    What about the Ingo Bingo? Was it harder than Joe Louis's right hand?

    And let's be honest, Sonny opening the neighbors door is going to be the best Halloween "trick" in the city.

    Ha Ha, What about a tall glass of Honey? Or maybe a picnic basket? What if Sonny comes back with his buddies Yogi and Boo Boo?

    One of the chicks? :roflmao:

    Imagine if Ingo did replace one of the ladies, history for ever changed - new name ABBI?

    Female member Agnetha was voted to have the best a** in Europe.

    On stage, husband Bjorn, in ridiculously tight 70s pants, often looked like he was jealously vying for the same title.

    Some say Bjorn’s failure to gain the same attention toward his own derrière was a major cause of their marriage break up.

    The ruling for divorce: Irreconcilable glutes - quite the precedence but hey, they’re Swedish, we are crazy peoples, ya ya!

    Rumour has it that it was Bjorn who inspired non exhibitionist, always behind the piano, Benny to write Dancing Queen.

    Not sure though so don’t quote me on that.

    This just between you, I and the gate post good neighbour.

    Alright, fair enough. Not sure I'd ask him whether the Ali rematch was fixed or not, but I'd really want to...

    Seriously though, great point re Sonny being the common friend between Joe and Ingo.

    I wouldn’t go hard on the Q and A at the start, if at all.

    Just let them start naturally rapping between themselves and perhaps gently guide the discussion to subject matters you’d really like them to talk about but initiate in their favour and sympathetically where appropriate.

    Perhaps something like like “Hey Sonny, you looked like you were ready to get back up and go but Walcott really ballsed up the count up in Lewiston, didn’t he?. What the hell was that about? Not fair man!”

    I would provide snacks, showing them videos of the modern fighters with their training regiment of Modern (Steroids) Nutrition, and ask each how they would fight each heavyweight that I have shown them. I would then ask each of them how they like their current place of residence, to find out about the Hereafter, who have they seen? I would record their answers, an interview so to speak.

    You're probably exactly right on how to get the conversation rolling. You're mock conversation in the last paragraph would probably be about the best possible way to go about it with Liston.

    certainly would not want an awkward moment with Charles! Maybe best to keep him topped up with beer.

    I certainly won’t be impersonating a policeman around Sonny!

    Rich, you would so have to ask Sonny if that was him at the hospital.

    If you did, Sonny just might smile back at you and then wink, just before a halo materialises above his head. That’ll tell you Liston went UPtown, not DOWNtown.

    Liston will tell you that, since passing through the Pearly Gates to enter Heaven, he has been privy to the fact that it was God’s will that Sonny should beat Ali.

    However, God lamented that even HE couldn’t tell Ali what to do.

    Ali simply wouldn’t shut up so God said “Yeah, yeah, do whatever you like, just let me have some god damn peace!”
