We all seen what happens when Kimbo fights a genuine boxer(Mercer10yrs past his prime). Kimbo goes straight for the takedown and chokehold. He wouldnt be able to trade with the top dogs in the heavyweight division. Definetly a good street fighter but pro boxing is a whole different ballgame.
Eric Crumble, Jeremy Bates, Malcolm Tann, Demetrice King and a bunch of other journeymen would toy with him and knock him pretty bad.. Regarding stamina, I know he trains MMA full tim right now but still, MMA fighters stamina is **** compared to boxers..
I agree, I have a friend that does MMA pretty much 24/7 and I do boxing. I haven't had a chance to train as often as I want because of work...and even still I have better stamina that he does....I know there are different factors when it comes to stamina...but MMA fighter don't train to be able to go the distance, that's why you see them hugging each other on the ground all the time... Regarding Kimbo in boxing...no chance in hell, he'll get ktfo...
But if got a promoter... and got brought along like every other decent fighter gets brought along, by the time hes 11-0 or so, and has boxing down a bit... why would guys like mesi, brock, or monte, be any better then him? ya.... as of NOW they would whoop his ass in a fistfight, but if you brought him along like normal.... by the time he had two years or so in the sport, why WOULDNT he be on their level? what is brock or monte so good at, that Kimbo would get his ass beat?
That video never gets old. Gannon beat his ass even though his friends tried to help him multiple times during the fight.
Id Pick someone like Margo to KO him. He is simply not boxing level in terms of boxing skills, hence why he went to MMA and not boxing despite more money being on boxing? Hence why he practiced grappling against a very old Mercer when he chose to box all his other street opponents?
so would shaq and michael strahan your talking about a person who isnt a boxing going against THE #1-5 Heavyweights in the world... of course hes going to lose
