Tom Zibikowski from the Ravens is the only real boxer in the NFL.  Undefeated as a Pro.

He'll fold like a tent as soon as he fights somebody that will push him to his cardiovascular limit at 6'6 260 +

He'll be matched against guys half his size to limit that possibility also.

I wish him well and credit him for getting in there if it's his dream.

I don't think cardio will be the problem more like his lack of amateur background, he will do well with C level fighters ,he  trains at the same gym I do  his defense isn't there yet and I don't  think  it will be there anytime soon.

LOL i was going to mention him, it was revealed that some of his fights were fixes as they were trying to build his record so he could get a money fight with George Foreman. Alonzo Highsmith from the NFL beat Gastineau in his last fight.

you sound like emmanual stewart, he always gets excited when he sees a fighter has an extensive am background. i think it my be true to a point but sometimes those guys are just burnt out.

Agreed about him looking good against C-level fighters and his lack of amateur experience.  I'm curious to know the records of the fighters he's beat that are allegedly making him look like Ali or Tyson.
