You all are just a bunch of pure Kimbo haters

[Froch You]

sigh....Kimbo already got knocked out by a amateur boxer, that Gannon guy. hate to tell you, but amateurs suck....even the best amateurs(Gold Medalists) dont do well in pro boxing nowadays.

dont like to discredit them, but mma fighters can NOT make it in boxing. some examples...
Keith Jardine-The guy that knocked out the current UFC champ(Forrest Griffin) in the first round and outboxed Liddell. He was sent to the hospital by this guy, who is at best a journeyman
http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php...4344&cat=boxer
Roman Zentsov-A guy who has KO wins over good mma fighters like one of their top strikers, Pedro Rizzo. Yet in boxing, he can only get wins over guys who have never won a professional fight.

Jens Pulver-Former UFC Lightweight champ who was considered one of the best strikers in mma, yet he got dropped and was taken to a split decision against this guy?

Anderson Silva-Considered the best striker in mma, yet he got knocked out by this guy?

...although that was a long time ago, so Ill give him a pass.

even champion kickboxers cant make it in boxing, like Mighty Mo, Ray Sefo and Mark Hunt.

will you ever listen?

Great post

Great post

Agreed. Any tool that thinks that any MMA guy can hang with even a top 100 boxer in their weight class needs to stop sniffing glue.

With proper training and a good corner I think he would do well with aginst the current HW division. But if you had asked me this ten years ago he would get destroyed. Every fighter had to start some where. No fighter just starts off with great skills. Every fight or prospect has been fead bums in there first few fights, so why the hate on kimbo. Its not his fault the media hyped him up to be this beast of a man.

Kimbo fights in rigged MMA matches against old guys or nobodies and is ****ing garbage at that. He wouldnt last a round against a top 20 Heavyweight boxer.

[-Swizzy-]

Kimbo would not even be a fringe contender in boxing. I respect MMA but the talent pool is way smaller and thinner especially athletically. Kimbo would get KOed by journeymen in boxing.

In MMA he can be a fringe contender/journeyman. It's completely different.

Kimbo will never be a contender/journeyman in the MMA. he is being hyped by the most garbage mma organization(Elite XC) out there.

Ok I agree that this is a good post...but you can't really call that Gannon brawl a fight...if you do it was a **** fight...people were all in the mix and **** the whole thing was just effed up...I wouldn't use that example to say Kimbo's been KO'd by a boxer...that wasn't a boxing match...and this was before Kimbo started serious training...you can tell he gased out in that "fight"...with all that being said Kimbo would do best to stay with MMA and do his thing there...if he goes with the boxing thing he is gonna get handled!!!!

what if cus d'amato trained kimbo...

Kimbo will never be a contender/journeyman in the MMA. he is being hyped by the most garbage mma organization(Elite XC) out there.

like i said: way better chance in MMA. He wouldn't even get past butterbean in boxing. But he's beating Butterbean level MMAers.

MMA = parity. That means that you're more likely to have a chance than in boxing.

You probably also though GSP could never lose.
