You probably picked Mercer to beat Kimbo too.
Being a former anything, doesn`t mean shit, unless you are fighting a guy from an office.
Being a champion is a moment in time, Tyson is nothing now, he doesn`t have it anymore, he can`t throw down against Kimbo because he would get his ass handed to him.
McBride is one of the WORST heavyweights to ever step in the ring with Tyson, and he beat his ass, what does that tell you about Tysons chances with Kimbo... and this was a long time ago.
:tapedshut :tapedshut
the man knocks out a few bums in the 80's and he is suddenly the greatest street fighter on the planet, despite the fact that he is in his 40's, snorts coke, got ko'd by greats like McBride and Williams and probably couldn`t run a mile.
you don't even know if Kimbo's ever strapped on boxing gloves, not the 4 ounce mma gloves, but you're ready to discredit one of the most devastating heavyweights in history. I've got nothing left to say on the subject. You seem to have already drawn your conclusion.
Baddest man on the planet! Show some respect, and Kimbo said he wanted Mike in the boxing Ring!

I bet Gannon wouldn't have left the second round of a fight with Tyson.

also.. I think Tyson has Kimbo edged slightly on the crazy gene. Listening to Kimbo talk you know he's definitely a bit cuckoo but Tyson definitely has a better crazy switch.
It's actually pretty ridiculous that MMA rules allow him to have that beard. If I'm not mistaken most real-MMA fans consider Kimbo a detriment to their sport.
Kimbo knocked out random street brawlers.. Bo was a joke, and Tank abbot? Come on.. There is no way of determining Slice can handle real heavyweights from what he's shown us. Also as stated earlier, in a boxing match you have to wear gloves, and you can't have a 2-3 inch thick beard. I doubt Kimbo would could take any ranked heavy weights and he sure as hell wouldn't win if those fights went past round 2.
Watch his interview on ESPN, he seems like a good cat. Just trying to get by. "A ***** gotta eat." He was a great football player too, but a hurricane messed everything up for his senior year.
Kimbo is a tight Fighter, he's got some skill but I don't believe he can last 12 rounds with a skilled Boxer like James Toney. Iron Mike Tyson would have dismantled him because in Reality Kimbo hits hard and has some skill but He doesn't have speed nor is his endurance spectacular. Boxing gloves I think would also hinder him power wise. He's better off in the UFC he seems more fierce. Against a cat like Tyson, Toney, Holyfield, Foreman, in their Primes would eat him.
agreed, between the boxing gloves and the fact kimbo probally doesnt have nearly as much endurance as any pro boxer, kimbo v. any pro boxer in their prime would be a slaughter. A good fight would be prime holyfield vs kimbo.
yeah, tyson has had problems but u think kimbo can beat him? your not to smart are you? been following boxing long? tyson is a former hw champ, and an atg. kimbo is a back yard brawler, but he outboxes mike tyson? wow man, i hope all the posters here are not as lame as you!
i'm pretty lame, not as lame as someone who makes an alt account to back themselves up though
The wheels should have come off the Kimbo hype train after that day.
yeah man, he will do ok in mma i suppose, but beating tyson at boxing is a joke! don't tell the 12 yr old fan boys that tho. lmfao
yeah a, they were all freaked out he was losing! that gannon dude was tough, and took a pounding, but had more heart than kimbo in the end!
