I've never really understood this guy. He fights unskilled obese "fighters." He fought an out of shape cop who had mma experience and beat him even though they couldn't go to the ground. Put him in a ring and see what happens. Sure this guy could murder me in seconds, but he is nothing but hype/humor.
He didn't win the Gannon fight, have you even see it?
that first dude didn't even throw a punch. the guy's obviously a solid fighter, but damn someone needs to give him a challenge.
bf, how do you think he'd do in an actual sanctioned fight against a real competitor? it's hard to say if he's got the skill, but that gannon fight lasted forever, so he's probably got the physical ability.
Perhaps I imagined this.... I watched the fight a long time ago and Kimbo's camp kept interfering. From my memory Kimbo lost to the fat cop. Did he somehow win and I can't remember this?

exactly what i was thinking, sure he could kick my ass, also the guy's probably on something

that's because kimbo kept trying to shoot in, with all the wrestling skill of a grizzly bear. i haven't seen it in a while, but i remember kimbo tried an absolutely awful takedown and then gannon got him in a guillotine, then suddenly kimbo's crew rushed in and started calling foul. gannon knocked him out despite having kimbo repeatedly cheating and his crew jumping in.
Yeah, what's funny is the rules laid down before the fight were no take downs and grappling bullshit and 5 seconds in Kimbo comes for a take down. If it was an MMA fight, Gannon wins right there.
well what is kimbo? he's a dude who was in prison for 10 years and spent most of his time boxing. so sure he's tough as a coffin nail to steal a term from snatch, and he clearly knows how to box halfway decently, but his competition isn't exactly top of the roster. maybe he really is a great fighter, but so far it looks like they just got guys off the street.
let me catch my breath nikka!.......
if you had an extra 10 grand would you fight him?
For 10 grand I'd probably fight him.not me bro!

no no what i meant if you had 10 grand to loose ;)
unless it was a bar fight or I could wrestle him, theres no way i would square off with that crazy f**k!
I just read the kimbo thread in the mma boar,d and I almost fall off my chair from laughing at the realkarates comment on how kimbo could beat Liddel or Ortiz ::)
The funny thing is that I'm pretty sure Liddell walks around near 230 pounds so Kimbo wouldn't even have a gigantic size gap on him.exactly!.........
Liddell by eye-gouge anyway!
Kimbo wins fights because he's a mean and aggressive guy. You can have all the training and "skills" in the world, but if you aren't aggressive and don't have a knockout punch someone like Kimbo will kick your ass every time.
i read on another board (meaning this is probably bullshit), that kimbo's usually tweaked on pcp when he fights which is why he doesn't react at all to getting hit.
Chuck isn't anywhere near 230. He's 6'2'' 205 according to bios.
Kimbo is way bigger and way stronger. 6'2'' 260, roided out with an iron jaw.
But yes, against someone in his weightclass he would be submitted easily. The Gannon fight proved that. Tank would be a good opponent for him. Sapp would beat him. Tank claims a 245 and 3 streetfighting record lol.
Dude, Chack weighs 230 before cutting. Chack has an iron jaw as well. Chack would MURDER Kimbo. WITHOUT the thumbs.

Fair enough.Kimbo has no skills what so ever....... chuck would destroy him
You say a 225 pound Chuck could beat a 260 pound Kimbo.
I say it's 50/50.
Chuck proved his standup defense is (relatively)weak when he stepped into Pride and fought Rampage Jackson (a mid carder), and was soundly defeated by punches. Against someone like Kimbo, a guy that would press him and constantly punch, I think the Rampage scenario could repeat.

This is the fight that probably spurned the PCP rumour.
He takes 3 unblocked haymakers without being phased the slightest.
"Is that all you got ni**a? It's over!" lol
Still, there's no proof. Nobody would no something like that for sure unless they saw it happen.
hahaha.
Yes, that's what I was thinking too.
If he's on something it's not PCP.
I saw that cops episode btw. ;D
There was some crazy black guy on that stuff that came into Denny's once. He was wearing a shower curtain. When the cops came it took 4 of them to subdue him and they were pretty bloodied.
Another time, this brother was at the local Burger king making threatening gestures with a serrated knife...
He was tased, but he TOOK THE KNIFE AND STARTED CUTTING THE WIRE lol!!!
I shit you not. They shot him.
Did you see the one (CopS show) where the guy was near naked (white guy) and they sent the dogs after him and he grabbed the dogs and choked and threw one over the fence. That was awesomeYeah I remember that. he also was whipping the cops asses!... that dude was a big boy, and was def high on something>
