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.
Your trying to make Thompson and Alexander sound like world beaters!

Thompson was well past it when he fought Kimbo. Even when he was in pride he couldn't string together a decent set of wins.

When was Houston Alexander ever in the top 10? Never!!!!

Mind you I would pick him over Audley.
Actually Houston was top 10 in the UFC after his back to back wins over Jardine and Sakara, but then was Ko'd against Thiago Silva and well that was pretty much the end of his significance in MMA, he went 1-3 going into the Slice fight, 2 of his losses by KO and a submission loss all in the first
Agreed Houston was a bad man when he beat Jardine that was savage.
