Hayden Panettiere Has Two Movies Debuting, But Maybe Boxing WAG Should Stick to Sports Movies

Boxing WAG Hayden Panettiere remains one of the sexiest WAGs in all of sports. The blonde bombshell has been bringing the smolder in a big way for years now, and at just 21 years old, she figures to keep bringing the smolder for years to come.

But, the long-term girlfriend of boxer Wladimir Klitschko has one tiny little weakness: she can't seem to make a decent movie. Most of her recent outings into the world of film have not gone over well (Scream 4 is solid, but not spectacular), and her career as an actress has been a bit disappointing.

Fortunately for her, there's a solution: go back to doing sports movies. For those who don't remember, this blonde bombshell was once the precocious coach's daughter in Remember the Titans, a role she filled perfectly. While that was her only sports movie to date, she shone in it, and proved herself as a potential go-to girl for the genre.

On top of that, there's Heroes, the former NBC drama surrounding the lives of normal people who had superpowers. While it wasn't a sports movie persay, Panettiere stole the show as the cheerleader Claire Bennet. She's even dating an athlete in real life, and things are going swimmingly there, to boot.

See? When Panettiere strays from a tie to sports, her performances wane, lacking the vigor that makes her one of Hollywood's brightest young starlets. But, when she's tied to sports, either through the movie itself or through her character, she delivers performances worthy of one of the most promising young actresses in the business.

It may just be a theory, but if she shows up and brings the smolder in a new sports movie, are you really going to complain?

I didn't think so.
