    Tyson:: hire Rooney again straight after prison, before prison you went 35-0 with Rooney, but only a crap 2-1 with Snowell and Bright, then 4-0 with Richie. Why get back with team Snowell and Bright, when they already let you down as **** trainers who gave ******ed idiot advice and a ****ing condom for your swollen eye?

    I'd tell Evander Holyfield to retire right after the 1997 rematch with Michael Moorer.

    I'd tell Joe Frazier to duck George Foreman.

    Probably would tell Ray Leonard to fight Pipino Cuevas before fighting Roberto Duran, though that would mess up a lot of plans.....

    Obviously if Jeffries beats Johnson, he wins a big premium in legacy terms. He could even pick a green version of Johnson and dictate favourable terms.

    Choynski gets enough credit for sparking a pre world class Johnson!

    I'd tell Sugar Ray Robinson in 1951 to give Charley Burley a shot at the middleweight championship.

    Also would tell Alexis Arguello to unify the 130 lbs title against Sammy Serrano before going to lightweight.

    I would tell them to give up boxing and make the internet.

    I would also tell Muhammad Ali to stop screwing around with women and take care of his body.

    Could Ali have done that much more outside of his losses?

    Prety good compliment.

    I'd tell Robinson to pace himself better in the Maxim fight.

    Dempsey - fight your no.1 contender of 7 years, fight blacks, fight that middleweight who is schooling all of your title contenders

    Make the fight with Johnson as soon as viable. Keep fighting after Munro for a couple of years. Retire just before Johnson beats his way back to the title. Stay retired. That could make him #3.

    Refuse the Willard fight unless it's over 15/20. I'd also try to make him see that he's not strong enough to do what it is he has in his eye and try to get him to cool it a bit. Can't see me getting anywhere there. I'd also try to get him to rematch Langford in the run up to the Jeffries fight.

    Fight Greb. Make sure it's over the longest distance you can organise.

    Fight Wills.

    I'd advise Lopez step up to take on Carbajal and Gonzalez, whatever the cost.

    Corbett: stop fighting, a man with your style in this era of boxing has next to no longevity, then echo this sentiment down the years to everyone who carried on too long

    Jeffries: take on johnson before retiring, probably the only reason you don't occupy everyone's top ten list.

    Johnson: give mcvey, langford and jeanette a shot at the title.

    Dempsey: fight wills and greb before taking your hollywood vacation

    Tunney: stay around another 2 years and fight sharkey and max.

    Tyson: fight spoon or holyfield instead of douglas.

    Holmes: please unify the belts and nip thirty years worth of arguing in the bud.
