    I have Matrione by Ko1 by if Kimbo wins who can he beat in the hw division?

    Kimbo vs Carwin
    Kimbo vs JDS
    Kimbo vs Cro Cop
    Kimbo vs Brock
    Kimbo vs Randy Couture
    Kimbo vs James Toney
    Kimbo vs Nelson
    Kimbo vs Kongo
    Kimbo vs Cain
    Kimbo vs Frank Mir
    Kimbo vs NOG
    Kimbo vs Gonzaga

    Can Kimbo beat anyone of those guys? I think he takes down Toney and beats him. If Randy is stupid enough to stand and trade he might beat Randy. That's pretty much it I think. What do you think?

    None of the above except Toney.

    He could beat Kongo and that's a 50/50 fight.

    No way! Did you see Kongo's last fight? He fought a striker better than Kimbo in Paul Buentenelo and Kongo just kept taking him down and pounding him. He would do the exact same thing to Kimbo only Kimbo would not last as long

    I wouldn't pick Kimbo against anyone in that list, incuding Kongo. He COULD win that fight. It would be the most winnable fight for him since Kongo cracks under pressure. Kongo was having problems with Al-Turk for goodness' sake.

    Toney is WAY more winnable for Toney. I actually think he would beat Toney easy by going to the ground ala Mercer fight.

    Kongo would destroy Kimbo in 1.

    ....was he?...my memory of that fight was that Al-Turk was embarrassingly over matched and Kongo put a beating on him.

    Actually Toney would probably be best to punch himself in the face if he wanted any hope of defeating himself.

    Even a fat, shot Toney should handle a guy like Kimbo, no?

    We should swap houses for a week. You can come down to Florida and bake in the sun. I can go to Canada and get fat, become an alcholic, and forget how to shower.

    :lol: Deal. I would suggest January or February so you get a good break from the cold. And I can return with frostbite, an obsession for bacon, and a sled dog or two.

    Kimbo has zero chance against any of them except Toney, which, like was already said, would go down like the Mercer fight.

    He wasn't, Joe King was talking out of ignorance, as usual.

    I thought Turk did better but after re-watching it, he lost badly. Kongo didn't impress too much either. That's why I say Kimbo would have a chance with Kongo, but I'd still pick Kongo over him. That's all I'm saying. Let's not split hairs over the fact that Kimbo would get stopped against any top 10 heavyweight.

    I was wrong. He's not even 50/50 with Kongo:laughing::laughing::laughing:

    And despite the Mercer fight, it just kind of seems impossible that Kimbo would be able to beat Toney in any way, even the fat, washed up Toney.

    I honestly don't mind Kimbo, but he just can't fight really. At backyard level, sure, he's great, against the average tough guy on the street, but as a pro fighter he's simply not good enough.

    He doesn't even have good skills with his hands.

    Was Kimbo crying after his loss?

    He should have never left his backyard roots, he was making good money and had a bright future, now...he's been exposed and all those backyard bums aren't going to be so afraid of him if he tries to go back to his roots. I think his career is over. Maybe he can become a commentator or something.

    Personally I think he's just too old. He gases like a V-12 or something. Either he isn't running during training, he's too old, or he gets too excited during a fight. I think it's age and I have no idea how he was going to play pro football with those girly lungs of his.
