    I’d probably fight Ali just to appreciate his grace while I’m being humiliated and torn apart

    I might as well enjoy the view, while I'm saving my life, so I'd go with 5 feet tall, 100 pounds Louisa Hawton, who holds the current World Boxing Council Interim World Female Atom Weight Title.

    I wouldn't try to hit her with any real punches, but I probably have about 19 inches in height and 165 pounds on her, so I'm thinking I could go the distance of 4 - 2minute rounds, just standing there covering up and parrying whatever she decides to throw at me, with an occasional clinch. So I'd lose a 4 round decision to her. Life saved!

    I dare say that he would do just as well.

    Joe Louis was equally intimidating in my opinion. It would be torture leading up to it.

    Can I fight Jake LaMotta of the Billy Fox fight, with the fix stipulation intact?

    No way Jake says goodbye to his title shot just to beat me up.

    Agreed with this 100 percent, even though I'm gym goer and pretty fit. I'm just not cut out for boxing, I tried it when I was younger and as stupid as this sounds, i just didn't like getting hit. Although I really enjoyed the training aspect of it.

    So Malignaggi would be right up my street, I out weigh him by like 50 pounds. So I'll just cover up let him tap away at me. And hope to land a big bomb.

    Weakest hitting minimum weight champion there is. Under the rules, I don't have to win. So give me the weakest hitting guy there is, and I'm going to just cover up and do my best to not get hurt.
