In season two of his TV show, Shaq entered the boxing ring to go face to face with “Sugar” Shane Mosley. And without a doubt, he gave Mosley a run for his money. In fact, the fight was quite fair, considering both of them were of the same age at the time.
Because of Shaq’s height and weight, he had a great advantage over Shane. And if only he had gotten one clear punch, it’s possible it could have been a knockout. Eventually, Mosley, who dodged Shaq’s punches and landed most of his own, won the fight.
