Nobody in the NFL takes more hits from the fans and media than Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. 

But no matter what anybody says, Romo always gets up and keeps fighting. 

We know he can also golf and play soccer, but one boxing legend says he'd be great in the ring.

"I think Tony Romo would be a great boxer," Oscar De La Hoya told USA Today's For the Win. "First of all, because he would capture that female audience, you know, in being a good looking guy ... so the women would love him. 

"And then, he obviously has heart. He has heart and he's a great athlete so you put that together with him having the good looks and that fighting spirit, he would have been a terrific fighter."

Romo has shown more fight in him this season so far than ever before as the Cowboys are off to a surprising 3-1 start.
