If he's serious about this and can stay healthy, well let me write the storyline for you. It is obvious. He'll go in, dominate a couple low level guys for about 12 fights. Then he'll fight a couple very carefully chosen fighters with some name clout who will cave under pressure or have weak chins and he'll KO them. Golota, anyone? Then when he's about 15-0 with 15 KOs he'll check out against a Wlad or whoever and be destoyed in a big money fight.

anything is possiable with hard work and determination patience is all the element of a champion if Foreman could become a champion at an old age and Holyfield is going to his journey for 5th title then anything is possiableComment

The Big Show retired from WWE wrestling because he was in so much pain, even just standing in the ring, due to his size and all his injuries.
Paul Wight has done independent shows since then, but I can't imagine he's in any shape to do boxing - even 4-rounders.

The Big Show (Paul Wight) recently purchased a $3.37 million home in the Coral Gables, Florida area. He is currently training in hopes of becoming a professional boxer and is down to 449 lbs.
I got it from wrestlinginc.com. i cant believe it, this man is 6'11-7'. but what he has that most tall boxers have is MASS AND WEIGHT. Id assume once he is done cutting weight he'd be down to about 410. i wanted him back in wwe but id love to see him box, although he supposedly has many health problems. then again, maybe he just wants to box small time. but imagine "The Big Show vs. Wladimir Klitchko" . just speculating.

Multi-time WWE Champion Paul “Big Show” Wight has either signed a new contract with World Wrestling Entertainment or has agreed to a new deal, reports Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Big Show should be returning to WWE television programming very soon.
Big Show has lost a tremendous amount of weight since leaving WWE as he is down to 440 lbs. The former champion decided he needed sometime off and wanted to pursue a possible boxing career. He began a vigorous training routine to get his body into shape as Hulk Hogan was his “front man” acting as his manager. With Hogan managing him, a lot of big-time boxing promoters were interested in him learning the sport, but his plans ultimately fell through when he realized at his age, boxing would not be the right decision. There was also some talk of Big Show doing a wrestling tour with Hogan, but discussion in that direction has seemed too have stopped.Comment
