    On second thought.. the only person I MAY pick over Ali is Jack Johnson, because alot of my casual boxing friends at work watching Unforgivable Blackness and now think Johnson is the GOAT

    Muhammad Ali,Sugar Ray Leonard or Roberto Duran.


    Would do nicely for starters.

    Do you have type of sick vendetta against SRL and Duran? Why would you want to see their bodies broken and mangled by the HW's? of today? I mean.. I am sure SRL vs Wlad would sell tickets.. but jesus christ man..

    I'm just saying he wouldn't compete at Heavy.

    He'd compete at Cruiser and even if he wiped the floor with everyone it wouldn't prove the point your trying to make. Assuming I assumed correctly the point you are making....yeah.

    I'd want Rocky to come back but given that he'd verse some cruisers i've never heard of probs wouldn't even be worth it. In that case someone like Ali or SRR should come back to excite the world about boxing again and beat the champs today.

    Could you imagine Robinson verse Pac or Mayweather? It would be awesome to watch him destroy them

    :lol:

    Great answer.

    Yeah, Tyson is the one really. He makes boxing huge again, even now.

    But personally, I would go for Langford.

    So essentialy you have to rethink a lot if I am right, or even if I am half right.

    Now you see the reason for my pick.

    It's a much bigger 'if' for you to be right than wrong. You'd have to do a lot more rethinking if you were 'half right' as you'd also be half wrong as well.

    I am a lot more forthright about the uncertainty in my predictions than others are, so I have a better exit strategy than you if I am half wrong.

    Janitard be like The Architect from Matrix III. Dude types like he's wearing a suit and we're sat in a court case. It could be insightful, his grammar is exceptional, but most likely he's full of **** and is well aware, that Pachilles is aware, that he aware.
