kimbo will not do well in boxing! journeyman seth P. knocked him out with a jab! come on gary!
This is exactly what boxing, and especially the HW division, DOESNT need.
Let Evander have him. PPV for $60. The final nail.
Well damn, that Audley Harrison fight is already signed ;D
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
Anyone fancy a bet it's Toney v Kimbo first up?
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" ...... :vd: 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 exampleQuote:

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.
hahahaha
Kimbos a bum
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.
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.
Career ;DQuote:

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.
yeah hummm.. you have a point here hehe, let's call it "age fighting limits" :)Quote:

Not sure Mercer could still get a boxing licence though.
Someone mentioned Evander but IMO that would be risking Kimbo's life. Evander may be an old guy but he's in shape and is a true legend. He would cause serious damage to Kimbo.
Here's something else Gary Shaw says, "Om nom nom nom nom, lies, nom nom."
Its pretty sad when guys who can't cut it in MMA are coming over to boxing.
Like said previously, Kimbo is a big guy who can throw big punches, but he's relatively old, has stamina issues and has NO chin. Watch his fight with Seth Petruzelli. Seth is a 205lb guy, who knocked Kimbo out with a jab while he had one foot in the air.
I can see the headlines next month BTW...
DAVID HAYE AGREES TO FIGHT KIMBO SLICE
I doubt Haye would fight his own brother lol.Quote:

Boxing is a big tent, there's no limit to who gets fights providing you pass a physical (in most places). UFC is very exclusive, they do try and take the "best of the best" but they've had their trouble trying to grow the sport in certain weight classes and with certain fighters that are difficult to make contracts with.Quote:

Even if he cut to cruiserweight he'd have trouble vs their top level guys.
Look at it this way....who do you have in a Kimbo Slice-Brian Minto fight?
Kimbo wouldn't go 2 rounds with Minto IMOQuote:

I mean who here would pick Kimbo to beat Cliff Couser ?
I sure wouldn't.
...now that you mention it I do begin to question my previous statement...but hell there are so many titles, I figured he could at least pick one offQuote:
