Something fun to talk about-Did any1 watch Shaq vs. De la hoya the other night?? Very interesting...IMO- It was like an Ogre against a hobbit(although Oscar is NO Hobbit). I wished Shaq would have given it his all(unless that was his ALL) to see an interesting knockdown or something but, he would probably have just knocked him down with 1 good hard punch. You can't compare the speed of Oscar and Shaq, nor size(putting it lightly). Then again, there's no reason to knock the piss out of the retired GoldenBoy. Oscar gave Shaq a good run 4 his money. It was all for fun. They probably wanted a clean fun fight for audiences. I'm not sure...they made it as interesting as it could be despite the size difference. Although de la hoya outboxed him(no questions asked) and did some great body work and great shots to the head with great force, considering he had to jump to reach the 7'1'' ogre. Obviously he won....but when Shaq had De la hoya in that corner(poor fella) it seemed as tho Oscar couldn't do shi*t -due 2 size(seemed very unfair). That was asking too much from the GoldenBoy. I didn't understand why they didn't have him against one of the Klitschko's or atleast someone his own size(just 2 make it more fair)? I also heard they asked Pretty Boy Floyd-but he's a lil busy at the moment ;D. The size difference was insane. Not fair whatsoever...but fun too watch.I just thought this might be a fun topic to talk about....if anyone watched? Any1 think Shaq would have made an ok Heavyweight back in the day If he trained properly that is. His reach is like 90 inches if I remember correctly. Like I said, it was all for fun. I just wanted to see what other people's opinions were. If it's even worth starting a thread about
