Tank. Shamrock will try and just stand and trade with him and wind up getting knocked out.

There is also rumours of Ken V Tim Sylvia, as well as Shamrock (ken) V Shamrock (Frank)...

Ken and Tank is the most likely. Ken and Tim is the least likely being that Tim still has a career. And frankly, I'd love to watch Frank wreck Ken's shit.

Well Sylvia's camp at one point thought it had actually been signed...so it's definetly been offered to him...

Poor, poor Ken if that's true.

haha yeah. Tbh right now it actually seems like one of the only "big time" fights for Tim. After that ass kicking from Fedor (and being 0 - 3 from his last three fights) he's really in a tough spot. If he fights some non top 10 fighters, (like Ben Rothwell, Pedro Rizzo, Roy Nelson, Sergei Kharitonov, Alexander Emelenkio) and loses he could potentially go the way of Ricco Rodrigiuz (sp?).
The only other big time fight I can see for him right now is Alistair Overeem...

I think Tank and Ken are both fighting in the organization now right? Or just on the same card at a show.

There on the same show, but they aren't fighting each other. I think the promotion, Wargods, is trying to build towards a showdown between the two.
I don't even care enough to vote.
This fight is like 10 years too late.

Yeah, haze is right. Besides, even if Tank Abbot were remotely in shape, would he stand a chance against today's (much more well rounded) fighters?

No he would still be terrible.
But this match kinda has a freak show appeal to it. So I would watch it.

No one cares, Shamrock his last 5, beat an out of shape Kimo, and lost 2 fights before that. Tank was never very good, just very tough. This fight is retarded.
Ken Shamrock is gonna get himself seriously hurt one of these times, I kind of fear for the guy.

Ken Shamrock better win this fight and retire, because if he loses this fight he might as well kill himself in disgrace.
A friend of mind that I used to train ju-jitsu with is now an amature MMA fighter he weighs 135lbs and if he fought Tank Abbott I'd have to put my money on my friend.
Back when Tank used to be a bruiser that got through guys just based on toughness and attitude. Now when Tank goes in to a "fight" he's just looking to get his money, get knocked out or submitted and go home. His fight aginst Kimbo was a joke if he wanted to her could have made Kimbo earn that win, but instead he just took a shot and died.
I'd take Ken because at least when Ken Shamrock fights he still goes out there to win (and then winds up getting destroyed albeit). Tank goes out there to earn money and leave as fast as possible.
Shamrock by giving a shit is my prediction.
