    Bearing in mind that you want to live and avoid serious injury.

    If you had to spill your pint in the lap of a lineal heavyweight champion and suffer his reaction:

    Who would be your first choice?

    Who would be your last choice?

    Good luck.

    first choice : patterson, mostly cause floyd was a very civilized human being and i think he was the kind of guy that if he hit you onc and you where on the floor he'd stop.
    last choice : probably tyson (much speed and power) but mostly cause of his mental state.

    but if it ever occured i probably would try to push my glass in his face and hit him with an ashtray on the head just to be shure. hahahaha

    The Patterson/Tyson choices were mine exactly. Patterson has too much class to beat up a guy in a bar who isn't a dick about it and if Tyson beats up old men in fender-benders, it's a bad bet to see what would happen with a few drinks in him and a barroom audience.

    Lineal MW champ might be a better question... some interesting options there.

    Definitly Patterson, would probably apoligise for getting in the way of you. Top class guy.

    The worst pick would probably be John L. Sullivan he would have been one hardy *******.

    First choice would be either Floyd Patterson, Joe Frazier or Lennox Lewis.

    Last choice would be Jack Dempsey or Mike Tyson.

    John L would be a bit of an unknown quantity.

    He was esentialy a nice man when he was sober and a complete arsehole when he was drunk.

    If you spilled your pint in his lap then he might slap you on the back and buy you another one or he might throw you through the window.

    To be fair if you were next to John L with a pint chances are he had a pint too

    apparently Baer was quite a happy go lucky guy and would probably joke if it was an accident, im not sure but did he have a temper.

    Jack Johnson seems like a guy that would joke about it or would lose it and punch ya
