    I’ve had a few dreams where weirdly you have the feeling that you know it’s a dream but you go along with it until it comes to an end or you abruptly end it yourself if you don’t like how things are unfolding in your dream by somehow just trying to wake yourself up. If I dreamt I was fighting Liston but it was one of those occasions where somehow I was aware that it wasn’t real,I would probably swing hell for leather and just slug it out with him.

    Do you think that maybe you are a boxer or puncher? I will let you decide that, but I do believe a boxer who can take Sonny Liston into the fight late always has a chance.

    In the real world, I am a 5' 5'' swarmer, so not a great start.

    Can I at least be a Jimmy Young style spoiler please?

    You know a Jimmy Young style could frustrate Sonny Liston, look how Eddie Machen who was flattened by Ingo in 1958 managed to last 12 rounds with Sonny on Sept 7 1960. If you employ the Young style against Sonny, you could win on points.

    Forget style, can I just look like Geraldine? Then Sonny might not hit me…..well at least I hope he wouldn’t.

    Bring Walcott back from the dead- He'll rig the fight for you like he did for Ali.
