You're right I don't think he beats any of those guys. Maybe Hasim Rahman would be a decent fight and Kimbo would have a decent punchers chance against him at this stage of his career, but most likely not.


Shit, I honestly don't know if he'd get past Tyson Fury (the guy in my sig) or even Tye Fields. Damn Kimbo vs Tye Fields would be AWESOME!

20 of those 30 would be such a beat down it would make boxing look barbaric.

Haha, I thought about Tye Fields too. That would be a good one.

I would even take the top crop at light heavy to beat Kimbo. 2 rounds of pot shots and good movement...gas him...then unleash furious combos. Ref waives it off with one arm since the other one is holding the boxer back.

hahah, I thought you meant top 30 in MMA. I was like "are there even that many top MMA fighters above Kimbo?".

I agree. Boxing's roster is deep.

haha, sadly you're right. Bhop would school kimbo. Chad Dawson & Glen Johnson would probably knock him out.

I'm not hatin on kimbo either its just the truth. I would want him to succeed but he just got involved professionally waaaaay to late. If he started earlier in life he could have been a decent heavyweight or cruiser, even with a glass jaw. His build (and chin) kinda reminds me of Bert Cooper. He could have had a career like that I bet.

^^Oh fasho Cooper would fuck Kimbo up (even now I bet, lol). Cooper was involved in a couple of my favorite heavyweight fights - against Michael Moore and Holyfield. CLASSICS! Damn those were entertaining fights.

And I think he fucked his career with a bad drug habit if I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty sure he was a coke head.

Bert Cooper vs Michael Moorer
