The HW's on the show would have to be top prospects. Who cares if you get some exposure just to turn out to being a bum. Future champions on the show would be very good, if it isn't too much to ask that is.

Turning college football players into heavyweight prospects? It is very rare to hear of an idea that is worse than this. You can't just snatch up 230 pound athletes from other sports and turn them into heavyweight champions. If you could then Michael Grant and Mark Gastineau would have been ATGs.
This will quickly turn into a farce and I have a feeling that the majority of the crop will not be able to get down the basic fundamentals of the sport.
You can't just pluck a big man off a football field and make him into a boxer.
