Kimbo Slice vs Mike Tyson?

[Sack of Chisels]

This article is a few weeks old but I haven't seen it discussed here. very interesting prospect..

Elite XC Live Events President Gary Shaw refutes recent claims in a conference call yesterday that a fight between Kimbo Slice and 41-year-old former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson is in the works. Slice has always talked about wanting to fight “Iron Mike;” however, he is way passed his prime and incredibly out of shape. Regardless, the return of Tyson would more than likely generate a ton of public interest (as always), especially if he’s matched up against a personality such as Slice. It’s for that reason that Shaw would book the fight in a “heartbeat.” It would be a complete sideshow … but a money-making sideshow at that.

Then he should fight the ice cream that never stopped for l'il Kevin Ferguson. Then Shaw will book him against a Yeti. Then the Bearded Lady at the local carnival.

I know what I want to be when I grow up. An Elite XC booker.

Ya think this shit's hurtin' MMA credibility? Ya think?

Would be a total bloodbath. Tyson's in no shape anymore to fight an animal like Slice.

Shit, judging from that last pic he's not in good enough shape to fight anyone.

just a few years ago a still old Tyson would have found very little impressive about Kimbo in a fighting sense. If Kimbo was ten years younger maybe there would be something there. but a professional level he just isnt impressive by any standards
