    Yes, he does. However, I was showing Kimbo's fighting form. It is especially tough to keep nice posture and composure when fighitng a guy who fights wild.

    Hey--**** eater....go **** Kimbo or something...get the **** out of here with that wimp ****....and I do know the origins of the sport, and the Marquis of Queensbury rules...and how we, as a society, have progressed, and how the sport has as well...now because of ever schmuvk having a video camera, we have trash fighting in alleys. Yep..thats a sanctioned bare knuckled brawl right there....moron.

    Some one please throw up the Tyson hitting the pads video so Widow Maker can see waht true speed on the pads at that weight is about..then maybe he can compare and contrast that and come to his senses...top level boxer>low level grappler in a boxing ring. Kimbo is not fast my man...he is slower than even Ruddock..

    I think Kimbo is good enough that he could beat a highly rated welterweight. I do however think that Mosely would tear up his protege Ray who weighs about 200 pounds.

    Great post and I agree 100% except for the part about loving to see Shane beat Kimbo. I just see no way in the world Shane could hurt or scare Kimbo.

    I think anyone that laced up the gloves at one time in his life will tell you, Kimbo has decent boxing skills, guys like Widdow Maker and Beebs have seen my positive posts on Kimbo in the MMA forum. The truth of the matter is, Kimbo has good boxing skills and power for an MMA fighter, but he would look like a boxing novice if he fought anyone in the Heavyweight divisions top 100.

    As far as Mosley/Kimbo, Mosley gives up size and power, no problem. Mosley has far superior foot work, defense, speed, stamina, and workrate. Mosley wouldnt even get hit with a solid punch the whole fight, Mosley will be countering his punches the whole night. It would be like putting a prime Roy Jones in the ring with Butterbean, yeah Butterbean has the power and weight, by whats power if you can even land your punches solidly?

    I don't see the logic. Kimbo is every bit as skilled as Mayorga and Mayorga has won titles in boxing.

    That was one of the points I was trying to make - Mosley is light-years more skilled than Kimbo, but skill is not the only way to win in boxing.

    How is RJJ anything like a Welter/Jr Middleweight?

    By the way, I agree that prime RJJ kicks Butterbean's ass.
