    James Thompson is, hands down, gargantuan or colossus, i.e., 2m or 6'7", & now he is 44yo as of 2022. But he was certainly an intimidating, great & entertaining fighter in his prime time!! No question about it, Right?,,,,,I wonder if anyone 'd comply w/ me. Thoroughly enjoyed & appreciated your video to the core.,,,,,(10/16/22)

    James Thompson was very entertaining. And he could have been a higher ranked MMA fighter with proper training. His boxing skills was not good. He had good knees and pressure. I think he had a great chin. He is very good at defending take downs. He also lacked some skills in the ground game. But over all it is the boxing skills that was the reason he was not a top contender.
