If you had a time machine???

If you had a time machine and could go back to give advice to any fighter from any era what would it be?? For example.. Go back and tell tyson to hang the hell on to Kevin rooney

 

Id tell Jim Corbett to defend his title against Peter Jackson. I'd tell Jim Jeffries to defend against Jack Johnson.
Johnson to defend against Langford,Dempsey against Wills.
On Tyson, I'd say stay with Cayton &co.

 

I'd tell Greb and Flowers to not to have eye surgery, and Marciano not to get on that plane.

 

Tell Sanders to hit the f*cking gym instead of the golf course. Of course, it wouldn't help

 

Greb went into have an operation on his nose to ease his breathing.

 

I'd more than likely use it to effect something slightly more important than a boxing match.

 

I'd tell Ali not to join Islam.

 

I believe Islam is probably what sustained him in his later years.

 

I wouldn't exactly call that a good thing, the poor man was a sorry state for years on end.

 

Then how was he supposed to break free from the mob and have the protection he needed to be a loudmouth revolutionary in the 60's?

You'd get the man killed!

 

He was the best fighter on the planet, he would have survived just fine.

 

Could he take out the entire mob with his jab alone?

 

I very much doubt he would have needed to.

 

Advise Dempsey to defend his title against Harry Wills.

 

Needed to what? Use his jab or fight off the mob?
