Comments on: SHAQ CALLS OUT HONG MAN CHOI http://chicagosmma.com/2009/06/shaq-calls-out-hong-man-choi/ The Definitive Source for MMA In and Around Chicago Sun, 20 May 2012 21:33:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: LJ http://chicagosmma.com/2009/06/shaq-calls-out-hong-man-choi/comment-page-1/#comment-2852 LJ Sat, 14 Aug 2010 20:25:21 +0000 http://chicagosmma.com/?p=1999#comment-2852 Ick, just saw Shaq box w/ Shane Mosely on his show. Despite ridiculous reach... Shaq CANNOT box. He may be 10x better w/ BJJ than standup, but I need to see if he can do two things: 1) Sprawl- If I were a wrestler I'd be salivating at the chance to shoot in on those longggg legs of his and put him on his back. 2) His takedowns- His length makes it easier for him to pull opponents into a clinch, while I don't think he needs to worry about developing a world-class double or single TD, what about trip takedowns Gracie-style? Also, in thoery he should be able to snapdown anyone from clinch. *Of course this is all theoretical talk* Shaqs not going to fight MMA, although I like to see him do nogi against someone like Josh Barnett, Roy Nelson or even Wes "The Project" Simms.

But I think Shaq is just having fun here. Unless they both run around the cage in circles, I give them each less than 10 seconds against Chuck. But I think Shaq is just having fun here.

Choi has proven that being big has nothing to do with being a good fighter. His recent victory over Jose was the only victory that he has had in the past year & a half. As bad of a fighter as he is, the Korean TV & commercials. Like Shaq, he also decided he wanted to be a gangster rapper & recently made a really crappy album. I say have both of them fight Chuck and see which one can last the longest before getting knocked out. This would be the battle of two big idiots.
