Gary shaw: "I would let Kimbo fight Tyson in a boxing match"
Exclusive Interview: Part II With EliteXC President Gary Shaw - FightLine.com
*He would absolutely let Kimbo fight guys like boxing champion Klitscho in a boxing match and he thinks Kimbo would win.

*Antonio silva is #1 or #2 HW in the world.

*Dana isnt promoting a star like Rampage correctly.(I agree with this. Seems he is still on Chucks balls and wont promote the new blood)

Wow, very bold from gary. Wonder if he knows something about Kimbo that we dont.

Like he said in the interview, he's a big time promoter. He's in it for the money, and doesn't really try to hide it for better or worse.

I'd agree with him on the UFC not really marketing Rampage. Not really sure why.

I mean I still hear Rampage getting booed when he comes out. It's like people hate him because he beat Chuck, and everybody loved Chuck.

Maybe Rampage is just too laid back and cracks too many jokes. People want a scary Tyson-esque champ.

man tyson is old and washed up.

why does kimbo have to build of the legacies of past prime fighters?

if tyson trained for a month hard, he would ko kimbo in seconds, he may not even have to train, im sure his power is there.

Its a stupid gimic match. Has anybody seen Tyson lately? He's in no shape to fight. Gary Shaw loves to talk a big game.

Kimbo vs. Tyson
GSP vs Shields.

Why doesn't Garry saw STFU and worry about his promotion surviving instead of making up his "fantasy" match ups.

This Gary Shaw guy is just putting Dana to shame. The man's a genius at business. He really knows how to promote and get people excited about an org.
