Kimbo Slice vs. Mike Tyson???

Question

I dont think the fight will happen because if Tyson wins, Kimbo's career is over.

Instead of an octogon they should fight in a parking lot in front of a strip club.

Answer 1

Jrooker, Kimbo does not, never has, and never will hit as hard as Tyson.  I've seen Tyson knock guys flat out unconscious.  I'm not talking, "help me I'm scared Bo Cantrell" knockouts, I'm talking knockouts where you wonder if the guy is dead.  

In a standup, bareknuckle fight, even a fat 42 year-old Tyson would knock Kimbo senseless in less that 30 seconds.

Answer 2

two words fellas.

leg kicks

Answer 3

Kimbo Slice got his start beating idiot street fighters who couldn't fight for c**p. He's not that good. I don't know why people make him out to be the best thing out there. He's Tank Abbott in his youth. Entertaining to watch, but the majority of fighters out there are better.

Mike Tyson is way past his prime, so he'd lose to Kimbo anyway though.

Mike Tyson in his prime would destroy him though. Kimbo prefers to stay standing up in MMA fights, so it'd pretty much be a boxing match, and Mike Tyson would have known his stuff. I would go with a young Mike Tyson in a street fight too.

Too bad old age and stupidity had to end Mikey's career. .

Answer 4

I'll give you 4 reasons why Kimbo is going to win:

(1) Kimbo is 2 dimensional (Tyson 1); being he knows how to box a little (in a natural way; not a pro boxing way)--even though he's to stiff with it; and also, he knows how to grapple in a martial arts way--not a natural way; being trained by martial artist and hardcore fighter--Bas Rutten.

(2) He's bigger and taller than Tyson--which will play to his advantage.

(3) He hits  slightly harder than Tyson.

(4) He's more tanacious and driven than Tyson; also, has a higher threshold for pain than Tyson.

Answer 5

Kimbo Slice

First of all: Mike Tyson is terrible, his last couple fights he's gotten knocked out by bozos.

Second of all: MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fighters are much more well-rounded, where as a boxer only has one dimension (striking). If they fought, Slice would take Tyson straight to the ground and break his leg, arm, etc.

Answer 6

Kimbo would win. Kimbo isn't stupid enough to fight Mike Tyson in a boxing match. He would quickly look for the takedown, get the mount and pound Tyson out, or look for the rear naked choke.

He will try to repeat what he did to Ray Mercer.

In the Mercer fight, Kimbo went for the takedown, and Ray got up. Then Kimbo utilized the Muay Thai clinch and used an elbow, couple of knees and body shots.

To Mercer's credit, he did weather the storm, and defended himself pretty well. He didn't really get hurt from Kimbo's strikes. If Mercer knew anything about grappling, the fight would've gone differently.

So Kimbo against Mike Tyson.... Kimbo will play it smart, and go for the takedown. Tyson is a much more dangerous striker than Kimbo and Mercer combined.

Answer 7

20 years ago, I'd give it to Tyson no question.  Kimbo has never fought a million dollar fight in his life.

Right now in 2008, Ferguson.  Mike Tyson doesn't have the mental composure to take on some one like Kimbo who trains 6 days a week to fight professional athletes.

Answer 8

The fight isn't going to happen because Tyson is washed up. Plus this is MMA not a boxing ring. In my opinion neither fighter bwelongs in this sport.
