If you met your all-time favourite fighter in the comfort of your own home....

...what would you say to him?


I'd ask Tszyu some questions....."Do you think you gave half your prime to your amateur career?"

"Do you think you was avoided by the top guys?"

"Fancy a pint?"



What would you ask in a chilled out talk?

I think this will be a great thread Kel. Good thought.

I'd ask Kostya why he never persued Vince Phillips cause I;'ve heard his dad made him promise him he would never fight him again.

that was on his own forum and he never replied to it.


I want to know the real reason.


I'd ask Roy J or Len Harvey if we could lightly spar a round or two.

What would you do different is always a good question too.

I don't think I have an all-time favorite fighter to be honest.

I would ask Lennox Lewis to talk about his strategies in the ring and how he thinks he would match up against the greatest HW's in history--in the ring.

Marvin Hagler is my favorite fighter of all time.

I would ask him what does he think about boxing superstars like Oscar, Manny, Floyd following his nemeis Leonard in doing catchweights, wanting bigger rings, bigger gloves and all that bullshit.

Mike Tyson, and I'd make sure any female I cared about was nowhere within the vicinity.

Seriously, though, I'd ask Mike the obvious: What happened with that girl in Indiana? (Not right off the bat, of course.) Was he really ready to get back in the ring when he got out of prison? How different would his life had been if Buster Douglas stayed down when he knocked him down? Did he go into the second Holyfield fight really thinking he would win? When did he decide he was going to bite him? When did he really feel like he'd lost the skills he had when he was 21?

Morales, i'd basically ask, "why do you really hate Barrera so much?", "looking back at your career now,do you ever feel you should have used your boxing skills more?", "why was there never a fight against Hamed or Marquez?", "can i live with you? lol"

Duran why he turned his back on Leonard, No Mas.

For starters and at the risk of catching a left hook.....Holyfield

A fav at the top of the list since 89' in live fashion but..........Utmost and unending respect Champ, with love of your children at the forfront...do you want to see them grow old with a clear mind....why does your once storied pride within the ring now blur and keep you on this downward spiral when its clear you should have long retired.Dont you think its time to hang them up once and for all?

Are you kidding me?

If I had Miguel in my home, we wouldn't be doing any talking. ;) :lickish: ;D

Well, I guess that I could ask him....

Miguel, will you sexually harass me?

Miguel, will you model your underwear for me?

>:D

Oscar De La Hoya

How do you think your career would have gone had the Trinidad decision gone your way?

Why in the world did you feel necessary to weigh in less than the 147 limit against Pac?

I'd ask Ricardo Mayorga to spar me of course.

Then after getting knocked out I'd ask him "What happened?"
;D

So you would basically launch a verbal attack on him? ;D

Poor old Mike, pops round your house for a friendly visit then....bam!

;D

I'd have to go for Ali not just one of the greatest fighters but one of the greatest people ever.

I'd ask him foir his thoughts on the issues between muslims and other religions and how he thinks it could be improved.

I'd ask him on his thoughts on the second Liston fight and the 'phantom punch'. I always thought there was more to it....

I'd ask him about his Parkinsons Syndrome and if he truly believes that boxing played no part in his current health situation. Was it worth it ?

I'd ask him what his biggest regret is. We all have them but Ali's would no doubt be 'The Greatest'

I'd ask all of these after about an hour of simpy staring open mouthed in awe at unquestionably one of the greatest fighters who ever lived and a man who shaped and continues to shape a country and several generations of people.

I'd have Mr Pacquiao around for a chat and a non-alcoholic beverage. I'd then ask him if he fancied some 'juice', then scrutinize and gauge his facial reaction, before innocently handing him a glass of pure orange before I get my face smashed in. ;D
