I'd take Butterbean in a bareknuckle fight too, for just about any amount, although Kimbo would have a much better chance that way than with gloves. From what I understand, Kimbo's cousin is Emmanuel Augustus, one of my favorite boxers, and Emmanuel has trained him up decently with his hands.

You're a big strong guy Ant, but you're not hard enough to mix it up with someone like Kimbo. Neither am I, not even close, so that's not meant as an insult. My guy was VJ's brother Jarrod, he's about 190 lb brown belt, no cage experience except sparring in the academy and at Gracie Barra in Brazil, which is where he is now. I asked him if he wanted to fight Kimbo for half the take. His answer: "Let's DO this, right now!" and you were going to hook it up but I never heard back. He's on my friends list on my myspace page if you want to take a look.
