Op Ed: Covington is a MAGAt and all MAGAts are enemies of America and the free world. Covington is a racist and all racists are enemies of the free world. LeBron is a good person and Covington is a death deserving scumbag. Seeing LeBron pummel and pummel and pummel Covington with fists, feet and knees until Covington skull is fractured and his atlas bone is slammed into his upper spinal cord is what America needs right now after 4 years of Trump.
Can Lebron beat this punk in the cage? That would depend on LeBron. Lebron's fitness level is close to Covington's. Lebron is much stronger. LeBron is a superior athlete. The only problem for Lebron would be his skill set. LeBron is 6'9" and 250lbs compared to 5"11" and 170 pounds for Covington. Big George Foreman fight at 6'4" and 260 pounds.Tyson Fury fought at 6'9" and 254 pounds.
Given LeBron's athleticism, he could probably learn the wrestling and boxing skills required to destroy Covington in under 2 years. MMA training could probably improve his basketball skills.
As it stands now, Lebron's best chance would be to tie up Covinington and deliver knees to his solar plexis and ribs hopefully collapsing his lungs. I would like to see LeBron hit him with a deadly heart punch breaking his sternum and stopping his heart. During a Rocky fight scene, actor Dolph Lundgren hit Sylvester Stallone so hard in the chest that it nearly killed Stallone. If LeBron has the punching power of a George Foreman or an Ernie Shavers he could kill Covington.
LeBron probably won't fight Covington anytime soon because he doesn't want to give Covington the publicity but LeBron eventually decides to fight this punk, Lebron will be ready and well trained because unlike Covington, Lebron is smart.
Colby Covington calls out LeBron James after Jake Paul's knockout of Nate Robinson
Watching YouTuber Jake Paul knock out former New York Knicks guard Nate Robinson in a boxing match gave MMA fighter Colby Covington an idea. Two days after that fight, Covington called out Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James.
Covington said he could knock out James in half the time it took Paul to take down Robinson. Covington also took a shot at NBA players, calling them the “softest and most privileged athletes on the planet.”
It took Paul a round and a half to knock out Robinson. While the fight elicited a ton of reactions from NBA stars and other athletes, very few of those reactions were positive. The fight was mostly considered a joke.
LeBron James isn’t going to fight Colby Covington
Covington may think he can goad James into a fight, but there’s no way that’s going to happen. James is still an active NBA superstar, and will maintain legendary status far after he retires from the league. James won’t need to participate in a celebrity boxing match for publicity when his career ends. While Robinson had a long NBA career, he was nowhere near James’ level.
It would also be a terrible decision for James to take that fight. Covington is a longtime UFC fighter. He’s gone 16-2 with the organization and has held the welterweight title. James is a tremendous athlete, and would have a significant height advantage, but a lack of boxing experience is what led to Robinson’s downfall. Even against Paul, who is far from a professional fighter, Robinson’s lack of experience made a huge impact on the fight. MMA and boxing are two different things, but one would assume Covington would have a massive advantage due to his fighting experience.
This is nothing new from Colby Covington
Covington’s barb about NBA players being soft and privileged is nothing new for the fighter. Covington has railed against Black Lives Matter in the past, calling people who participate in the movement “terrorists.” The NBA embraced Black Lives Matter in 2020, putting the phrase on its court. A number of NBA players wore “Black Lives Matter” on their jerseys, or wore the phrase on shirts before games.
Covington is also a big fan of President Donald Trump, who has criticized the NBA and its declining viewership in 2020. Covington — who has met with and spoken to Trump a number of times — may feel he’s supporting Trump by calling out one of the NBA’s biggest stars. James has criticized Trump in the past, and once called Trump a “bum” on Twitter.
Some MMA fighters have expressed frustration with Covington in the past, calling some of Covington’s comments “flat-out racist.” Even Reebok — which provides uniforms for UFC — distanced itself from Covington in the past.

If you support Trump you deserve cancer.
