This is why Wilt's side didn't really want the fight when it got close.
There was a serious enough chance however, that Wilt would win by upset via knockout. No chance in hell he'd ever win by points, but Wilt was so ****ing huge and powerful if one of his punches landed clean Ali would have been in serious trouble. Wilt would have probably been the hardest hitting fighter of all time if the stories of his strength are true, and they would have been delivered via a ridiculous 92 inch reach and supported by a 310lb body. It scared Ali's trainer enough that Ali's trainer called off the fight.
As I said, it was a mutual back off. Was Wilt a boxer? Hell ****ing no, Ali would have destroyed him on points and could have knocked Wilt out... there was a legitimate off chance of an upset though, and not just any upset either, one where Ali could have gotten seriously hurt because Wilt was so freakishly big and strong.

I would love to see what a frustrated, missed all his FG's and FT's, embarrassed, outraged Shaq would do to Chamberlain. He'd have a good chance at killing him in a matter of about 30-60 seconds.

Shaq looked like a little boy next to Wilt
And uhhh, Wilt wasn't one of the strongest athletes ever? I'd love to see you "LOL" at everyone that ever encountered him. Good luck convincing guys like Arnold Wilt wasn't one of the strongest athletes ever, not like he saw it first-hand or anything

Shaq doesn't even know how to fight to say he would beat wilt in a matter of seconds is ridiculous.

How will a guy without killer instinct kill Kobe. He will fight Kobe to survive, but kill... No way.

Wilt could catch the ball in the post and wave the ball around with single coverage all day long when he played.

How can you say Shaq was stronger? He was a bigger bully but Wilt was quicker, faster, more nimble and greater raw power.
One Peak Wilt jab might disable 2000 Shaq for life.

Shaq has no fighting skills what so ever
Can't even it hit someone who isn't looking.

Wilt knew how to do a thing called pass to the open man, I know you aren't familiar cause your a Kobe fan... You'll see a lot more double, triple, and collapsing defense in the passing scouting video I'll do on Wilt. Then you can bury yet another one of your go-to-moves... RIP to yet another fabricated criticism I'm afraid

Re: Fight to the death: Lebron vs Kobe
I doubt LeBron has ever thrown a punch in his life. Literally. And Bean has shown he has the fighting ability of a caterpillar:
Threw another weak 'punch' attempt at skinny ass Reggie...got carried across the court by him and Body slammed onto the scorer's table
It'd be about as terrible a 'fight' as you could imagine. Pretty much just 2 really tall elementary school girls tusslin'. And if Bean managed to get the drop on Bron, Nike would just confiscate the tape anyway.

Re: Fight to the death: Lebron vs Kobe
A better question would be if both 10 year old Kobe and LeBron were taken in by Miyagi-esque trainer and trained in a specific martial art who would be the greater fighter?
Kobe is known for his second to none work ethic but LeBron has the greater physical attributes.
