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
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Honestly, I'd be tempted to bring back the 90's american Heavyweights. Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, Moorer, Bowe etc. I just loved the Heavyweights of that era and it'd add a bit of interest to the division right now.
I'd make a motion to bring back Ad Wolgast and Harry Greb as honorary motivational speakers for Hbos fighters. They'd yell in grainy black & white silhouettes using these old timey radio snappy drawls and remind half those young bloated slackers about the days when a guys pre fight meal was a plate of boiled dirt and having to whipe ones ass with cold railroad spikes and rocks!!! Stress that tomorrows are not promised regardless of your promotion, or how much Bob Scarum Arum wants to ride your shiny new arse into the record books no matter how high the bullshit needs stacking. The importance of proper weight and don't be afraid of added roadwork in mining boots and huge hats and to pull that damn tree stump on a chain the extra yard if need be...Yeeh Seeeee Yeh! Then I'd sign Greb in a freak show fight with Wilder and bet a few hundred in him chewing through those tweety bird legs and making him stay on the stool![]()
