When you say the sky is the limit, are you saying he could be a top heavyweight in the sport?

Yes he could be very competitive with the top heavys - he is getting his submission defense down and most heavys out there couldnt take his punch ( a good shot) now that he has learned to sit down on his punches. Rutten said he was shocked how hard he hits now. Kimbo is very powerful also.

Kimbo wouldnt be very competitive with top heavys..comon, what he is gonna do on the ground?
you don't learn all the stuff and do it extremly well in just one year of training..

IMO. I still think he has a way to go before he is up there. But then again we haven't really seen the best of him yet, and we can't say for sure whether he has stamina, heart etc. I think i'll withhold my judgement on him until he faces someone that is game and is going to give him a good fight. Not old fighters that aren't that good and that are going to stand there and let him hit them.

and why most heavy wouldnt take his shot?
who Kimbo have knocked with a good chin to be recognised like a powerfull puncher?
yeah a man of this size is gonna have power..but it aint just that..Gannon was taken all his punch VERY well without glove..

Skills pay the bills not Kimbo sacking some hapless QB in a youtube vid. The Kimbo phenomena is nothing more than an Internet creation. His done the right thing by training with Bas but lets keep it real Kimbo is a crude brawler and nothing more. All his socalled "MMA" skills are VERY rudimentary and basic. He`ll go as far as he can and loose. End of story end of thread.

I agree with all of what you said, I just wanted to say that Kimbo don't have Hulk power in his hands..

Kimbo was out of gas after a 2 mins.

Yeah, that was pretty scary. It took Kimbo 3 rounds and a quick stoppage, against a fighter known for always being brutally KTFO quick. He looked like total shit on the ground, and had bad conditioning.

Butterbean-Kimbo anyone?
Butterbean-Kimbo anyone?
I want to see it. Butterbean put Thompson away and has decent hands. Despite the fact he typically rolls around like an egg on the ground, he did submit Zulu. I would pick him over Kimbo at this point.

Butterbean KO'D Thompson in 43 seconds. Kimbo's not ready for the Bean Machine.

Butterbean-Kimbo anyone?That would speel death for KImbo. Bean doesnt get knocked out and even Beans ground game is better than KImbo`s aswell as his pro fighting experience. It would simply be an annihilation. Like i said already its only a matter of time..
