The Fight Club

[ziggy]

This will be a running thread to argue, debate and possibly answer the question

"Who would win in a fight?"

Feel free to present your own matchups if you'd like.

My first matchup Shaquille O'Neal -vs- Anderson Silva




Shaq is bigger, stronger and still incredibly athletic at 36 years old plus he probably outweighs Silva by a good 170 pounds.
On the other hand, Silva has proven himself to be the most dominant martial artist on the planet in a long, long time. But could he overcome Shaq's power and size advantage?

Discuss.

Umm yeah no-brainer..Silva because he is trained in Martial Arts..Shaq is trained in dunking. Watching that video I'd rather not be the one in the octagon with Silva...

Silva

Sean May vs. Japanese Sumo?

[BETCATS]

Alien v Predator?

I'm not 100% sold that Silva could take him out. Some of those punches and kicks that are devastating at 180 pounds might not have the same effect to a dude thats 350.

You want to know something that's amazing to me? Shaq is listed at a Svelte 325 now. Lebron is supposed to weigh 28-290. That's only a 30 pound difference.... Look at the difference in body types?


BTW I would still take Silva over Shaq, but if O'Neal gets ahold of him.. its over

I don't see LeBron listed anywhere over 250

and Shaq looks more like 340...

2:24-2:50. "250+"


My point is, they're both undermeasured in the weight category.. and while:

Shaq may weigh 340, he's also 7'1/7'2.That's 85 inches. So thats around 4lb/inch.

Now LeBron is 6'8. Lets Say 270-280lb. (which is about 3.5lb/inch.)




Okay no more math mumbo jumbo Shaq is considered to be fat or overweight. But LeBron is right on his lb/inch scale so I'm basically saying LeBron is a HUGE DUDE

Oh LeBron is for sure a beast. No doubt about that. I was just saying if you're gonna use Shaq's "list price" you have to use LeBron's too. But it'd be a good fight

If Shaq could get a hold of him, that would be all she wrote.
