Kimbo Slice, Legit or Not?

Hi peeps,

Im posting a thread regarding what you all think about KImbo Slice, and whether hes legit, or just EliteXC's money well.

In all honesty I think his fights have been fixed, hes fought chumps, yeah I said it chumps!

Jokes aside I feel his fights have been fixed.

Bo Cantrell
10-11
Style: Pitfighting

Bo said he tapped out of fear, but its pretty obvious after looking at his record the guy has a glass chin, hes been TKO'd 7 times.

Tank Abbot
9-14
Style: Pitfighting

Tank was great back then, however now hes 40, and isn't what he used to be, Tank has 6 Tkos, and hasn't won a fight since beating Cabbage, and that was in 2005...But granted his age & style it makes sense, again Kimbo was hand-fed this opponent.

James Thomspon
14-9
Style: Freestyle

Thompson has been TKO'd 8 times, his record screams he has a glass chin. It took Kimbo 3 damn rounds to make his ear pop off, and for the ref to jump in, It shuld've been stopped in Round 2, since the rules state when a fighter isnt intelligently defending himself the fight is stopped, Kimbo didnt do anything except eat elbows, but thats not the point, alot of Thompsons opponents have KO'd him in round 1, Kimbo made him wobble, but thats about it.

In the end Kimbo's opponents all have 1 remarkable trait, they all get KO'd easily, and ultimately the fans love to see people get KO'd, and what better way to bolster Kimbos career? Its kinda lame how hes not even a middle-tier fighter and has more people who know who he is. Recently a very pissed off Jeff Monson posted a video saying he wants Kimbo, The snowman would own Kimbo.

I don't hate Kimbo, in fact I think hes very humble, and hes admitted that he is still learning, and claims that he isn't a great fighter yet, Which is admirable, so who ultimately ruins it for Kimbo? Some(not all) of his fanbois, some of them claim hes god, the best p4p fighter, and that annoys true MMA fans like me, why because Kimbo is a nice guy, but he isn't a match for Fedor(yes i read a fanboi who said Kimbo would KTFO Fedor), when I asked him who Fedor was, he(assuming it was a he) replied to me "some guy who doesn't stand a chance vs Kimbo", obviously some Kimbo fans have no knowledge of MMA.

Again I dont hate Kimbo, or despise him. Im merely stating that I dont like how people overrate him on his abilities, is Kimbo legit? Yes he can fight, and I think with some more training could accomplish a thing or two. However i also say no, because he's being being hand-fed opponents, and it makes me question how he'd do against somebody like Eddie Sanchez, or Antonio Silva, also he isn't ready for the UFC...least not yet.

Feel free to leave some comments, if i see anyone telling me Im a Kimbo hater, ill know they didn't read my thread, and as a result are quite stupid. Read before posting(or skim through the good stuff). Most of all I'd like you guys to post who'd be a good matchup for Kimbo.

Right now I say: Butterbean, Brett Rogers, and Eddie Sanchez, their all average fighters, and would beat Kimbo. So Kimbo should fight somebody like...Colin Robinson, or Justin Eilers. Kimbo will fight Rogers who insulted him sometime in September.

Honestly, if it wasn't for Youtube Kimbo wouldn't be as big as he is right now. He's a tough guy, I'll give him that and he IS being trained by one of the best (Bas Rutten) but yeah, he's faught nothing but wash ups and nobodies. If he were to accept Monson's request he would get owned, no question about it.
