I'm still a little surprised that more people aren't questioning Bo Cantrell's performance against Kimbo Slice this weekend.

Bo Jackson...Deion Sanders...Their whole "one day I'm a football star the next I'm a baseball player" routine was definitely impressive. But, let's be real, they don't hold a candle to what KJ Noons is trying to accomplish.
