    :patschYou are joking, right? It's obvious he's no boxer even against fat blokes in gardens and car parks. Buster Douglas-esque my arse.

    It was his birthday last week and im pretty sure it was his 35th. He has no boxing credentails, no amateur career and no skill, yeah he can compete in mma but Gary Shaw is something else to make such ignorant proclamations, either he is taking the **** out of those mma people or doesnt have any respect for boxing.

    I'd love to see them build Kimbo up fighting tomato cans, hype him to hell, then feed him to Wlad for a huge fight to help bring heavyweight boxing back to the limelight.

    It's the kind of fight that'd get people talking.


    It'd just take 2-3 years to build up too, and I think Wlad or Kimbo would lose before then.

    you guys are selling kimbo short, and overselling guys like monte, brock, mccline, ect....

    Brought up right, and given the time and experiance, yes... kimbo could become a decent contender... a beltholder? i doubt it... a champion? hell... WLADS not even considered champion yet, no way kimbo gets there.


    BUT... id LOVE to see him try

    Because once he IS slaughtered by a true elite fighter like a Wlad or Haye... it would shock the street and mma world and hopefully open their ****ing eyes.

    but i have no doubt that if shaw invests the time and does things right that yes, kimbo can get to a top 20 spot.

    Not one fighter in MMA could get even close to a legitmate world title in boxing. This especially includes Kimbo Slice.

    Great boxer? Ummm I have seen that he has some decent skills but he has a lot to prove to me that he's great. I would love to see him and Mighty Mo Duke it out. :bbb
