Promoter Gary Shaw says Kimbo could be the world heavyweight champion in boxing.
Gary Shaw:"I'd like to possibly even take him and put him in a boxing ring. I do believe Kimbo has the ability to be the heavyweight world champion in boxing, as I do believe he has the ability under Bas to be the world champion in MMA. And Kimbo's going to be the first MMA fighter to ever be the heavyweight champion of the world in boxing."
But I think its mere hype, I dont believe he will ever dare put him in the boxing ring and risk stalling his potential in mma. Gary Shaw is a boxing man and surely knows kimbo would end up looking out of his element and soundly beaten by any quality boxer in a similar way as the guy in this video,

the guy is used to fighting street bums and without gloves, put him in against someone who has been fighting their whole life in boxing and you're going to see a guy who is clueless inside the ring.
i like kimbo's street fights, but a real boxing match with gloves is a totally different beast and it is something that kimbo wouldn't look good at all doing.
he ought to stick with MMA and avoid getting into a submission........that is all.
oh yeah, gary shaw is a thief and a fool.........
Wlad, Peters, Toney, Holyfield would kick his ass and knock him out.
The mma is supposed to be difficult but someone like kimbo is winning so what does that say about the mma?
That for some reason, no one wants to give Kimbo a decent fight.
Mercer/Slice could have been great because not only was Kimbo training with Couture/Rutten, but Mercer was supposed to train with Liberio/Davis at ATT. But all ATT's training went in one ear and out the other and Mercer got choked out by a kindergarden guillotine from Kimbo.
Cantrell/Slice was a piece of crap that no one but Bo Cantrell was proud of. Cantrell just took the money and dove. The guy has no heart in fighting. All he does is collect checks and dives. Hell, even fighters complain about Cantrell's diving. Nobody likes that asshole.
But then Gary Shaw thought was a great matchup for Kimbo.
Fucking moron.

The mma is supposed to be difficult but someone like kimbo is winning so what does that say about the mma? Either there feeding him shit competition or mma is over rated cause no way should kimbo be dominating as he has so far (two fights i think). Kimbo would get killed. And fuck gary shaw, it is offical now that he knows shit.
kimbo is nothing but maybe a little taller than tyson but probably just as slow.
not a chance.chad dawsonhas a better chance at being heavyweight champ

Yeah....he's a promoter and he knows that Kimbo's internet fame would make $$$$.
People would jump all over a Kimbo vs Tyson, 4 rounder:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:
current state of the heavyweigths i woudnt rule it out! but would have to make do with an alphabet title! i dont see him beatng klitshko or peter!
he would even lose to Rachman IMO. hes a street fighter turned MMA fighter. he leaves himself wide open and blocks punches with his head. i bet any top 25 heavyweight would beat him.
