While I'm a HUGE NE Patriots and Brady fan, I'd have to say that, on paper, Manning wins this. I'm sure that neither could box well at all. That said, this boils down to strength. Both are in great condition but I'm betting that Manny can take Brady's best punch better than Brady can take his.
.
Now, if both were to actually train as boxers for, say, six months, I'd give this to Tom Brady. Here's why.
.
Tom Brady reminds me of Sugar Ray Leonard. Sounds crazy? It should because there are very few similarities between the two. However, here is one of the few. During their primes, Men hated both guys. Why, because their wives loved both guys.
.
What does this have to do with anything? Neither looks like he should be able to do the things he does. But both did it as well as anyone and better than most.
.
Without going into too much detail, you have to go back to Leonard vs Hearns 1 and ask yourself HOW Leonard was able to DO what he did in round 13. Losing on all cards, Ray NEVER gave up. Neither does Tom Brady.
.
Payton Manning is likely the smartest man in all of football. He has the ability to prepare for most anything that is likely to happen on the field and he has answers for them. The difference is that, while Brady might be second to Manning in football intelligence, he surpasses Manning in the "X-factor". Brady thinks better on his feet and FINDS ways out of tough spots.
.
Haters will hate but anyone who knows anything about football MUST give Brady credit for this. He has the ability to make those around him into better players and to "Fix" things when things aren't working.
.
Forget all the crap about Spy-Gate. That didn't make a damn big of difference as that happened in game TWO and Brady and the Patriots still went 18-0, losing on questionable circumstances to Payton-lite and the hapless Giants.
.
As they are, I think Manning wins because he is just a bit bigger and stronger and both are about as far from boxers as an NFL player can be. However, if both have some training, Brady paces himself just as well and turns on that "Something" (normal people just don't have it).
.
With Payton Manning leading on points, Tom Brady comes from behind and pulls out the win....................by stoppage.
Peyton Manning.
Manning in his prime had an absolute rocket of an arm and could fit a ball anywhere. Manning in his prime might just be the best QB ever.
Peyton Manning hands down.
are you kidding tom brady would run home in his uggs carry his baby goat. but no matter what the real winner is Brady because he gets to go home to Giselle
Prime-vs-Prime?
