    Yes, it seems Very Big Daddy is pencilled in to face former WAA heavyweight champion Gene 'Please Stop Hitting Me' Pukall on the Klitschko-Rahman undercard.

    With his impressive record of 14-12-2, nine of those losses by knockout, Mr. Pukall has bravely fought nowhere except Germany for his entire career and is a former holder of the WAA belt, a title so obscure than Gene might not know he even won the thing in the first place. Despite the small obstacle of never having met, let alone beaten any heavyweight of note at all, Mr. Pukall will no doubt be a fearsome foe.

    I'm not one to call fighters bums, it's disrespectful to people in a very hard sport, but they seem to have picked an absolute bum par excellence here to give Bowe every opportunity to get a quick knockout.

    Calling the former WAA HW Champion a CHAMPION is a joke,Boew is done,the thread title is a joke.

    Well, that video says it all!

    I don't think Bowe should be fighting, but at least he's not committing suicide by fighting Pukall. What will a win over this guy prove? Nothing. If it takes more than 3 rounds, Bowe should never, ever be allowed to fight again in a pro boxing ring.

    It has to be somekind of mistake. The guy in the video was horrible. He should fight the guy who won.

    There's setting someone up with an easy touch, and then giving them such a weak opponent it's obvious even the promoter has zero faith in his abilities.

    A rematch with Zumbrun would be nice. But I guess Zumbrun is simply too good a fighter for Bowe to consider at the moment, which says it all.

    It's not gonna end well.

    Vitali Klitschko is only 3+ years younger than Bowe. They had their last fights approx 3-4 years ago (aside from the Peter bout). Both have approx. 35 KOs on their record. Both have boxed against Herbie Hide, Larry Donald and Marcus Rhode. Klitschko lost against Lennox, Riddick didn't want to fight against Lennox. Will be a nice fight: Vitali fights Riddick and Wladimir fights Holyfield.

    Bowe is a tragic figure is boxing. He has about as much business fighting as Meldric Taylor.

    Bowe claimed Donald looked like he was going to hit him, so he threw his punches first :rofl.

    It amazed me how the dumb american boxing writers hugged Bowe's nuts unconditionally. Loved the beating Golota gave him.
