Kimbo Slice is too old for fighting?

Question

He is no where near as good as people say he is but he is a halfway decent fighter. Don't get me wrong I just think he is too old. He is no Randy Cotoure or anything. I think he only has 2 or 3 more years of fighting but he has fought no one that I am impressed with. I am tired of the hype.

Answer 1

I don't believe age is his worst attribute. I think it's a shame that he has gotten into the game this late, because if he had the proper training over the years he'd be a beast.

You can't take years of drinking, smoking dope and the unhealthy lifestyle he has lived.  I give him a lot of props, because he really does have a great story. He came from nothing, survived a hurricane and is now getting paid big bucks.

So, no not too old.. just too late :)

Answer 2

he is a decent fighter for the experience he has and he hasn't fought any real opponents yet we will see how he does once he starts fighting some of the top contenders

Answer 3

You can feel free to get in the ring and tell him that.

Answer 4

kim-joke slice!! he needs to fight a great fight so he can really get an @ss kickin'

Answer 5

Dan Severn is 54 years old and still fighting.

Answer 6

The fact that he's fighting now goes to show that he's not too old. He would be better right now if he had started his Career about 10 years sooner. Couture was in his early/mid thirties when he started MMA, and has had a legendary Career. But of course, he isn't a normal human being.

Answer 7

Yes he is too old.

Half of the answers on this site about Kimbo Slice have some form of "give him 2 or 3 years and he will be better" failing to realize he doesnt have that kind of time. That puts him at 37 years old.

People cannot fight at the top levels at that age. Randy Couture has but he is a legend and even he admits he only has one or two more fights left in him (which is why he is willing to leave UFC to get his fight with Fedor).

His one saving grace is that he fights so many TERRIBLE fighters he hasnt gotten battered and bruised like Randy or Shamrock or others who have mangaged to amazingly fight off age.
