    I think instead of boxing, it should be ultimate fight.

    I think Artest has had boxing training, so it's probably no contest.

    Man, it don't matter how much training Artest has had. Big Ben is solid muscle. I still think Artest was running from Wallace at the brawl, not trying to restrain himself.

    But Ron is solid muscle too. Plus, he's crazy. I think Ben would be the underdog.

    So is this going to actually happen?? I'd probablly pay to watch that...actually I know I would (but, that's why they put it on PPV).

    Big Ben has the reach. Ron is insane. Push goes to solid muscle. Both are very thug like. I honestly don't know who I'd take, thus why I'd pay.

    This is what people are forgetting... Artest weighs more than Wallace and is muscle, too.

    people forget not only is ron artest CRAZY....he's 6'7, 260+ pounds of solid muscle. i know ben plays PF and C but he's about the same size in height, listed at 6'9 but that's more like 6'8 or 6'7, and 240 pounds. i think it would be a good fight but i'd go with ron...unpredictable and A LOT of pent up anger.

    Well if Ron's career in basketball doesn't get where he wants, I'm sure Pride Fighting Championship and the UFC will sign him up to a six figure contract. Heck, I'd pay to see him fight the likes of Chuck Liddell (though not in his weight category) and Andrei Arlovski keke

    Not to mention Artest is just much quicker. I can't imagine that doesn't translate to hand speed too.

    Does this sound like a man way, way over the line into crazyness to anyone else? Does this ring a bell? Mike Tyson-crazy, anyone? And I don't mean to draw the obvious paralell because of the boxing. Artest is a wack-job with talent, JUST like Tyson, plain an simple. It's really sad, but when you stack fame on top of people like this, there is no stopping them.

    You gotta be kidding. Artest would have Benny begging for mercy in minutes.

    seriously now, what are the odds of this REALLY taking place, say, after the Finals.....or better yet, over all-star weekend....that would be AWSOME!

    No way Artest wins that fight.


    Yeah, he's crazy. That's the problem.


    He's blinded by all his "anger" or whatever's wrong with him, quits thinking, Ben lays him out.



    I can see it in my head so clearly. Artest loses easily.
