Kimbo Slice vs. Mr. T

It’s not just because Kimbo Slice is the internet generation’s version of Mr. T. Or that Mr. T is the cable TV generation’s version of... Mr. T. Or one is a pop-culture novelty of today, and one is a pop-culture novelty from yesteryear. What I’m getting at, is watching Mr. T and Kimbo Slice fight would be like you fighting a clone of yourself, if you were the baddest person on the entire planet.

Kimbo Slice has become an internet celebrity for his you tube street fights. He has parlayed that success into a legitimate career in mixed martial arts, albeit with less success.

Watch Kimbo Slice murder this guy….

Mr. T should not need an introduction, because he is Mr. T. Truly impressive as a member of the A team was his ability to fire an obscenely inordinate amount of ammunition downrange. Even more impressive is the failure of said ammunition to hit anything. Ever. In spite of this, I have a well documented and irrational fear of Mr. T that originated in childhood. I find it particularly unsettling that Mr. T does not need to use a door to enter a room. Even if a perfectly good working doorway is available, it's easier for him to just kick a large hole in a wall than to walk through an already existing door.

Who I think wins: In short, I think Mr. T makes quick work of Kimbo Slice. Here is why: Even though Mr. T has pity for Kimbo, Mr. T shows pity to no one. He does not have time for Jibba Jabba, and will most likely just kick a doorway through Kimbo Slice.

Check this out; you will be glad you did.
