    I think Mosely is big enough that he'd kick the **** out of Ray but Kimbo is about 60 pounds heavier. I think Kimbo is just to big for Mosely and just skilled enough that he'd beat him.

    Mosley would abuse Kimbo's body and make him quit. Not to mention Kimbo wouldn't be able to lay a hand on Mosley.

    Guys, let's be realistic here. Kimbo destroys Shane Mosley in a boxing match. The man is TOO big, strong, and actually he is very skilled with his hands. Mosley would be so far within Kimbo's punching range in order to land anythin himself.

    Kimbo on the pads and bag..... isn't as if he is a novice.

    Yea... Mosley is just going to get inside and do all kinds of body work... Of course Kimbo would just allow Mosley to be well within his punching range, while Shane's head is there to be punched as he goes to the body.

    Do you have any idea it is to hit cleany a world class boxer like Mosley? Kimbo would be in for a huge surprise if he ever laced up the gloves and got into a ring with the likes of Mosley. He would be beaten to the punch countered to death with his wide looping shots get hit to the body repeatedly. Kimbo ain't hurting Mosley with those wide arm punches. Not to mention he'll be gassed after 4 rounds and Mosley would finish him off after that. He can't avoid Mosley's shots and after a while especially the body shots will take their toll. Size doesn't mean **** especially when we're talking about a world class boxer against a crude street fighter in a boxing match.:deal If this was a street fight I could see your point but in a boxing match against an elite boxer like Mosley Kimbo is ****ed.

    widdow you should watch pros vs joes, arturro gatti looked like floyd mayweather against these average joes, they werent able to land a punch!

    although bimbo slice is alittle better, shane would kick that gorrilas ass, bimbo's telegraphed punches cant do ****.

    You act as if Kimbo is a skilled counter puncher or something he wouldn't catch Mosley with anything.:deal These MMA types are crude boxers at best.

    do you really think mosley would keep his head still enough for kimbo to land his looping right?

    kimbo makes margarito look like a skilled boxer.

    Yeah that gatti **** was funny as ****! Gatti looked like the second coming of SRL in that ****.:lol: People who have never been in the ring have no idea how hard it is to land a clean shot on a pro boxer is.

    Some people are obsessed with big biceps.

    They assume that because some roid head is built like a brick shithouse that he's automatically going to wipe out a world class boxer.

    Mosley would box Kimbo's ears off and make him quit.

    I don't want to get into another argument in this thread, I have enough irritating **** going on around me here at work.. :yep

    But a couple of points here - Mosley's head movement hasn't been that great lately, and would Kimbo even need to land a "clean" shot? :think

    Ummm... Kimbo doesn't throw wide looping shots. As a matter of fact, he just knocked Tank out with a straight right hand.
    I don't get where all of these "Wide looping shots" remarks come from.

    Watch his last fight. Straight jab... and every right hand that he throws is down the pipe, unless it is one of his solid uppercuts.

    We aren't talking about some dude who was good at basketball in high school, that let himself go and is fighting Gatti on Pros vs Joes. Can you imagine Gatti trying to bomb with Kimbo?:admin We are talking about a guy who has been training for years now in fighting, is very big, and has very good hands. Kimbo trained in boxing long before he ever showed up on those street fighting videos. His "street fighter" moniker is just great for his publicity. The man is WELL TRAINED.

    It's not really about that at all. Louis Monaco is built like a tank, but is an awful boxer.

    But is Kimbo really that bad? Like I said earlier, I'd take a smaller & more skilled fighter over a larger & less skilled fighter 99 times out of 100. I'd also take any journeyman HW over Kimbo 100 times out of 100.

    But I'm just not sure about this example.

    Shane drives a overhand right home or beats the drum on him and Kimbo is sprawling on the floor - it is insane to think otherwise with boxing rules...
