I'm going with Tony: lets see Lesnar and Kimbo throw down already. I've been reading around and you can tell that JJ guys hate Kimbo. I often hear that Kimbo wouln't stand a chance against a real MMA fighter; but here's the deal -- Kimbo comes out with heavy hands and a jaw of steel and while a competitor such as Frank Mir would, in my mind, submit him; it might take him a while to get there. look at Mir vs. Lesnar -- Lesnar, was dominating Mir (and I'm a Mir fan btw), and Mir caught him in an x-guard for the kneebar. Great move, but all Lesnar wanted to do was take him down to ground n' pound him which is where Mir wanted to be. All Kimbo wants is to knock the head off of someone, and as long as he learns how to stuff someones shoot - there's a good potential he's going to land a hard shot on someones sweetspot. The guy knows how to take a punch, has good aim, and knows how to overwhelm his opponent. Now I wouldn't classify Kimbo as a martial artist by any means, but I would by all means consider him a fighter.

I think the guys here at "5 ounces" have a higher IQ then those of other sites. KIMBO is being brought up perfectly, he will be a big name legitimate fighter, he has raw talent and power, desire. He looks like he can take a hard shot to the head. He has a tremendous work ethic. What's not to take seriously about him?

Tank is the best test at MMA we have seen for Kimbo to this date. I know for a fact Kimbo wants Sean Gannon. I doubt we will ever see that. EliteXC's Heavy division is kinda slim..... Kimbo will be their champ before the year is out. For me... having met Kimbo, I can relate to him. I too have had somewhat of rags to riches story (okay no riches yet but I am workin on it) Dream Match Up::: KIMBO SLICE vs BROCK LESNAR Both new... Both Monsters... ….

Brock almost beat Frank Mir. Now let’s see Kimbo get presented someone with even a minimal amount of skill. If he can handle that, then he’ll get taken seriously." Have you forgotten that Brock is a CHAMPION NCAA wrestler? Kimbo just won street fights in Perrine for cash. If Kimbo was a CHAMPION boxer, we likely would have seen him debut against a big name. Lets be realistic folks, they're building Kimbo's MMA skills from scratch. Aside from some gifted talent--they're giving Kimbo the experience he needs to be successful. “A couple months ago, all the blogs were whining “How come people take Lesnar seriously but not Kimbo?” Guess what?

We don't watch events just to see the title fights... People want a good brawl. All Kimbo has to do is learn enough skills to protect himself against grapplers and learn to not get gassed, and he will be able to put on some exciting fights for a while.

I agree with you. I'm a new fan of Kimbo and am shocked to see all of the hate spewed all over the mma forums about him. Hopefully he'll eventually earn everybody's respect ... like Sylvia has finally done. I'm rootin' for Kimbo big time. “Handy” Couture
