Good video, i think he would have sparked Kimbo in his prime.
tank was the best back in the day
He tapped out every time he stepped up against the very best fighters to be fair.
Cuauhtémoc1520 03-11-2008, 11:37 AM I dissagree, I think two men of that size would have had a chance to win with the power they posess. Kimbo has much better technique and is much more fluent in his punching.
I would not be suprised if he KO'd a prime Tank at all. Would make for a great fight though.

This made me chuckle, apparently Tank has a celebrated "Thumb War" career! haha

****, you've got me convinced, guess its time to update the old p4p list:
1. David "Tank" Abbott
2. Anderson Silva
3. Fedor
Seriously though, Tank is a legend who injected a ton of excitement into the early UFCs, no question.
Mike Tyson77 03-18-2008, 12:49 PM I think Slice should give him a rematch and winner fight for the title!!
Tank certainly had the ability to beat Kimbo easily, the problem would be tank's fighting ethics. He didn't believe in trying to escape a punching exchange by grabbing a guy and going to the ground, he would think that was a punk move. That would get him knocked out by Slice. However if the fight ended up on the ground Tank would easliy take it.

I wonder how Prime Tank would have done.
jackmcmanus21 03-19-2008, 01:32 PM That's a pretty insane bench press. I know Tank has some decent wrestling too, it's too bad he gave no effort to becoming more well rounded
