U have a time machine. 10 fighters to bring back from the past?

[Spicoli]

I'd pick up Toney at the Waffle House and bring him back as 93-94'...hand him a microphone and watch him stand in front of Junior Chavez at the very same Waffle House shouting "GOT MILK..HUH..GOT MILK BABY"

nice thread. as finito said, i will pick fighters that i think would make good matchups with the good divisions now.

aaron pryor- he has some super exciting fights at 140 against matthysse, provo, alvarado, JMM, etc.

ray robinson- gets to fight floyd at WW then he can move up and fight canelo, cotto, martinez, ggg, etc.

tommy hearns- i love his right hand. it is devastating and i would love to see how floyd would try to adjust.

willie pep- it would be great to see him fight rigo to show what true great boxing is. he would embarass donaire even worse than rigo did.

henry armstrong- super exciting fighter that wouldnt let up

george foreman- i would love to see him walk through the HW division and KO wlad in 1 round.

roy jones- perfect time for him to be in the SMW and LHW classes with tons of good fights with ward, froch, kovalev, stevenson, etc.

rocky marciano- i just want to see what he does against crusierweights today and maybe even LHWs.

harry greb- there is no fight footage of him so im saying him so that i could see him fight

jim jeffries- kind of the same reason as greb because we dont have any prime footage of him and supposedly he was great at taking punishment as well as giving it. im sure that he would just make exciting fights.

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.

those probably arent better things

[Beanz]

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.

i always go down well

well i used to, i cant really be arsed anymore, id rather go to the pub with my mates

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
