who can fight him? I thought there was a cap on weight. There's no way he'd ever get below 400 lbs. (Khali's about as built as you can be and is still over 400).
but he might just be doing it to get into better shape. Training to be a boxer is actually a really good workout, so maybe that will help him more than just training.

He will be a big power boxer, I assume.
The kind where you get inside to take the reach away, pound the body, drag them through a few rounds, and then drop their fat bodies to the floor.
Paul had best start with journeymen...and when I say journeymen...I mean jobbers.

Can you imagine what he'll look like with gloves on? Those things would have to be huge. It will look like he shoved his hands into a couple of bean bags.

Show should take up tennis. Who would be able to return a serve from that height?

449?! That's about what he was at his WCW Debut. He was downright skinny in those days. I'll bet he'll be a tough man to beat. I don't know if there's a cap for the heavyweight division in, say, WBC or the other major governing bodies of boxing, but if there isn't, he may very well be World Heavyweight Champion someday. It'd be hard to beat him. He has more than a foot on most heavyweight boxers in height, and is more than double the weight. His reach must be incredible, and he's a very strong, tough man being a former wrestler.

 So, any word yet as to what weight division he'll be competing in? I hope he knocks somebody out. I'd say if someone pissed him off, he could potentially end their life.

I'd be worried about his conditioning quite honestly if any fight goes more than a few rounds.
Though the proposition of boxing the man would be terrifying.

Show's hands are as big as skillets, with gloves on they must be as big as a...erm...wok!
