    Submission specialists would own him.

    Even a low-level 155'er like Mac Danzig would beat him. If they somehow did sign Floyd they'd need to put him in with someone who is primarily a striker, and even then I think the kicks would do him in.

    Thats debatable. His first real opponent (Cantrell) had tapped out before he even hit the floor!

    His 2nd one was dragged off some bar stool and thrown in there, immediately gassing and getting KO'd. Tank Abbott is 43 and hasn't exactly been looking after himself since he debuted in 1995. These days he's nothing more than a glorified bar room brawler.

    Then he fought James "Glass Jaw" Thompson. Thompson was beating him, and the ref should have stopped it in the 2nd. Kimbo wasn't even fighting back, yet they got stood up. Thompson clearly won the first 2 rounds. Then in the 3rd they realised Kimbo might really lose this, and the ref gave him a KO win even although James Thompson was still standing, wtf??? Until we see Kimbo legitimately defeat a top 30, lets not get carried away.

    No arguments in any of your points at all... I'm just saying, you have to admit, Kimbo has been winning more than you expected him to be winning. Shoot! I thought he would get utterly OWNED in his first real MMA fight. I'm just saying good training will take a mediocre fighter a long ways QUICK. And Mayweather is far from a mediocre fighter to start! Remember, he does have that killer instinct!

    I dont think Kimbo has won more than expected. He's been put up against cans, Bo Cantrell was an embrassment (if that wasn't staged). He got gifted a victory against Thompson because Gary Shaw couldn't afford to have Kimbo lose on their first televised card. Kimbos' performance was so poor I don't know who they are going to put him against next. Anyone of higher level than Thompson will derail the Kimbo train once and for all. I noticed someone on sitepoint selling a kimbo slice site for huge money. Great move, that sites going to be worth nothing within a year.

    top organization? In US and UK, perhaps?

    Have you seen M1 ? Organization and everything is far better. UFC still looks like in 90s.

    UFC owns every other org when it comes to viewers, ppv's, top fighters in almost every weight class etc. M1 is a joke.

    He should definitely stick with boxing. I think he might be a little out his league with the UFC.
