lays down on his bed too hard, he's gonna get a concussion.View attachment 397311
Luke Kuechly
6-3 245 lb
Top tier speed and quickness.
Above average toughness and highest level player IQ along with work ethic.

Bo Jackson. It's very possible he's the greatest athlete to ever live.
Bo Jackson was a close third choice.
you either have it or you don't. Can't teach instinct.A natural at muay thai.
Allen Iverson would have been the GOAT welterweight
Iverson has never weighed 170 in his life. He was pretty lean so idk if he makes FW but he’s a LW at max. There are some people who think he would be the greatest American soccer player ever if he concentrated on it. And people from Virginia will swear he was a better football player than Mike Vick (who grew up in the same area)
One of the greatest athletes I’ve ever seen, quickness and coordination absolutely off the charts
Stephen Jackson probably could have been a fighter too, since your gif made me think about it. That Pacers team was full of athletes with natural fighter's mentality.you either have it or you don't. Can't teach instinct.
What’s awesome is that his body type is pretty similar to max Holloway, who comes absolutely nowhere near AI in athletic ability. Teach Iverson to punch and he lands a 1-2 and is outta there before anyone could touch him.MMA has never seen an athlete of his caliber, and likely never will. He'd run rings around these jokers.
He would have been amazing at it.
Imagine if there was some money in this "sport." Seeing real athletes trying to beat the shit out of each other would be entertaining as fuck.Stephen Jackson probably could have been a fighter too, since your gif made me think about it.

Funny thing about that while situation is that started with Ben Wallace and Ron Artest getting into an altercation. That's why Artest was lying on the scorer's table in the first place. He was trying to get away from Wallace who the refs were trying to calm down.you either have it or you don't. Can't teach instinct.
Wallace is another guy who would have been a scary fighter. Dude's reach is so long he could hit you from half way across the cage.Funny thing about that while situation is that started with Ben Wallace and Ron Artest getting into an altercation.

Ron Artest wanted nothing to do with Ben Wallace who was looking to fight Artest.
But when the random fan threw something at Artest he was ready to start WW3 over it.
Look at my list. It's one of the earlier ones in the thread.Wallace is another guy who would have been a scary fighter. Dude's reach is so long he could hit you from half way across the cage.
Maybe it was just something about the players in the league at that time? They all had attitudes that were meant for fighting.
Do we know what his reach is? I never heard a length, but I remember hearing that it was longer than his height by several inches.Look at my list. It's one of the earlier ones in the thread.
I definitely have Ben Wallace on the list.
Can't find it but I found a scouting report that called him 6'8 with an average wingspan. What an average wingspan to a person who's 6'8?Do we know what his reach is? I never heard a length, but I remember hearing that it was longer than his height by several inches.
He liked guns. Not much of a fighter.
Hmm. Maybe I'm thinking of someone else then. I'd have sworn it was Wallace, but this has probably 15 years ago. I haven't watched the league with any regularity in a long, long time. Still, nasty player and would have probably been a fine fighter if he had trained.Can't find it but I found a scouting report that called him 6'8 with an average wingspan.

84 inches is 7ft.
Wtf. Jones is 6'4 with a 7ft wingspan. That's crazy. Might as well be cheating with that. "Equal" playing field my ass.
