Well "Celebrity Deathmatch" is one thing, with it's claymation fighting making for quite an amusing show, but Celebrity Boxing? :eek:

You guessed it, it's on Fox.

Tonya Harding vs. Amy Fisher is one of the three fights planned. Fox claims that they will be 3 round fights that will not be staged.

I think it's a great idea. I heard about it on Imus this morning.

I think they need to have Celebrity Rollerball next. Worn out 80s rockers vs. hopped up 90s rappers, that kind of thing. Could be fun.

They should have to use Klingon hand weapons.

Low? This would be freaking awesome! I want to see OJ Simpson vs. Howard Stern. And then Justin Timberlake vs. Trent Reznor... Oh boy, the combinations are limitless! Bring it on!

Here's mine: Boy George vs. Gary Coleman.

I'd give Gary the edge. He's smaller, but tougher.

Well, judging by the responses to this, somebody better tell Vince McMahon (WWF) to start booking some of these matches ASAP.

I'm surprised you guys haven't mentioned: Steve vs. Bill? Talk about a cool thing to see!

I think Bill would win, to be honest. I see him fighting dirty and Steve is probably weak from lack of red meat and all.

But I bet Phil could take Bill.

If it's a match between rich tech CEO's, I'd put money on McNeely from Sun or Ellison from Oracle. Ellison claims to know samauri, but other than that he looks like a pus. McNeely, though, is a big hockey player. I'd give him 3:2 odds.

Boxing between CEO is interesting , but why not between Presidents.
For example Bush vs Saddam, Sharon vs Arafat, Poutine vs ....
