Kimbo slice is coming to boxing so says Gary Shaw

[mellamomarcos]

kimbo will not do well in boxing! journeyman seth P. knocked him out with a jab! come on gary!

[Balboa]

This is exactly what boxing, and especially the HW division, DOESNT need.

Let Evander have him. PPV for $60. The final nail.

[El Kabong]

Well damn, that Audley Harrison fight is already signed

This career change won't last very long, but I do seem to recall certain folks saying he would do very well in boxing....I just don't see it

[skel1983]

Anyone fancy a bet it's Toney v Kimbo first up?

[therealremi]

I guess it should be the other way around - weak or retiring boxers should go to MMA.
Chris Arreola makes some good points:

Kimbo slice will get his freakin ass beat by "c" probably even "d' level fighters his size. This sport is boxing not Ko'ing. Boxing is more than scary looks and backyard training. I still remember him getting beat by dude on national tv by a guy they even taking away half of his attack. I see james toney getting the crap beat out of him too. Then after can we stop all this mma vs boxing junk.

Man you should see some of the MMA boards talking about James Toney like they know a damn thing about the guy. I swear I read this one dude who said and I quote "I can remember Roy Jones Jr. KO-ing James Toney with 12 oz gloves" ...... the sad thing is James Toney IS a great boxer, but #1 he's older and his skills are diminished #2 Dana White is going to use him as an example

As for Kimbo....man, he's just a circus freak. I mean credit to him for finally fighting someone who is prepared to fight, but too little too late and yes guys who have passed any kind of remedial boxing training will be able to outbox him. I will tell you he tries to mimmick Tyson, but he doesn't know how to BOX and he's going to get his ass kicked unless he's carried by Shaw

[Spicoli]

We give mma a legit hall of famer in Toney and they give us a sideshow carnival bust of a Kimbo. Great. Someone needs to smack Shaw with a towel full with jagged rocks if he helps this.

Kimbos a bum

[Hornfinger]

So kimbo get'as ruined in MMA and know whats to get fucked up in boxing?

Ah well The klitscho's will fight him. Anything that might get them back on HBO.

[Nameless]

They will only use his name on some undercard to drag more attention for a short time, Kimbo's 36 or so, his career is at any end almost over anyway.

I don't know why Kimbo doesn't give it a rest and pursue a movie career.

He is a nice enough guy and has a lot of charisma and fans.

I could see him getting some Tex Cobb and Danny Trejo type bad guy roles in movies.

He looks like a bad ass.

Trouble is he doesn't fight like one.
