    How would Shaq O'neil fare as a boxer in the 60's

    I don't know I look at guys like Terrell and think a more athletic much bigger Shaq would fare better even more than past prime Liston.How would guys like cooper and folley handle shaq if he was properly trained?Would he be alis best opponent in that era?

    He'd make for a terrible boxer. He was very immature at times, wouldn't listen to his coaches and training staff. At times, he was overweight too.

    He also made some very dumb decisions while playing the shotcaller for his team. That's why he always had to play with someone to make the calls for him. He wasn't a leader.

      Boxings not a team sport,its only really a tag team...the boxer and head trainer...he would have no choice but to listen.

        He would suck as bad as his movie Shazam in boxing.

          Maybe but again you are not reading...the 60's era...Terrell was nothing really special a natural 200 pounder or so with lunging movements,so why not Shaq?Terrell went 15 rounds with ali.

                  Wouldn't surprise me ,shaq is extremely strong trust me I know on a personal level.....but don't see him winning that one.
