    Pretty sure I'll leave some out, but of the first to come to mind are:

    1. Arguello - A class act... and I loved his boxing-punching style. "El Flaco Explosivo"!!
    2. Sugar Ray Leonard - Still alive, of course... but I'd bring him back from retirement. One of the best there ever was.
    3. Hearns - Just 'cause I'd want to see more Leonard-Hearns classics.
    4. Trinidad - For obvious (for me) reasons. Loved to fight... one of our local greats. Speaking of which....
    5. Wilfredo Gomez - Insane KO percentage... another local great.
    6. Marciano - I'd like to finally find out how Rocky would really do against modern-day fighters.
    7. Julian Jackson - Scary KO power. Either KO'ed or was KO'ed. You knew some devastation was going to happen.
    8. Tyson - With the scarcity of HW excitement going on nowadays... and love him or hate him.... I think we all miss the Tyson days. Besides, I'd like to see him have a go at Wladimir while in their respective primes.
    9. Sugar Ray Robinson - Ditto what I said about Marciano.
    10. Corrales - Never saw a bad Corrales fight.

    Good call on Jackson

    There would be better things to do with a time machine.

    Like go back and hi-5 the guy who just invented the hi-5 or go back and look quizzically at the first guy to milk a cow.
    You say tomato,
    ‘n I say …… it correctly.

    1. Jem Mace - to witness where it all started from and just to study his scientific technique and see what parts of it survive. Be nice to share an Ale with him and to record him playing his fiddle

    2. Bob Fitzsimmons - To again watch the progression and see how much of if his success from middle to heavyweight was down to talent.

    3. Ted Kid Lewis - Would be a great privilege to watch him operate today

    4. Henry Armstrong - So Entertaining, again to see if he replicate his success across three weights and to witness him against Duran at lightweight before mullering Floyd at Welter

    5. Roberto Duran - to fight Armstrong at lightweight and Manny at light welter

    6. Joe Frazier - To shut fight everybody outside of the Klitschkos and demonstrate how good a fighter he really was. There was so much fight in him you would need at least two modern heavies to replicate his heart and workrate

    7. Alexis Argüello - Style and Charisma. Something a lot of modern fighters mistakenly think occurs outside of the ring

    8.Thomas Hearns - The guy lit up the ring and would do so today

    9.Eder Jofre - Finally put him in with Duran at lightweight after clearing up the modern bantams

    10.Sugar Ray Robinson -
    You don't need a reason to bring back Sugar

    Yes I would go back in time and see JFK have sex with Marilyn and kill her, who made Mary pregnant, Marqui de Sade's antics, you get the picture.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
