Just out of curiosity, what real life fight experience does zion have. Wrestling, Boxing, Any type of martial arts?
Also, do you think oscar Dela Hoya can beat Zion in basketball? I mean, I've seen oscar play basketball before, and hes an athlete. Surely he or Roy Jones Jr. Who has a basketball court in his house can beat Zion at basketball? Wait, the pride and joy of New Orleand himself, Percy "Master P" Miller doesnt need his rap fame and multi million dollar business ventures, especially after playing in the NBA for the Raptors. He surely can beat Zion at basketball right?
Sounds dumb right? At least I give Zion a punchers chance, same as everyone else. But no way does he beat a top level world champion fighter in any arena of their skill, be it MMA, Boxing, Baseball, Hockey, Ballet dancing, chess, cheerleading.
Dont put yourselves in the category of the fools who thought Mcgreggor could beat Floyd Mayweatjer in boxing. One person is good to great at what they do, going into another realm that they are not good at.
Master P has a better chance of beating Zion in basketball than Zion has of beating Mcgreggor. Hell Glass Joe would probably knock him out. Haha
I am on the opinion that McGregor would beat Zion. I just think there is a cutoff point. My example was simple, take the most skilled kid or little person martial artist. Say, a 60 pound little person, or an 80 pound kid. Surely you guys wouldn't bet on them, right? Even if they were insanely skilled. So obviously there is a cutoff point where strength, athleticism trumps any skill. In your opinion, where is that cutoff point?
That is an interesting point. I'm sure maybe if we were to put zion against a young teen or something like that where lack of experience may also be in play along with lack of strength even with great skill.. I don't think that cutoff point is a 170 lb grown man who is a seasoned, ufc championship level fighter though. What we need to take into consideration as well is that zion is a young, inexperienced guy as well who may not have as much training as say, another nba player who has been boxing in the offseason throughout his prime. A lot of variables in play here, obviously, and you definitely have to give both guys a chance. I don't think it would be an easy win for either. I feel like the winner probably takes some type of damage.
James Toney, a professional, hall of fame boxer, 3 weight class world champion, got completely whooped by Silva.
McGreggor a world class UFC champion, future hall of famer, got his ass kicked for 5 rounds, and that fight could have ended sooner, by floyd Mayweather in a boxing ring.
Theres a reason these guys are world class top level talent in what they do. Let's let Zion play basketball and see how great of a NBA player he can become. That's what he trained for all his life to do and what hes perfected and honed his skill in. It's not like any of these guys are going to beat him on a basketball court. And that's all that matters.
