    Tyson vs. an 8-pound steak would be more entertaining.

    I think at this point, Kimbo kills Mike Tyson. Tyson is beyond shot, and ridiculously out of shape. He's a drug addict, and he doesn't have any fire or desire to fight anymore.

    If he took this fight, he'd be taking it to get a paycheck and nothing else. He wouldn't get in shape, and he'd come out swinging wild haymakers, praying that one of them lands.

    Then, if after 45 seconds he doesn't land a bomb, he'll be totally gassed and he'll look for a soft spot in the ring to lay down.

    Why are we even talking about this? It's not happening. The article clearly states it's a rumor and there are no talks taking place.

    Sapp get's hit and quits if that fight happens. I don't ever want to see Sapp fight again anyway.

    Amazing that a year and a half ago you thought Mercer, who was equally as shot as Tyson, would make easy work of Kimbo.

    But I agree with you. Kimbo is a fighter while Tyson was a fighter. And remember, that's how a ni**a eats.

    I knew this had to be a rumor. I agree with TFK, Mike would lay down and collect if it happened. He's a quitter, nothing more after that beating he took from Lewis...lewis stole his heart out his chess.

    Holyfield took his heart long before that. I still remember Mike looking scared in that fight. When the referee was giving instructions, mike looked like he wanted to cry.

    The worst thing Don King could've done was put Tyson back in there immediately with Holyfield in a rematch. Tyson Camp's excuse for Holyfield's win in the first fight was "Tyson didn't move his head enough!" :dunno:

    Kimbo's mma career will be short lived. Believe that. It's just a matter of time before Gary Shaw is forced to put him in a fight with somebody of any real skill.
    Kimbo really is nothing more than a Houston Alexander/Soukjoudu type. Strong stand up with absolute dogsh*t ability off his back. A JJ fighter of some rank will eat his asshole alive, in the same fashion as Alexander and Soukjoudu suffered at the hands of the brazillians.

    if they match him right he'll keep going..

    Chuck had great wins fighting guys that he could land his haymaykers on.. Kimbo needs to at least learn good takedown defense and he'll be that much more dangerous

    I still say in a STAND UP fight Tyson puts him to sleep
