Everyone wants a piece of Tom Zbikowski. Check that — everyone wants to act like they want a piece of him. Football players hate the thought that they would lose a fight to someone or that there is someone out there that’s tougher than them. Last month, it was Chad Ochocinco running his mouth (what else is new) and challenging Zbikowski, a professional boxer, to a fight. Now, teammate Ray Lewis is getting in on the act.
Lewis told the NFL Network, via Pro Football Talk, that he would win a fight against Zbikowski hands down because of their weight differences. In fact, he said it has been discussed in the locker room before and Tommy agrees with him.
“Zbikowski would lose,” Lewis said. “We’ve already talked about that. Zbikowski is a realist when it comes to the sport. The locker room talk is always that about who can beat who. He’ll be the first to tell you he’s not going to get in the ring with a 250-pound person. That’s crazy!”
No doubt Lewis could do some damage if he landed a haymaker or two, but let’s not forget Zbikowski is a legit boxer who is 3-0 in his career and 2-0 since the lockout. He’s also scheduled to fight again in two weeks. My guess is he would find a way to beat Lewis. Considering he has a legitimate career going in the sport, there’s probably no need to waste his time trying.
