Why would I be kidding? James Thompson beat Yoshida, Frye, and Severn.. Roy Nelson has beaten who? Brad Imes and Fabio Scherner.. he lost to Ben Rothwell who I consider to be an average HW and then he lost to Josh Curran who im sure is only known by his mother in MMA. Roy Nelson is wild, I dont see the credentials on paper or on film to say that this guy really is a test.. hes a brawler.. who folded vs the only top competition hes ever faced.. and that top competition was Ben Rothwell! James Thompson loses cuz of his chin, hes still got a lot better skillset then Roy Nelson and has shown that vs much better opponents.
To me, a split dec. is not considered folding, if anything it's more of a draw. Folding to me is getting KOed by guys who are also only known by Josh Curran's mother.
Wow, Thompson beat Old Man River 1 and 2. I would take Rothwell against Frye or Severn any day. Frye was good in his day but now he's just old and I guarantee you right now Rothwell and Nelson would beat Frye.
Just because Thompson has fought in Pride doesn't make him a world beater, just world beaten.

Oh, yeah, he lost to Butterbean.
And Roy Nelson has beaten better fighters then Butterbean? why are you ignoring the fact that James Thompson beat Yoshida? which is a better fighter then anyone Roy Nelson has ever fought.. fact is.. people get on Kimbo's case for not fighting much top comp after 2 fights... Roy Nelson has been fighting for 4 years and has fought one.. one decent opponent... and he lost to that decent opponent
Yoshida is more then a decent opponent, and James Thompson TKO'd him showing that he does have a skillset aside from his glass jaw.. he has a glass jaw! everyone knows that.. but he doesnt lack skills.. watching Roy Nelson fight you have to wonder where his skill is.. hes a brawler.. a fat brawler.

lmfao nelson would take kimbo down and pound the crap out of him. The only chance Kimbo has at beating Roy Nelson is if Nelson is dumb enough to stand and trade, which I dont think he would be.
With that said, Nelson win's that fight by referee stoppage in the first round
You don't have to like the guy, but to say he thinks he's the shit is moronic. I've seen interviews with this guy and he's nothing but class. Even after he pounded Imes in the face until it was stopped he did nothing but heap praise on the guy.
If you haven't sent his guy fight I suggest you try to find some of his fights, he may not have the cardio of Tito but for as big as he is the mother fucker is impressive the cardio he has.
Oh yeah, by the way, Neg'd.
Class my ass the dude was running his mouth about Dan Henderson's ability, and just because you praise an opponent you beat does not mean your classy. BJ praised Sherk but hes still a prick.

Oh God , I wish this would happen. Kimbo looked like total shit and would get destroyed by a decent fighter. Barring some sort of early stoppage, but how often does that happen?
Man, I wish I would have waited and posted this after the event last night. Every single pro Kimbo poster would probably have a different opinion. Kimbo was saved last night by an incompetent ref AND a weaker opponent. I couldn't and still can't believe that James Thompson OWNED Kimbo for 2 rounds only to get screwed in the 3rd.
