I was reading Jim Ross's blog, and he had an interesting comment about Big Show. I was just wondering what you all think of the notion.

The Big Show had dropped mucho pounds and was training to perhaps get into boxing, which is in dire need of a heavyweight “star” that isn’t a Russian

Here is a link to the blog in question.

I'd like to see the mucho pounds he's dropped. Reminds me of when he went to OVW and they said "he's in great shape, looks the best he's ever had". And he comes back at the Rumble looking even fatter than when he left.

Its still amazing when you see him in WCW in 1995, just how agile and muscular he was.

 

If he stayed like that, he could have really been so much more.

He's 450 punds now, so he's about as quick and agile as a docked cruise ship. He would be the worst boxer of all times, I wanna see.

I really can't see him doing the boxing thing. More power to him if he can, but he seems a might bit heavy to me. He would have a killer reach though.

He'd be difficult to knock down to an extent, but he'd never win anything, boxing or UFC cause he's just too damn big and lumbering.

I think he'd have a chance in UFC just because of his size and strength. Unlike 99% of competitors, he would have no problem lifting and slamming practically any guy in UFC. Sure guys would be faster than him, and if they got him down they could submit him (though even that would be hard because of the size), but any time he got into the clinch, he could just arch his back, lift them off their feet and belly-to-belly them.

 

I don't care who you are, if Show picks you up, and falls on you, you're in serious ****, if you're not KO'd immediately.

 

Maybe someone like Chuck could hit him with a patented lucky punch, but I can't see someone like Couture, Ortiz or Slyvia being able to not get caught in a clinch and squashed.

I was under the impression that Wight, was going to return to WWE at some point? And was merely taking a break, because both mentally and physically he was shot?

 

I really cant see Show, as a Boxer or in UFC, just for the fact, that due to age and not his weight, has lost any agility he used to have in WCW, and would get picked off by someone like Kilitscko (?)
