    If Kimbo tried to enter boxing, boxing fans would not only laugh but he would have been knocked out by the first fighter with any decent skill.
    Lol who was it he knocked out? An old washed up BOXER.

    Kimbo is nothing more than a sideshow attraction and MMA fans are picking him to lose to another side show attraction in Brock Lesnar.

        That is what is exactly wrong with MMA.

        Have you ever heard another athlete claim he could make it in boxing without any formal training?

        Even Kurt Angle feels that he would of beaten Chuck Lidell. Not going to say I would believe that....but it's a fair argument.

        In boxing, aside from butterbean, no sideshow attractions. The sport is complex. Cannot say the same thing about MMA. For the most part it is not very complex. Unless you have two skilled grapplers.

          So I guess you forgot about Wilt Chamberlain trying boxing?

              Actually boxing has guys who became cult icons after leaving their $5.85 and hour job at Jack in the Box to fight for Super Middle Weight Title.

              And Chamberlain got his ass whipped.

                  In today's internet world, it makes it alot easier for someone like Kimbo to get his 15mins of fame. There have been many pro-athletes who gave boxing a shot and failed in the worst way, the difference between those guys and Kimbo, is that Kimbo was a Yout*be creation.

                  I'm pretty sure if Wilt Chamberlain had access to Yout*be back in days, and the fact that he was already a world reknowned athlete in the 70's, we all would've had been taken for a ride, well not all, but most! Imagine the PPV #s if Wilt created himself as this beast in his Yout*be fights and then signs a deal with lets say Don K*ng and then Wilt gets pitted against another crazy mother****er named Iron Mike Tyson! Can you imagine the hype behind that?

                    I dont care.

                    Last I checked we dont have any former math high school teachers as champs of the world.

                    Boxers are real athletes.

                    Most of the MMA guys are mugs.
