When I first heard Good Charlotte's Benji Madden was set to box against former MTV VJ Riki Rachtman, my first thought was, "HUH?" followed by "WTF??" Followed, finally, by "AWESOME." Benji and Riki fought last Friday in Las Vegas, and Benji Madden knocked out the "Headbangers Ball" figurehead in 1 minute and 40 seconds. In other words, Rachtman got served!
If Benji's itching to get back in the ring anytime soon, I can think of plenty of people I'd love to see him go toe-to-toe with, including the following potential human punching bags. More Madden boxing buddies after the jump!

Trace Cyrus: Now that Metro Station is no longer together, Trace has plenty of time to hit the jump and bulk up. Hell, who am I kidding? This guy weighs 90 pounds soaking wet. A fight between him and Madden wouldn't be a civil match -- it'd be an emo bloodbath.

John Mayer: By naming his new album Battle Studies, Mayer is basically telling his haters to come and get it -- and, based on his Playboy interview fallout, I'm guessing there's a big line forming to the right. Let's be honest, though: What everyone would really like to see is a rock 'em, sock 'em grudge match between Mayer and Jessica Simpson. Sadly, I wouldn't hold my breath for that one -- even though that's what I call must-see TV.

Kanye West: Kanye might not be the buffest dude in the hip-hop game, but he looks spry enough to fight Madden. On second thought, I feel like he might bust out some illegal moves if put in the ring. For example, Benji would go in for an uppercut, and Kanye would, like, throw a Chinese star from his pocket and then fly away on a rocket that bursts through the floor. In other words, this probably isn't a fair fight. Sorry, Benj. I care too much about you to risk hurting that tattooed punim.
