Tom Zbikowski, 25, was promoting his upcoming bout on "The Dan Patrick Show" on FOX Sports Radio on Monday when he was asked which fellow NFL player he would like to fight. He could have cited union solidarity and deflected the question, but he hesitated only momentarily before providing an opponent:
Receiver Chad Ochocinco.
"Ochocinco talks like he can box," Zbikowski told Patrick.
And how long would such a bout last?
"I'd let it go for about 45 seconds," Zbikowski said. "I'd let him know what a real jab feels like."
More accustomed to Twitter jabs, that's where Ochocinco responded. His tweet: "@tommyzbikowski you wana go nite nite, you want to box me, for 1 your feet are to slow and you've no hand speed to even be competitive"
So many things to get to here. First off lets all agree that 'the can't miss kid', just missed. Coming out of Buffalo Grove, Zbikowski was the next great white prep hype. But like I was saying at the time, he was too white and wouldn't hack it in the pros. Instead I knew he was destined to go the way of other white area high school stars like Tommy Kleinschmidt, Jon Beutjer, and Ryan Hogan.
Secondly, Zbikowski is an accomplished amateur boxer, so a bout with Chad definitely wouldn't last long. Skrawny black guys not named Sugar Ray have no business getting in the ring. But I would bet Chad would make this bout entertaining.
Even dance into the ring like this guy..........
