Shaquille O'Neal: I would have beaten Oscar's ass if I did not hold back.

[Real King Kong]

Imagine getting beaten by someone less than half your weight and over a foot shorter...trained or not.

[KTFOKING]

Prime athletic Orlando Magic puts HANDS all over Oscar!!!!!

[Mushashi]

DLH's a trained boxer and a very good one at that, HOF. Of course if Oscar put hands on Shaq for real, in a do or die situation he would be the only man standing

[juggernaut666]

He may not even lay a glove on Oscar, but Shaq’s sheer size, trained or not, is enough to put almost anyone’s lights out. The man’s fist is about the size of DLH’s head. And all that weight behind a punch creates a lot of force, regardless.

I gripped up with Shaq back in the day I can vouch for that ,he’s extremely strong . I’m the only one on here that went head to head against him in a direct strength contest .

My money would be on Shaq. Sure, Shaq throws punches like a big sissy but he's a really really big sissy. Plus I don't think Oscar could do anything that would hurt Shaq. A couple weeks training to work on some sort of jab and I'm thinking that would do it. Size matters, a lot.



Imagine taking a jab from a fist like that even if you had your guard up.

Lol you guys must have never seen the video of them sparring. Shaq was tagging Oscar at will and had Oscar exhausted. Shaq would literally kill coke head Oscar if he truly wanted to.

[CubanGuyNYC]

I'm not so sure about that. Being trained makes a huge difference. Otherwise you're gonna get tagged all night.

Well, that’s what I’m saying. Shaq may not lay a glove on DLH, but if he did...

No shit? I thought I was the only one! Haha

Shaq has trained casually in boxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and freestyle wrestling since 2000. He's obviously nowhere close to professional level but 20 years of casual combat sports training and his sheer size and athleticism have to count for something.

[PRINCEKOOL]

Let's be real.

If Shaq used all his strength, he would've brought his cannonball-sized fists down on Oscar's little head like John Henry hammering in a railroad spike. He would've bludgeoned him into unconsciousness.

Mariusz Pudzianowski was the worlds strongest man, but even still all of that strength did not translate into immense punching power etc Shaquille O'Neal was a basketball player, apart from running up and down a basketball court & dunking on a net which 'He was nearly the same height as' O'Neal has not really achieve any great athletic feats.

Inside of a boxing ring in a real fight, Oscar De La Hoya would of just went to the body and probably broken his ribs 'After taking him into deep water'.
