    in his(Tyson) current shape I doubt he would stand a chance in boxing ring against Kimbo.

    Kimbo probably could knock Klitcshko out - if he had a ****ing bat and Wlad was tied to a chair or something.

    Poor Shaw! He's the same guy who raved over Lacy saying he was going to kick Calzaghe's ass and we all know how that turned out.

    Klitschko would ****ing MURDER Kimbo in brutal fashion.

    But Wlad knows how to fight defensively. Do you think he lets Kimbo get anywhere near landing a clean shot? Prime David Tua was 100x the puncher (with boxing gloves) of Kimbo. Lennox's chin was occasionally suspect. Yet what happened when they fought?

    Wlad would keep Kimbo on the end of his jab/jab-hook, and clinch whenever they got close. Rinse and repeat for about 3-4 rounds until Kimbo is gassed, then unleash the straight right. Game over. Wlad would hardly break a sweat.



    Obviously if Wlad went all-out offense from round 1 they would both have an equal chance of winning, in fact I'd probably favour Kimbo. It would just come down to who lands first.

    But that is the difference between fighting the MMA brawlers/street thugs that Kimbo has fought, and elite boxers. Wlad would fight HIS fight, not Kimbos. Elite boxers can tailor their tactics to cancel out their opponents.

    Wlad by mid-round KO.

    Some people have absolutely no respect for boxing, to even hint at the possibility Kimbo beats Klitschko. Shaw better order that custom made XXL coffin in advance, he gets destroyed in one round if this ever happened.

    Lets see Kimbo even beat someone the likes of Brian Minto before we decided to make him a sacrificial lamb for Klitschko.

    It's nice to see credible posters like TeeEffEffPee and diaomandDave know what would happen in this instance. :yep

    He might make it into the top 500.

    As I said before. If Kimbo steps into a ring with Klitschko he doesn't step out. He leaves in a body bag.

    Shaw also said Lacy would knock Calzaghe out. He's a fool!

    Give shaw a break his job is to promote and that is all he is trying to do get public interest in Kimbo, though I think its safe to say we all know what Kimbo will do when faced with a skilled boxer, he will resort to grabbing you around the neck until you cant breath no matter if your in your mid or late 40's he knows better.

    He's also a salesman of sorts - albeit an unconvincing one. :yep
