    Yo, I found this show the other day and it is totally awesome. Shaq vs Oscar de la Hoya was great.

    And a fencing one would be awesome.

    This is indeed a great show. Shaq is a better all-around athlete than I ever expected!

    I imagine there was some level of cross-training during his career.

    And it's far too late....but Shaq vs Bo Jackson in their prime!!

    Shaq vs. whomever-a-famous-horse-jockey-is.

    Race 1: Shaq rides a clydesdale.
    Race 2: Steeple chase. But Shaq gets no horse. Has to run it.
    Race 3: Shaq's horse is a small pony! How shocking! How cruel! The twist? Put the small pony in one of those lil 2-wheeled carts and have Shaq do the pulling.
    Often in error. Never in doubt.

    Really? I think Shaq would crush her just because he is so big and strong. A larger adult who can move very quickly and who has tons of experience would be preferable, and in order for this to be a real show idea, the fencer would have to be the most well-known fencer of today who fences epee. How about Laura Flessel-Colovic or Pavel Kolobkov?

    That's the beauty of it. I doubt he would win. I think he would lose to a 15 yr old girl- And that would be fun.

    Additionally, it would show that fencing is not so much a game of strength and build, but of speed, agility and tactics and training; exclusive to no one, not even young women.

    15 touches.... $1000.00 per touch... paid to the winners favorite charity... or better yet, to the USFA Olympic fencers fund.



    (Or maybe a 3 wpn bout vs Ray Sexton III)?
