I know Bob Sapp's been a big joke for almost a decade now.
But I do remember him defeating twice a kickboxing legend ike Ernesto Hoost, like completely. I remember a prime Bob Sapp ragdolling and throwing around Big Nog, who eventually caught him with a great armbar.
I mean his technique was surely quite poor, but damn was he big and strong (350 lbs, most of it being muscle, 6ft5in tall). And his chin wasn't bad...I mean he never really got knocked out, most of his late fights finish with him being punched and pretending to be in excruciating pain...but I actually believe he's giving away most of those fights for money...I mean a man that took thousands of kicks and punches from Hoost can't succumb to a 170 lbs can from Romania or whatever (no racial issues being raised
), I believe he's selling fights and just wants to avoid injuries. But I think he did have heart and passion for the sport in the past.
My point is...I'm not saying he would be HW champ...but if he trained and had some sort of conditioning he could be top 8 to 12 and could have a chance at beating people like werdum or overeem, silva, browne, hunt etc etc.
Don't get me wrong though...I'm no Sapp fan. I just think he's a fake and doesn't fight to full potential. I'm just saying that he could put up a decent fight if he just tried!
