    Why all the hate for Kimbo Slice?

    I dont get it. The guy went from being homeless just a few yrs ago, to fighting in backyards, etc... just to be able to eat and feed his family. Now that he's getting some shine, many boxing fans seem to be hating on the guy. Yes, he might not be a well rounded fighter, but even he admits that. During the post-fight interview on Saturday, he even said that there is still alot for him to learn because he considers himself a "baby" to the sport. Now if he were running around talking **** about how he was the greatest thing to ever grace MMA, then i would understand the hate, but the guy is just trying to earn an honest living by fighting. I also think alot of the hate towards him has to do with MMA as a whole, as oppose to just him. Recently they have been getting alot of media attention, and the tv networks have been showing them alot of love. Dont get mad at the fighters or the MMA organizations. Get mad at the greedy boxing promoters and crooked sanctioning bodies for the lack of attention boxing has been recieving.

    I did not see his fight, but i think the hate he gets is pretty bad, Not as bad as some other people.

    But like you said all he wants to do is make a living and to feed his family. I don't hate him for that, i think others shouldn't either.

                  statement above...moronic

                  As far as Slice goes, jealousy is a mother. People dont want to see others succeed. They guy went from cabbage to Crys TAL. Love the guy hope he continues to thrive...AMERICAN DREAM BABY!!!

                    Kimbo is actually a humble guy. I had the idea for some reason that he was some bully. But watching some specials on him he's actually a good guy. And I enjoyed seeing him punch a guys ear off as well.
