5 Questions you always wanted to ask...

Right you have a total of 5 questions, which can be put to any boxer, in any era, and they would have to answer you back truthfully.

What would you ask?

Mine would be...

1: Liston, did you take a dive against Ali in your second fight or, Did you know that the 'phantom' punch existed?

2: Riddick Bowe, did you throw your belt in the bin because you where scared of facing Lewis?

3: Rocky Marciano, how many of your fights where fixed by the mafia or, What did you know that Liston didn't, about dealing with the mob?

4: Duran, what was the real reason behind quitting the second fight with Leonard?

5: Margarito, how many times have you used loaded gloves in a fight?

And your other 3?

1. Hagler, if you know that you won the fight, why did you let it bother you so much to the point of retiring, especially when you had plenty fight left in you?

2. Morales & Barrera, what in specific set you guys off against each other?

3. Ali, when in reality did you start to feel the effects of Parkinson's?

4. Holyfield, you're already the only 4 time heavyweight champion, possibly the greatest Cruiserweight champion of all times, not broke, yet you continue to fight on, why does the title mean so much to you?

5. Judah, why didn't you ever make a song with Soulja Boy called "da chicken dance"? could have made millions ;D

1. Tyson how do uncook human ears taste like?

2. Bruno were you really that petrified going up against Tyson?

3. Floyd is the IRS really after you, hence the comeback?

4. Margarito how long have you been using plaster to make molds of your hands?

5. Ricky were you really out the moment pac's left touched your chin?

Definitely those two!

Floyd: Did you really think people believed you were going to retire?

Calzaghe: Why didn't you fight Jones or Hopkins younger in their careers?

Sturm: Where have your testicles gone? (On never wanting to fight Abraham or Pavlik)

1. Jack Johnson did you take a dive against Jess Willard
2. Jack Dempsey were your gloves loaded against Willard
3. Gene Tunney could you have survived Dempsey's onslaught from the long count.
4. Liston who killed you
5. Tyson why did you marry Robin Givens

Ray Leonard: Why did you duck Aaron Pryor?
James Butler: Why Sam and not Max?
A Mere Con: Is it true your mom is no longer allowed to kiss you on the cheek for fear it might knock you out?
Ricky Hatton: :LOLATYOU:
David Haye: Is your will made out?

Questions already answered in public by the fighters

1. Nah man he was just crazy and I wanted no part of it

2. Why should I be forced to fight Lewis I am the champion I should not be the one who has to take the fights handed to me

3. Marciano denied publicly on several occassions he had no ties with the mob

4. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDYnO9gGwIQ

Terry Marsh - why didn't u aim for the head?

1, Oscar De Le Hoya, Why was it not the night of the jab against Mayweather when it was clearly the only punch that was really landing??

2, Oscar De Le Hoya, Did you take a dive against Hopkins or was the body shot really that good?

3, Muhammad Ali, Did your corner really tamper with your glove to give you more time to recover when fighting Cooper?

4, Roy Jones, Did you really lose to Tarver on purpose just to piss your Dad off? :confused:

5, Miguel Cotto, What did it feel like to be landing so many hard punches on Margarito's chin and have him just keep walking through them as if they were nothing and just keep coming at you?

The Liston and Bowe ones would be in my top 5 for sure.

Other 3

Hamed - why did you walk away, did you lose your bottle and realised you weren't as good as you thought ??

Eubank & Benn - given the money you could have earned, why wasn't there a third fight ??

Ali - wheres your original gold medal really ?

and a rank outsider

Shannon Briggs - any chance of giving your wife one ?

1 Sonny Liston, were you bought and did it result in your death
2 Gerald McClelland was there a problem with you before the Benn fight
3 Jim Watt did you deliberately head but O'Grady
4 Evander why big guy why ??
5 George Foreman if you hadn't found God would you have bounced back from the Jimmy Young loss and been champion again in you 20's

Kudos for the Terry Marsh comment.
I think also Hagler explained he knew that Leonard wouldn't give him a rematch or at least he would string it out until Hagler was either too old or rust set in.
Angelo Dundee admitted to slicing Ali's glove against Cooper.
Marciano did deny Mafia involvement but then so did John Gotti:rolleyes:

Sonny Liston did you die of a heroin overdose or where you killed? ( I guess a question asked in the heaven's)

Oscar De La Hoya what the hell where you talking about when you suffered from a "personal problem" after the Oba Carr fight?

George Foreman are you really that religious or is it an act for people to accept you in life and in your comeback.

Ali where you going to continue in the 15th round in Manila if Frazier hadn't retired.

Tyson what the fuck happenend ?

2) GOOD QUESTION! I always thought that punch wasn't as massive as De La Hoya made it seem.

3) I think Dundee admitted this in an interview. I forgot where I saw it but he said something along the lines of making a good move by doing so because if not, Ali would've been in serious trouble.

4) I think Roy was just copping out here. He lost the fight, he made an excuse...
