Welcome to SaddoBoxing.
In a ring or Tyson Fury's back yard? ;D
You know I just checked his record to see how much he's weighing and apparently he was 244 for his last fight up from 227 on his debut.
Obviously Fury is well above him and that fight would be a mismatch. I don't think it's out of the question if he wins a few more however for him to be on a future International Prizefighter comp like the one Mike Perez just won.
Maybe a fight with Big Sky Tye Fields could be interesting down the line.
I wouldn't totally rule out a clash with Holyfield either.
My bet for big name future opponents for him over the next two years or so are as follows;
Ray Mercer, a natural choice, rematch of their MMA fight where Kimbo won
Hasim Rahman, I can easily pictue him taking on a +300lb plodding version of the Rock in early 2013
Audley Harrison. That man has no pride, he could easily be sold into thinking a fight with Kimbo is a possible way back to his heavyweight world title dream :-X
Brian Neilson, Came out of a decade retirement, he'd step in with Kimbo I reckon
Francois Both, again, like Neilson he'd love to be the name draw in a fight with Kimbo I'd imagine
Tye Fields, another fight that would sell
Kevin Mcbride, Tyson conquerer, and probably the most winnable fight for Kimbo out of these
Andrew Golota, come on, I bet everyone would secretly be curious about how this would go down!
I'm not sure Kimbo could win any of these fights, I think McBride is possible over a short distance, we'll have to see how he goes when faced with somebody who can punch back. But I have to say I'm interested to see how his career goes.
It doesn't matter that he's nowhere near world class. He's just entertainment and I'd happily watch all of the above matchups.
Bilbo, Im surprised you wasted your time typing that out..
Kimbo is way to old to be taking up any kind of boxing career of significance.
Dewey Bozella has better technique
If Fury didn't get sparked within the first 2 rounds, kimbo wouldn't make it past 5 rounds.
I just have a feeling kimbo is just going to keep knocking out bums for the next couple of years and then he finally will step it up after having a record of 30-0 with 30 stoppages then he will face someone who has a chin and can go past 4 rounds then kimbo will get KTFO.
However, I will enjoy watching these first round stoppages on YouTube whilst they last. They are fairly brutal and entertaining.
Kimbo Slice; This decades King of the 4 Rounders, Fury beats him and so does alot of fighters on Bilbos list. But I would like to see him fight a Ray Mercer rematch. Or bring Butterbean out of retirement and have them fight.

How bout lets get decent fights for real boxers before we start putting on side shows with guys fighting bears, mma fighters and rugby players. And we wonder how promoters get away with making millions off ten dollar events. How bout they fight on the deck of a aircraft carrier too since we are more interested in an event that we are the actual fight.
Sign me up for the air craft carrier idea !Quote:

I'd rather watch Kimbo Slice vs Tye Fields than I would Yusaf Mack vs Rubin Williams, or Juan Urango vs Lamont Peterson for example and I'm guessing so would a lot of people.
Butterbean had a great run as a 6 round super heavyweight attraction, and even ended up with a fight with Larry Holmes. Sure he wasn't a serious boxer, but as a bit of circus it's a fun event. If Kimbo is able to prove he's competent enough I'd love to see him against all the guys I mentioned above.
The fact they aren't world class fighters is irrelevent to me. I'm not elitist, I just like a good honest, evenly matched scrap.
Yes I can see your point some people are boxing snob's not all ,Kimbo V Fury yes why not mismatch could be yes I would like to see that fight;D
One of Kimbos biggest problems in MMA was his awful conditioning.
I thought he would do decent in Mma, I like the entertainment value of Slice quite a bit..
No conditioning in boxing spells ultimate disaster

He'll likely be a 6 round attraction and a fun one for a while.
True, and if he lands a decent fight with a contender 10 rounds won't matter since everyone will understand he will knock the guy out or get knocked out himself
Kimbo fears Mighty Mike.
why not good money fight for both.
I would like to see Kimbo get knocked out by any of those guys....Or run over by a truck....or tazered..it would all be jolly good fun!;DQuote:

Tyson fury and Kimbo slice are both big hitters. Tyson fury is the biggest name in British heavyweight boxing and it's fair to say kimbo is the the most well known American heavyweight that can attract a big audience on the screens and sell seats at a big venue. I hope we do see this fight after Tyson beat an unknown Canadian fighter. I think this is a big fight for early 2012 as both men are hungry for success and I believe that this will be an electric build up also for a fight that millions will love to see. Briton watched Tyson fury beat up two guys on British tv with viewers totaling
10 million plus but the Kimbo fight should get double that amount in uk alone and us boxing fans would have a treat if this fight was pulled of. I guess it's just down to the promoters and the money because the Kimbo and Tyson would say yes all day long to this fight!!!
After watching the first and second round of Kimbos latest fight against someone making their pro debut! I have no doubt that given 2 months notice that even now Tyson would ruin him!
Like I say, the bloke that Kimbo fought was making his pro debut, both were knackered in the first! In the second Kimbo gets rocked and holds on for the rest of the round but does manage to win on points after 4 rounds. Fast and powerfull Kimbo certainly isnt. Im not sure he even trains? He has no skill really and making your way up the ladder and trying to look impressive, youd at least try and be fit. Even if your throwing sloppy haymakers and falling off balance, you shouldnt be knackered before the end of the first!
Hes going nowhere and I bet Gary Shaw is already rethinking his next opponent who has only 2 fights but wan them both, even if it was a few years ago!;D Check out Kevin Ferguson on boxrec. He will be in with an ex middleweight come February;)
Wanna see Tyson Fury fight Chesora again. Dont wanna see kimbo slice fight anyone. He might as well go back to youtube videos of him beating on some of his wimpy friends.
What a dick head! Rather than start another thread about this waste of space "Kimbo" I searched his name and this thread came up and I didnt read the title properly and thought it was Mike Tyson!;D
Mike Tyson needs 2 months notice, Tyson Fury needs 2 hours notice!;D
Fury has bigger businesses to handle and he dont have time for small fishes like Kimbo..
If they fought though, Kimbo would get his ass beat severely and it would look something like this.
