    George Chuvalo from all the interviews and whatnot seems like a genuinely good bloke.
    Mike Tyson, can't really go wrong with Mike.
    Sam Langford, most likely.

    The Jessie Reid choice is inspired, Addie. Great storyteller. Surprised you're familiar with him. He's largely behind the scenes.

    Merchant for every possible reason. Personifies gravitas.

    I talk to his son, Jesse Reid Jr, a lot on Facebook and I'm a big Orlando Canizales fan. I think Reid was one of the great trainers of his time, and certainly one of the best motivators I've seen. A great corner man.

    You need a couple of guys who hate one another. Like, really hate one another, because putting them in the same room means that another fight will break out for your entertainment. So, putting Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Barerra on the list is a must for me.

    Having Budd Schulberg over to watch the action and discuss all the fights that he's scene in consice, artfully worded praises could be fun. I'd say Mailer, but he probably would have tried to pick fights with the other two guests and gotten his ass kicked as a result.
