Sonny Liston and Gatti - How did you die?

I'd ask James Toney why he has insisted on eating himself out of a great career.

I'd ask Holyfield where he found the will to throw that left hook in the 5th round against Bowe in their third bout.
That was something out of a movie right there. I remember the announcers were talking about how exhausted Holyfield look and how he's right about to go. Ding 5th round bell and He comes out with a left hook from hell. It almost felt surreal, I had tears that I had to held back because men don't cry in boxing :D

Ali. If Frazers trainer didnt pull him out would you have quit in the thriller in manilla.
-
Re: If you could ask any fighter or boxer a question who and what would that be?
I'd have to ask R. Lopez, why not jump up higher and much sooner?
And with respect to Chavez...come on bruh, just between us, did you ever really think that was a draw ???
Dempsey....why not fight at least ONE brother?

He still shouldnt of quit, change tactics maybe, but not quit.

Re: If you could ask any fighter or boxer a question who and what would that be?
I would ask John Ruiz 'Is it a gay thing?'.
-
Re: If you could ask any fighter or boxer a question who and what would that be?
:) Ask Oscar, were they ya mums clothes?
-
Re: If you could ask any fighter or boxer a question who and what would that be?
Liston - did you take a dive or did that punch really hurt you
and did you put something on your gloves in first bout
two questions I know - guess I would rather have the answer to my first
-
Re: If you could ask any fighter or boxer a question who and what would that be?
Ricky, were you really overtrained for the Pacquiao fight? and if you were in peak form at 9 weeks why didn't you tell Floyd Mayweather Sr to sling his hook? You employed him and if you and Beard both thought you were in danger of burnout, why let Mayweather who had already tarnished your reputation by his despicable comments about Roach, ruin what was already going to be an uphill struggle against Manny Pacquiao. Don't get me wrong, I don't think in retrospect that Ricky Hatton would have beaten the Pacman but I think he would have lasted longer and given a better account of himself. While i'm at it I would ask Manny why he showed virtually zero concern for Hatton after he looked in desperate danger of fitting etc after the KO. That coupled with the easing off against people like Mosely and the clear smugness after the robbery against Marquez just meant I couldn't respect him again as much ever again.

Re: If you could ask any fighter or boxer a question who and what would that be?
Jack Dempsey , was your gloves loaded against Willard.
-
Re: If you could ask any fighter or boxer a question who and what would that be?
Harry Greb , how the hell did you have 90 odd fights with 1 eye :o
-
Re: If you could ask any fighter or boxer a question who and what would that be?
Jack Johnson could you really have got up from that punch against Willard.

I know the answer to that one, Graham got annoyed that Julian had chipped one of his tooth that he had just fixed. Corner told him to stay back, box him and the fight would be his. Instead he got mad and got KTFO.

Re: If you could ask any fighter or boxer a question who and what would that be?
I would like to ask Bowe was he really scared of Lewis and why he avoided the fight.

Re: If you could ask any fighter or boxer a question who and what would that be?
Marvin Hagler, for the love of god why oh why did you start so slow
against Sugar Ray Leonard:eek:
-

It was if Hagler did not want to admit that SRL was good enough to force him to switch.

i actually talked to one of his cutman at a cintron-estrada event and he said duran got paid a few million to throw the fight....dont know how true that is

Re: If you could ask any fighter or boxer a question who and what would that be?
Gene Tunney, could you have really beat the count against Dempsey in the
second fight.
-
Re: If you could ask any fighter or boxer a question who and what would that be?
Margarito ....... Be honest, when did you start loading your gloves?
-
I would ask RJJ how much of a factor (if any) did the weight cut play in him losing the Tarver rematch. I think his pride got the better of him and he should have stayed at heavyweight.

Re: If you could ask any fighter or boxer a question who and what would that be?
Rocky Marciano, where did you stash the cash Rock :D

totally agree

Re: If you could ask any fighter or boxer a question who and what would that be?
I would ask BHOP - Why did you duck Calzaghe back in the day? No true boxing fan can understand how you turned down a career high payday, home advantage and choice of gloves and officials. You're a great fighter, clearly not scared of any man, so why make yourself look scared of prime Calzaghe? It just don't make sense.

Re: If you could ask any fighter or boxer a question who and what would that be?
Mayweather. Dont you think it would be better to pack shower gel.
