1. Great comment at the link

I am not sure which is more pitiful: The present status of Boxing or the present status of Mitt.

I have to agree.... At least it's for charity and not just a publicity stunt.

3. Everything Mitt does is for Publicity.

He has to be creative to keep his name in the news. He even gets bonus points because it is for charity, what a nice thoughtful guy, not.

2. Evander won't have to worry about his ear,

but he may want to keep his family's dog from Mitt's car.

4. A can't imagine Mitt throwing a punch...

I see him more of wild slap fight sort of guy... Probably screaming as he did it...

5. Reminds me of when Todd Schrupp getting into the ring with Jerry 'The King' Lawler

Todd Schrupp of TVG got into a on-air confrontation with Jerry 'The King' Lawler many years ago. I'm sure Todd was making fun of how fake wrestling was and after a couple of incidents Lawler challenged Schrupp to get into the ring. Big mistake on Schrupp's part - Lawler used the 'piledriver' move on him. Did not end well for him.

6. Maybe Holyfield can knock some sense into him. nt

7. He should fight Mike Tyson instead.

His ears are too big anyway.

8. I heard Mike is hungry for some more ear

Just like that bastard soccer player from South America that likes to bite people. Now there's the two people that should fight each other. Have A1 as the sponsor and cover them with steak sauce before they start. They could call it "The winner for dinner".
