    Anyone associated with boxing.

    Fighters, trainers, journalists, referees.....you get the picture.

    This includes anyone from history, living or deceased.

    Who would they be and why?

    Marco Antonio Barrera
    Erik Morales
    Manny Pacquaio
    Juan Manuel Marquez
    Israel Vazquez
    Rafael Marquez

    I'd then seat the rivals next to each other and see what happens.

    Who do you think would win a fight between Ketchel and Monzon if one broke out?

    I’ve met all those fighters. The Marquez brothers really are all class. Barrera has animosity towards Marquez. Think he’s resentful or even jealous of him. Hard to really put a finger on why though.
