Shaq Picks the Biggest Fight in History

Posted Jun 17th 2009 3:16PM by TMZ Staff

The phrase "pick on someone your own size" has never been truer -- as Shaquille O'Neal (7'1" 330 pounds) just challenged massive MMA fighter Hong Man Choi (7'2" 330 pounds) to a no-holds-barred fist fight.

Shaq shot this video calling out the giant after a recent training session -- and according to the clip, it seems like the challenge could be legit.

Hong's the guy who made Jose Canseco his mini-bitch back in May ... but really, is that an accomplishment?

32. I don;t know a thing about this fight thing but I will wager Shaq gets his butt kicked. Wish I had something to bet with.

33. Shaq will get crushed just like every other athlete that has tried MMA. Ask Johnnie Morton!

34. Snaq would get his ass beat. Don't do it Snaq. You couldn't even beat up Charles Barkley.

36. "At least four years now. Shaq is just as big, more athletic, more coordinated and in better condition. If Choi can't handle somebody with legitimate MMA training that's half his size, how will he ever handle somebody with legitimate MMA training that's just as big as him?"

Huh? If you're talking about Fedor you know nothing about MMA. Yeah Fedor would pretty much demolish any 7 ft 300lbs person anywhere on earth in MMA.
Yeah Shaq has been training MMA for a few years, the same way Jay Glazer trained Matt Leinart. They are doing the conditioning of MMA fighters, more power to them, it will get you in a different kind of shape. But if you think for a second that Shaq has done anything outside of some light sparring and a friendly roll you're crazy. No one paying him millions to be playing another sport would let him do it and I bet it's in his contract. Choi on the other hand has been probably been kickboxing for a decade and has been doing full contact and has actually fought inside a ring.
