    Shakes head in disgust, all these what if's.

    What if Hulk Hogan hit someone with 24 inch arms? You gotta have the boxing skills thats what matters. All these are just a speculation

    One of the top 15 players ever and one of the top 3-4 centers ever. A true legend. The guy had the agility of a 6'8" small forward. A freakish athlete. ATG defender. Post moves were so good, Kobe Bryant asked for his advice. Could hit the 15 footer. Even take guys off the dribble. Everything you wanted from you center, he gave you and then some.

    Yea, Mason was a badass too. Supposedly he got his ass whooped by former Carolina Panthers Fullback William Floyd at a strip club though. Floyd too was a bad mother****er.

    Olajuwon had excellent foot placement for his size. Don't know how many people notice stuff like that, but he had the grace a ****in ballarina would die for.

    Doesn't mean a thing if he can't take a punch. If he can, he'd probably be contender at worst.

    Who knows? What we do know is that he was Black and played in the NBA so he would have certainly beaten the Klitschko's,

    That is how the formulae works???

    Spud Webb would have KO'd the Klitschko's!!!

    He also had proportions of a much smaller person, not the long legs & shorter torso of most big men. This equaled to lower center of gravity, which makes balance easier for his size.
