Former amateur great Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker will be on the show this year. Arturo Gatti will also be on the show.

im afraid gatti might get hurt by one of the joes.

No, even an old, washed up pro can handle an average Joe.

i know i was just kidding. i actually saw a clip on the official website and gatti knocked some dood out.(dropped him about 5 times before he was finally counted out.) pretty funny cause gatti was goin all out but when roy jones was on the show he didnt go hard at all cause he didnt want to hurt anybody.

Fancy Gatti doing that to someone!! Imagine if one of the boxers really hurts an average Joe?? How could they live with themselves..Stupid and dangerous if you ask me..Just what boxing doesn't need!!!

It should be a competition of boxing exercises like jump roping, hitting a heavy bag or speed bag or even other exercises like push-ups, plyometrics, etc.
