    I don`t know but I met Nigel Benn once when I was 12 at a boxing venue in London and he once said Tyson wasn`t that intimidating when you meet him in real life outside the ring and that Iran Barkley wax more intimidating in person. They reckon men used to shudder with desire when Marilyn Monroe would walk into a room, so what would happen if she was alive and walked into the room and Marciano walked in at the same time? Would your knees go weak?

    Marciano is too young for my liking. I'd only tremble if the real fighting men of yesteryear stumbled in. The likes of Hurricane Harry Greb, Battling Jim Johnson, Jack Johnson, John L Sullivan, Sam Langford and James J Corbett! I'd put my pipe and New York Times newspaper aside, and embrace them with a firm handshake. They don't make them like Battling Jim no more.

    Well after meeting Shannon Briggs at the weekend and seeing the size of him and then looking at the size difference between Briggs and Joshua i know who I'd rather face. I'm over 6ft and 17 stone, give me the midget anytime......

    Genuinely would like to see Briggs' fist size. He has the biggest fists I've ever seen of a boxer. They look bigger than Liston's.

    AJ would use Marciano to floss his teeth.

    Briggs' fists were huge, i suppose the HGH will have given him massive bone growth.
