Kimbo Slice the MMA version of a young George Foreman?

Question

When I think about it, When Foreman was young, he was the meanest,toughest person you could meet, and he wanted to hurt you.

Kimbo is the same way.

what do yall think?

Answer 1

kimbo took too long to come into the game to be considered a young george. I think he is "the Mike rite before he bit off evander's ear"

I respect kimbo though. I mean if he plays his cards rite, he'll be considered a legend.

Answer 2

Kimbo Slice is more like Butterbean was in boxing in the 90's.  They are both only there for show.  Neither could ever beat a  2nd tier fighter.  George Foreman had skill.  Kimbo is just a street fighter who benefited from internet fame.  He doesn't have any fundamental skill, and he will eventually be exposed.

Answer 3

Kimbo slice is a joke. He will never be able to compare with the top dogs in the UFC

Answer 4

lol kimbo is a joke that fought bums on the internet and has like 2 fights with no am career to speak of.  he's just being marketed as a crazy black guy with a huge beard, and people buy into marketing.  seriously, he's actually a joke LOL compared to real mma fighters who are olympic level wrestlers, golden gloves boxers, etc.

if i wanted to be like him, all id need to do is turn black, grow a beard, then go film myself beating up homeless guys at taco bell.

Answer 5

except foreman beat good quality fighters kimbo is nothign more then freak show that is bad for the image of the sport

Answer 6

George back in the day was a super hard hitter, and you can see that with Kimbo also.  Foreman, however, could barely hit you and you felt it, where as Kimbo is more of a  classic fighter, and so he needs a little room to manuever.  Slice isn't the real deal of MMA yet, but with time, he may be. In any case he sells tickets.
