I would pay money to see that fight. It would not be totally one sided. Sure Artest shyed away from ben wallace during the night of the Malice in the Palace, but Ben's major advantage would be his superior reach.
Artest is much faster and very big though.
I doubt Ben has much reach advantage. Artest has long arms and their height difference is only 2"
Ben is an undersized center playing against 7 footers
i figure by definition he has to have a reach advantage
Plus Sean Elliott said it best "[Ben Wallace] has got LIMBS for arms"
:lol

EXACTLY. CUZ HE'S NO LEADER...NOT YET ANYWAY.
Take the first step Ron, don't TALK, WALK!!!
as for boxing Wallace? please, he had his chance and he backed down like a bitch and decided to box fans instead.
I actually LIKE Ron Artest. He has fire. But until he learns to CONTROL it, it's a big waste.
pussies talk, MEN walk. :smokin
there will be 2 hits, ben hits ron, ron hits the canvas.Quote:

Only person Ben needs to be afraid of is Shaq. Commentators noticed that Ben took a beating from Shaq and it took a while for him to get over that.
Although Artest is crazy and big, he would get slaughtered in a fight with Big Ben. I think Artest needs some professional help, especially before he makes Ben mad. That would not be good.

Exactly. He didn't stick around to see what Ben would do to him. Think he knows something that you might be missing, like the power of Brute force?Quote:

boxing is about skill and stamina.
if artest has boxing knowledge?
if it's in a controled 'boxing' environment with a ref?
Ron could beat Ben. Although I do agree, If Ben connects on one of his punches, Ron is going down hard. :tu
i don't know what kind of 'Boxing' knowledge Ben has.
but if i was on the street? i know i'm backing the fro. i got ben's back fo sure.
now imagine an NBA team with BOTH of them on it?
a defensive dream if Ron could be disciplined....

Artest has bulked up to 260 according to reports but I would give it to Ben as well =bigger heart!
I've been hearing he is up around 270-275.Quote:

It'll be intense to watch Ron and Ben in their first rematch since the Artest meltdown.
I just checked the schedule and we play the Pacers 4 times this season but the rematch isn't until the 46th game of the season, Feb. 4th :wow ...think the powers that be had something to do with that late rematch? :lol
Probably a wise decision on the leagues part, Ron stands a fair chance of being suspended by then.
What a moron!
I have no idea how Ben fights, but from Artest's display of going up in the stands, he has little or no discipline. He didn't look very impressive at all going up against those average sized fans. Someone punching straight on could have gave him a good blow before he ever connected with his roundhouse right. Artest seems like he would be going on straight size and craziness alone, which wouldn't go very far against a good fighter in the same size range. Ron's words show aggression, but I didn't see it when Ben pushed him or when he was afraid a fan might punch him. He might just be a big p**** that tries to pysche people out.
That's why Artest is the biggest chode.
That's just him gaining weight from not playing, so he's a fat chode nowQuote:

Has anyone else here actually been in any fights? Funny, anyone thats done some boxing is saying artest but I honestly believe most of the others in this thread are Tyler Durdin's before they hung out at Lou's Tavern.
Are you refering to Edward Nortons character (who was never named in the actual film but is referred to as "Jack" on the DVD box and in the menus) the skinny guy who's life goes to crap?Quote:
