As a Pacer fan I just learn 2 ignore whatever he says (since 99.9 % of the time its garbage) and just hope he sticks to playing ball...he's crazy as .
Artest would go out all agressive but his punches won't send the 'fro down. He also can't leave his guard down for one second or he'd be history. Big Ben will wait until Artest gets tired and then he'll land a knock out punch in the middle of the sixth round.
So my prediciton: Big Ben by KO in the 6th. Book it.
I think Artest was trying to be funny about boxing Wallace, like with his quote about the All-Star game. The guy is immature and unstable, but sometimes I think he's just trying to give a good quote. If Shaq had said the same thing, everyone would have gotten it.
But since you guys are taking the crap he says seriously I think I should inform you guys that Artest's father was a boxer....
Hold up! Re-do the v-bookie!(I didn't know that... that's interesting).

Sunday morning, Ron Artest called his dad. "Ron's OK," says Artest Sr., who ... Ron Sr.
is a Navy vet and a former Golden Gloves boxer out of Philadelphia. ...

My father competed nationally at drag strips (nothing like NHRA though), he taught me a thing or two about it and I did a few races. Doesnt mean Im about to challenge a bigger more powerfull car to a race just because I have some experience.
And its not that Im taking the comment seriously I just think its in bad taste and stupid of him to mention something like that after what happened the last time they came to blows, even if he was just trying to be funny. Some people can never learn to just shut the up, they continue to insist on being idiots.
I seriously wonder if people like Artest go back and read the articles to see some of the quotes they have made and think to themselves how clever they must appear to everyone else.
Some kind of psycological test should be mandatory in order to enter the nba
People think that artest is small for some reason. I think if artest would be able to keep his composure he'd beat Ben in boxing but i don't think that would happan.
Ultimate/street fighting i'd easily take Ron.
But seriously. I'd pay $50 pay per view to see that . Thats a moneymaker waiting to happan.
I'm SURE that that would fit into each others contracts also.
With Artest's boxing experience, I think he'd have the advantage, but Ben would still have a puncher's chance.
Personally, I'd like to see a WWF bout between Darko and Madsen. Oh, wait....
...I already saw that. Nevermind.

Darko has Madsen tapping out.
Apples and Oranges, in a car, you are limited to what you can do, if he can go 150mph, and you can only go 90, you are in trouble, no matter your experience. But I bet that a guy with boxing experience, (I heard awhile back that several NBA players train by sparring, and boxing workouts, great for stamina) could beat a guy that is bigger and stronger and has no boxing experience. Size and strength does not always mean that you will win a boxing match, speed and reflexes are just as important. I'm not picking who would win, just trying to add to the conversation.
What the am I doing?? This post is a waste of time, although I would love to see it. Although I will say, I wish more players would play with at least 1/4 the heart that Artest does, I respect him for that.
Street fight or not, Ben's too slow, Artest would eat him up.
It's good to have power, but speed is the best thing you can have in a fight.
Ben would have Ron on the canvas so often they'd have to rename him Rembrandt.
Ben is mostly show, he's too nice. Artest on the other hand would try to murder him.
Nah, Artest would be punked by Ben.
Didn't the footage from the "Brawl" show that when he got mad, he ran over to fight the fans instead of Ben Wallace who shoved him earlier. Artest knows he will get schooled by Wallace.
Penthouse magazine is still around? I thought they went bankrupt years ago.
Yes it did. Do you understand bankruptcy in this country. Most of the airlines flying are in bankruptcy RIGHT NOW.
I heard Swank and Cheri turned him down.....
I actually think Ron would kick Ben's ass. Ron is much quicker and much crazier than Wallace and being quick and crazy are two major advantages in a fight.
I think they should have a UFC fight on PPV.
Do you understand how to punctuate a question? Until then, shut up.
Artest did break MJ's ribs in a pickup game. This is how the fight would go. In the middle of the 2nd round, Wallace gets distracted fixing his afro and wham! down goes ben
Hey, he had his chance last November. Had he fought Ben on that night, perhaps the Motown melee would have been limited to just an on-court fight. Rather than spilling over into the stands, as it did.
My pick: Ben takes him alive in round five.
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"
