    I think we finally fully agree on something.
    Bowe has the right to do whatever he wants, until someone puts a stop to it and won't grant him a license.

    So until the guy is deemd unfit to fight by someone with more authority than me and you, let the man fight.

    I think he'll get hurt as well, but he is obviously going to have to find that out, first hand, right?

    Kimbo slice is not a good MMA fighter. Not good atal. So if u gave bowe time to get down to a decent weight. Plus gave him alot of MMA training he should win. But he needs to get decent training in.

    I wish he didnt have to fight to make money, but he obviously does. Everyone that says he shouldnt fight arent paying the mans bills or his kids child support, Bowe probably has no other choice but to fight.

    I don't think he was actually fighting. Just he said he could fight after Dana White challenged Floyd

    Sad news...

    :-(

    I think a lot of people forget how awesome Bowe once was.

    Sad. He's going to end up wandering around a street without a dime to his name.
     
  11. Kimbo has been getting a lot of run lately even Showtime is pimping him, he blasted Ray Mercer in under 5 minutes so the guy is legit, and when was the last time Bowe was at a decent weight?? 10 years ago?? sorry to say the man is 40 years old and has brain damage it's hard to see him involved in anything with contact..

    "Look what happened to Botha, he wasn't competitive in MMA"

    As if he was still competitive in boxing.

    Two things happened.

    1. The dude he was going to fight, sherk i think, said he didnt want to fight him because he didnt know who he was, that he would only fight mayweather (something tells me sherk caught wind of how devestating a puncher cintron was, and those MMA guys cant block or take a punch very well, and he found out that Cintron placed very high in the nationals of collegiate wrestling, so he actually posed a threat, as opposed to Floyd mayweather, who would not pose any threat in MMA)

    2. Cintron found out that they dont require as complete blood tests for MMA as they do for boxing and didnt want to risk anything healthwise. Also, he would be taking a big pay cut for nothing, really. Stay with manny, keep developing, that's what i say, knock paul williams silly. Thats my 2 cents.

    WAR CINTRON!

    Indeed. He should go to MMA and ruin their sport, instead of ours. Go Bowe! ?
