(I think it's sick that he's intentionally going for some kind of racial matchup; and that he's trying to pick his own opponent.)
Thousands have expressed interest in fighting George Zimmerman in a celebrity boxing match, but Zimmerman recently announced who he would like to fight: Kanye West.
Promoters for the boxing match, scheduled to take place March 1, told TMZ that Zimmerman thinks Kanye attacks "defenseless people," citing run-ins with paparazzi and most recently an 18-year-old man at a chiropractor's office.
Kanye hasn't made any sort of comment about the boxing match.
Late last month, CNN was told more than 8,000 people had inquired about fighting Zimmerman in the boxing match, but no official opponent has been chosen.

(29,047 posts)What the fuck?! Zimmerman shot an unarmed guy he was following. I really hope this quote is taken way out of context.

(10,440 posts)I prefer that they both appear in one them squirt the clown in the mouth with water till their heads explode kind of games so we can all participate in.. but what the hell. I think Kanye is just douchy enough to take the challenge.

(8,217 posts)He was right for defending his lady who was subjected to a slur. Punk had it coming.
However, objectively in regards to a fight... I don't think Kanye has the upper hand.
See G. Zim has trained in an MMA gym for a while. Even if his trainer says he was soft, doesn't mean crap, and I don't believe him.
I have no idea what Kanye has in regards to training.
Still, give them 4 months each of training. I'd probably go with Kanye who would have access to better trainers and nutrition. Especially if it is boxing rather than MMA.
