    This is what happens when Kimbo fights a fighter with any skill, he gets owned!

        Tank has been washed up for ten years. Why would Kimbo fight a guy that's one-dimensional (Tank) and has one victory in this decade?

          I have a great idea, why would not Kimbo fight Haye.

          If Haye beats kimbo then he gets the recognition in the US, if kimbo beats haye then he can have bragging rights to fight a champ

            I guess they wanted Kimbo's resume to have Tank Abbott on it, he's still a pretty big name in MMA.

              are you serious? you think kimbos first aponant below 50 should be david haye an in prime world champion lol haye would **** Kimbo up Quick 1st round K.O.

              and i dont think it would give haye that much recognition beating up an old streetfighter with little boxing skill

              maybe Haye should go onto WWE and fight sum sweaty bloke with spandex on that seems to get a lot of recognition nower days

                Ofcourse I thin Haye would beat him up, but from a marketing standpoint it would be perfect.

                  lol kimbos boxing style isnt actual too bad, he has power, a lot of lateral movement, decent defence and considering the state of the heavyweight division at the minute he would have a punchers chance against anyone. im not saying he would become champ in fact i think that is laughable, but he would create a bit of a buzz in he heavyweight division and might even beat one or two top contenders on sheer size and stength alone.

                  i think there are massive question marks surrounding his footwork, discipline and fitness though.

                  Decent contender??? Maybe

                  Heavyweight Champion? ****ing doubt it!

                  what do you lot think?

                    I dont understand why Kimbo would give up a lot of his natural advantages to go in a boxing ring.

                    I dont think he is the type of guy who can box 12 rounds in a strategic kind of fight.

                    Every boxer has fights where he needs to grind out a points victory, i just can`t see kimbo having the necessary skills or patience to do this,

                    he should stay in MMA, he is far better suited to it...

                      lol what you say is absolutely corect, however money talks and if he gets offered a fat pay cheque to box he'll take it straight away. he's more of an exhibition fighter in my opinion
