    Around my weight class I'd get to choose between those two guys, Ike Williams, Hank Armstrong, Aaron pryor, Shane Mosley, Delahoya, Chavez, etc.


    Can't say I'd be too excited about getting in there with any of them :!:

    I fear no man. I wish I could fight prime Tyson, or prime Ali, or prime Foreman. I'd only want to face the best.

    I have always feared the thought of staring at Hearns across the ring. Nigel Benn as well... and of course Tyson.

    You shouldn't fear anyone per se. That's your job to face anyone available.

    But what I really fear is the fact that I might not be alive after a contest. Death haunts every fighter each time he steps on the ring.

    How much skills do you have?

    That is a major factor. I mean if I was a 6'4 HW, as skilled as say even David Haye.

    I won't be scared of ****. You shouldn't be. But If i was a 6'1 HW as skilled as Peter Mcneeley, I would be scared of anyone above B Level.

    Na I'm kinda crazy when it comes to fisticuffs I like hitting and getting hit, but getting my ass handed to me by any legend or future legend would be the biggest honor. Rigo, Nonito, Marquez, Floyd, Maravilla, Vitali, etc. If I got my ass handed to me by a bum I wouldn't live with myself. Out of the current bunch tho, I wouldn't go toe to toe with Andy Ruiz tho. He's like the Mexican Butterbean. I will say one thing tho. If anyone can knock you out with one punch that **** would be better off then taking a prolonged beating where you'll feel everything plus the aching that comes with it for the next week or 2 after the fight! I'd rather face any headhunter in history than a body destroyer the pain just doesn't compare.
