    What fighter would you place on an old school lunch box? Remember the old metal lunch boxes that came with a thermos when you were a kid, who would you put on that lunch box? Maybe a Mike Tyson, or maybe a Sonny Liston. Let's hear some fighters that you would put on them, they used to put television show pictures on those lunch boxes.

    Maybe Muhammad Ali on the outside training, skipping rope, hitting the heavy bag. On The Thermos, I would have painted, Butterflies that are floating and Bees that are stinging.

    For me, it would be "Smokin Joe"--(My all-time favorite fighter--nobody had more heart and at his peak he fought like a ferocious pit-bull! And there was not one ounce of phoniness about him!!)

    Lunch box - George Foreman (Older, pleasantly plump version)…seems apt. If I can’t have George, I guess Butterbean will have to do.

    Thermos - Aaron Pryor, because it will contain my special “mix” to give me that extra pep to get through my day.

    When I was a kid, I had a metal lunch box with The Fantastic Four emblazoned on it; you know, the comic book heroes.

    In remembrance of that, I'd have a Fab Four lunchbox.

    Beatles or the boxing version, don't care.

    I had a lunchbox with The Guns Of Will Sonnett on it, it was red. I do remember The blue Beatles lunchboxes.

    Jack Dempsey standing over Gene Tunney, who's down in the corner, in a wrecked heap, ready to rise after a 15 count. Lol.

    Not James Toney.

    It would be empty by the time you got to school.
