he beat a tattoo in Tank. Tank is the biggest loser in MMA history. Worlds most famous fighter with a losing record. not that i would challenge him in a street fight. i'm not stupid....
but as for kimbo he's been training under bas rutten and several other MMA legends, combined with his natural toughness and obvious power... the only thing that falls into question is his ground game and keeping form. infinte times in MMA have bigger stronger tougher guys been beaten by more technically sound figheters. which tank is well.. not. kimbo needs to make the shift from sideshow to legit leagues and fights though. tank abbot is 42 years old. its not impressive to beat a 42 year old former bouncer from the dark ages of MMA who hasn't won two fights in a row since 1998. Kimbo's got the ahtletic ability that goes without saying and he looked to be in teh shape of his life, but i think kimbo is like 31.. so he might be hopping on the mma train too late to become a real force, as for who can beat him? i'd say the majority of the up coming MMA heavyweight class (Ben Rothwell anyone?) .. UFCs heavyweights are 95% over the hill.

if he keeps facing freakshow shmucks that rob the sport of dignity like ray mercer, tank abbot, or even Brock Lesnar...
i had a lot of doubts about kimbo... er kevin ferguson rather...but he seems to take his training seriously and he's in the right camp to do it so only time will tell if he'll shape up and be legit or tank abbot v2.0

heavyweight. 205 - 265. after that its super heavyweight under unified rules
if you think his hands are big you need to go by the boxing hall of fame! (its in canastota - only about an hour or so away from me)have to go when the legends show up in october! i'm 6'5 220 and my hands look tiny. these mens hands are like cinderblock-size bricks attatched at the wrist!!

kimbo i think is exactly like tank abbott... same type of fighter.. when tank first came on the scene.. he was unstoppable.. just a natural brute force.. but age,and the fact that fighters figured out a way to avoid his face crushing punches has led to tank's demise..
imo.. i think kimbo will inevitably follow the same path unless his starts more technical training...
