King Dunlap (NFL) vs. Sim Bhullar (NBA)

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

This is a fun one that pits two literal giants against each other. While at face value, you’d surely pick the 7-foot-5, 360-pound Bhullar to overtake the 6-foot-9, 330-pound Dunlap, it may be closer than you’d think. Bhullar has dealt with rather significant conditioning issues since he began college basketball, which is the main reason that he went undrafted after declaring following his sophomore year. Dunlap, meanwhile, has developed into one of the nastiest run blockers in the NFL and can frequently be found running defenders over.

Because of Bhullar’s relative lack of aggression, Dunlap acts as David did to Goliath and defeats his much-larger opponent.
