Kimbo slice vs. mike Tyson...WHY!?

Question

why is this match up being talked about. tyson has not been relevent in the ring since 2001. and why is kimbo being fed a steady diet of weak opponents and has beens.

if this guy is the 2nd coming match him up with fedor. then we will see how good he is.

Answer 1

Never heard anyone even suggest that.  Tyson retired and the age difference is pretty big.  Kimbo fought professionally once in HDNet so..... yeah hes just getting started.

Answer 2

The hype machine. It would make a mockery of both boxing and mma though.

Answer 3

I don't think the Tyson fight will ever happen.  

Kimbo vs Fedor?  Fedor wouldn't fight Kimbo because Kimbo doesn't deserve to be in the ring with Fedor.  

Pretty much ever HW in MMA wants to fight Fedor right now.

Answer 4

i would love to see that fight

Answer 5

Kimbo has great talents but he's just getting a started. but just see, a few years from now he's gonna be the king.

Answer 6

Tyson couldnt even beat Kevin Mcbride... a big slow journeyman fighter, and that was a few years ago.... Kimbo is not much, but he is way better than Tyson is at this point... dont get me wrong... Tyson was great.... 15 years ago

Answer 7

so far its just rumor

Answer 8

LIL MAC > TYSON

LIL MAC > FEDOR

LIL MAC > KIMBO

Answer 9

kimbo is popular not because of his skill, but because of his internet popularity and personality.

he is fighting scrubs to develop his game, he is now training with bas reutten last I heard (has been for some time) and to toss him into a fight with fedor immediately would put him or anyone at a serious disadvantage.

Answer 10

This is only Kimbo Slice 3rd fight and you want him to fight Fedor??? They say Kimbo is good but good for a biginner, he need to climb up the ladder one step at the time. Mike Tyson is just right for him for now. I bet he will take him to the ground like he did against Ray Mercer, he wouldn't dare stand and trade punches with Mike Tyson.

Answer 11

Kimbo likes to stand which is why matching him with Tyson would make things interesting.  But I think Tyson would prevail.

Tyson > Kimbo

Fedor > Kimbo

Fedor > Tyson

Fedor would destroy all of them.  The man has NEVER been knocked out.  Plus Gary Goodridge was a professional boxer before he went to MMA and Fedor demolished him in the exchange.

Answer 12

tyson will probably be in jail, so no worries
