    LOL. I’m not physically bullet proof though.

    Hello Dumpster, here I come!

    Just as well I’m a freaking, lip smacking, finger licking, freegan.

    Inverted, face down deep in there I might be lucky and find some juicy food throw aways.

    Behind every cloud…….

    OR, if you run like a broken wristed Steven Seagal (hopefully but not likely) it might make Sonny laugh hard enough and long enough for me to make haste on my own escape - heavens to murgatroyd, exit, stage left.

    To be fair, That was another really heart warming moment between fighters. And a classy example that only fight fans can understand the kindred spirit that exists between former opponents.

    Yep it's a statue of Mr Arnold Cream. Anyways, for all Liston is, he was said to be witty and actually quite fun to be around when he wasn't being a brute. I reckon he'd be a good convo but you'd probably need to be a street guy to get anything out of him. But I don't know, there are lot's of accounts of Liston being on either end of the spectrum bit like they're almost human ay?

    On seeing 3 ex world champions at the door, 2 of them heroes of mine I would probably be speechless for a few hours.
    I may even start dribbling.

    The boxer Billy Walker met him and found Sonny Rather childish. On being introduced to boxers, He said Sonny would put his hand out to shake hands then flick each guy in the balls with the back of his other hand and say “take a bow” just as he bent in half from the shock of being twanged in the nuts from the heaviest hands in boxing. At this Sonny would whoop with laughter each time. Imagine being the next in line for that!

    Well at least you'd be ready for that as you invited him in chok. You' have his right hand held with your own and could go over the top of it with a left hook before his flick got remotely close to your sack.

    It'd be Maine all over again........ with Liston in acute pain........because the mighty chok didn't refrain!!!!

    Yup it sure would.

    If I know Sonny’s coming to the front door I’m going to cushion in inside of my wheelie bin in preparation for the inevitable.

    Ingo's bingo and the hammer of thor.
    It worked on Floyd Patterson but even better on Eddie Machen.
