    So you would basically launch a verbal attack on him?

    I'd have to go for Ali not just one of the greatest fighters but one of the greatest people ever.

    I'd ask him foir his thoughts on the issues between muslims and other religions and how he thinks it could be improved.

    I'd ask him on his thoughts on the second Liston fight and the 'phantom punch'. I always thought there was more to it....

    I'd ask him about his Parkinsons Syndrome and if he truly believes that boxing played no part in his current health situation. Was it worth it ?

    I'd ask him what his biggest regret is. We all have them but Ali's would no doubt be 'The Greatest'

    I'd ask all of these after about an hour of simpy staring open mouthed in awe at unquestionably one of the greatest fighters who ever lived and a man who shaped and continues to shape a country and several generations of people.

    I'd have Mr Pacquiao around for a chat and a non-alcoholic beverage. I'd then ask him if he fancied some 'juice', then scrutinize and gauge his facial reaction, before innocently handing him a glass of pure orange before I get my face smashed in.
    Some people say boxing is a matter of life or death, it's not, it's far more important than that.

    I'd like to meet Floyd Mayweather. We're the same age, from the same state. I'd like to know when all the cameras are off and there aren't any crowds how he is in real life. I don't know that I'd ask him anything in particular, I'd just like to hang out with him. He seemed nice when I met him at Cobo.

    Yeah, I guess I'd have to spread out the "tough" questions in between casual chat.

    If it were possible, I'd want to hear from Sonny Liston what happened in the second Ali fight. I'd want to hear from Peter McNeely if he had any intention on actually trying to beat Tyson.

    I would invite good old Willie Pep because well, he's the Pep and he was a damn friendly and funny person with the nicest italian meal ever, good wine and a plasma t.v to look at a few fights too.

    1) Do you feel you could have beaten Sandler in the third bout with him?

    2) Beside your majestic fights with Sadie Sandler, what do you think is the defining moment of your career?

    3) Which fighter of your era had the biggest influence over you?

    4) Do you agree with Ali being generally classified as the greatest of all times?

    That would be a good start, already.
