Well thats not entirely accurate, it seems some boxing fans want to remember Kimbo's mma career as a total bust or something, but it was not.
He won an exhibition against Ray Mercer but that was probably his weakest win next to Tank Abbott.
In Kimbo's first pro mma fight he ran right over former Gladiator Challenge Champion, Bo Cantrell.
He also had a bloody war beating Britain's own James "Collossus" Thompson, who is a pretty good top 20 ish in the world heavyweight, who holds wins over Don Frye, Bobby Lashley and Bob Sapp.
Furthermore Kimbo beat top 10 205lber Houston Alexander in a boring fight.
And 2 of his 3 losses came against world class UFC heavyweights. His other loss against Seth Petrezelli which was embarassing as the smaller man caught him with a glancing blow on the chin.
