Tyson is an experienced fighter... Shaq is a ball player. Neither would be in the business if they were to trade jobs, so when it comes to fighting, it's Tyson all the way.

Kind of a dumb question. Shaq would get his ass kicked. Why? Because Tyson is a profession boxer.

Another dumb question. Who would win in a 1 on 1 basketball game: Mike Tyson vs Shaq? Tyson would get beat 100-0. Why? Because Shaq is a professional basketball player.

<< Street fights are a lot different than boxing matches. It'd be interestin to see who'd win an all out brawl between them 2. >>



Tyson is a street thug. Dude grew up street fighting. He'd send Shaq home to his momma.

as much of a lakers/Shaq fan I am... I still have to go with Tyson in a fight... Shaq is tall and big.... tyson is short and muscular.

I'd bet money Shaq doesn't have the coordination to match someone up close like Tyson.


Tyson would close the distance, get within Shaqs reach, and finish him in seconds.


Not to mention, Tyson can take hits and not blink for 5 rounds. Shaq rarely gets it in the mouth. Ok, stop with the dirty thoughts there.

Tyson wouldn't just rock his world, he'd devour it. Size doesn't matter danielson!


Now the real question, take a couple of hardass fighters. A billy blanks guy and a Tyson guy. Who'd win (in their prime, billy is almost 50!)

Martial arts VS boxing... Which training is tougher?

there are more rules in boxing than in most martial arts. rules=restrictive, so works to the fighters disadvantage. but dont forget iron mike was a fighter first boxer second

Well considering that Tyson would probably let Shaq have some &quot;free throws&quot; (get it, free throws :p), Shaq would probably miss most of them and then get knocked out by a &quot;3 pointer&quot; combination........errr I mean 3 punch combination. Tyson all the way. :D

Wrong, because Iverson would be able to avoid Tyson's power with his speed. And he would out point Tyson to a decision because he would throw more &quot;shots&quot;. :p

dude.. Shaq will win! In a real fight, size does matter... this isn't going to be in a ring right?.. by fight you mean if they see each other and just instantously hate each other's guts.

plus Shaq has been able to stay alive with all the &quot;hack a shaq&quot; that the nba has given him

Shaq (or as we lovingly refer to him around here) &quot;The big Tub 'o Goo&quot;, has a body fat percentage of 4%?? *cough*bullsh!t*cough*.. ;)

Tyson's too damn fast and psychotic for Shaq...

Since Shaq's groin area is at Tysons head level, and since Tyson has exhibited a tendency when he's losing badly to

Yeah, size would matter if neither of them knew how to fight... but boxing and martial arts is the great equalizer, and in this case, Shaq would be down within 10 secs. A single hit from Mike's fist(since it's not in gloves), will put Shaq on the ground whether he hits him in the chin, kidneys, stomach, or even shoulders.
