Huge gulf between Dawkins and Moses, Moses could actually play and was 2 time MVP, Dawkins was known for breaking rims.

I think he would've defeated Ali. Wilt was a superb all 'round athlete. He would've dominated today's NBA clowns with ease.

I know. Both around our age. Like I said in the other thread, I hope Dr.J. is in good health. It generally comes in three's, if you believe that. RIP.

lots of "athletes" try there hand at boxing because they accomplished all that they can in there sport

even the great wilt chamberlin and jim brown couldnt even hang with boxers for less than 1 round and trust me they tried

boxing aint a sport its fighting no balls played with here

Arguably, the most underrated center of the modern era. He pioneered the path for guys going straight from high school to the pros. Truly a legend....RIP

I saw him play with the ATL Hawks towards the end of his career.

He went pro after High School.

He was a baller, not a scholar.
