    I don't know much about MMA or cage fighting but you just can't take a guy from one sport and put him into another and expect the same results. It’s just a silly idea.

      That shows you the difference in MMA and pro boxing. His frist MMA fight was on PPV. It would take him a solid 20 fights to even crack the top 30 in boxing.

          yall forgetting that in Boxing, a fool with hype doesnt have to pay the same dues other fighters pay. Shaw is a promoter. He could have Kimbo fight any heavyweight champion for the right amount of money on PPV tomorrow if he wanted to.

            I could picture him getting a title shot pretty quickly in a HW match actually.

              I do think kimbo is a natural boxer with a heavy punch and smart striking abilities but I don't think he is good enough to go toe-to-toe with a top 10 heavyweight boxer today. He is far too old to learn the game. But it is kinda sad cuz if he had learned how to box at an earlier age he definitley would be heavyweight champ IMO.

                That's really ****ing pushing it, lol.

                Because he's still amateurish as hell when it comes to punching and he's yet to show any type of boxing ability outside of occasional head feints.

                  I think he's a tough, hard nosed, heavy handed bare knuckle fighter who has worked hard on his stand up fighting..........and that's showed.

                  But he clearly has no boxing ability. He's immobile, and his coordination is suspect. He does have the hard straight punch.

                    All I know is I'd easily be able to find some people dumb enough to put money on Kimbo against anybody including Wlad.

                      If you mean by around 20 fights against he usual 30 or so fights then yes. Boxing isnt going to bend too far for "kimbo".
