    I completely agree Reed. Can Kimbo be successful in boxing? Yeah, maybe, if by success you mean he can make some good money and a decent living. If you mean have a respectable career as a serious boxer then I'd say hell no. The dude seems to be chinny as fuck, he's already pretty old, and he may have stamina issues. I think he should go the Mesi rout and pretend to be a serious fighter while fooling his fans and beating up tomato cans. If he could still retain some of the many fans he made during MMA and from his internet fights he could make some good coin. Hell, I'd even watch, but he could never be taken seriously.

    I think the yard is, and always will be Kimbo's domain. Regulation doesn't suit him.

    Mesi would KILL Kimbo. Even with a brain clot............Mesi would KILL Kimbo. Even being inactive............Mesi would KILL Kimbo.

    I don't even like Mesi..............but he would KILL Kimbo.

    The main prob is his chin.
    Honestly, I would not be surprised to see him K.O'ed by a jab.

    There's not a chance in hell for Kimbo if he takes up boxing. Just look at his yard fights - he's hitting those useless idiots bare-fisted and most of them come back for more.

    We all know what would happen if an elite professional boxer in the heavier weights hit some guy on the street with his bare fists - coma and death.

    I can't stand all these idiots from other sports turning to boxing for a quick buck. May they all go fuck themselves.:fightme:
