Kimbo Slice

[Knuckles&Knees]

Anyone think Kimbo Slice might ever be matched up against Bob Sapp (he's still fighting yes?), if so any thought on who might have the better chance at winning?

Kimbo is a better fighter than what he use to be. Very dangerous man now.

I'd like to see a fight against Bob Sapp, because it would be like watching two of the very same guy fighting. I think it would come down to endurance, since Bob Sapp has not shown a great chin in the past, and Kimbo has shown a good deal of frustration by anything even remotely resembling the ground. It would be a fun fight to watch, anyway.

Yeah, he certainly isn't what you would call A level, but as you recognize neither is Bob Sapp. lol

Kimbo has great power though. His fist, that is his knuckles, are just large intimidating, gnarly things themselves. He has the punchers power to knock out any A level fighter in boxing or MMA I believe.

Prior to him learning how to fight with anything but his two hands I was pretty confident an uncle of mine could have beaten him (if given the chance). But now that he fights with his elbows, knees, can grapple and kick I don't think my uncle would be able to defeat him. The professional training has helped Kimbo a lot (not that it would otherwise).

In an interview Kimbo said he once tried out for the Miami Dolphins. Sapp was a former football player and it would be interesting if these mammoth men from the football world started entering into MMA.

Yeah, Kimbo Vs Sapp would be a fight worth seeing. I think Kimbo would stand an incredibly good chance, like mentioned sapp didnt have the greatest chin, kimbo can punch very hard, but yeah... whoever gets worn out first I reckon considering they are both pretty much sluggers.

When has he fought a B level fighter? He fought and beat one D level foe in Ray mercer. But Mercer was 72.
Slice wouldnt last 5 minutes with a c level grappler like Pedro Rizzo. Come to think of it like Sapp he should fight smaller guys and get humiliated. LIke Hideo Tokoro!

If Brock beats Mir, and Kimbo beats Tank, have Brock vs. Kimbo!
