    "Prisoner number 9437; random ESBer. Convicted in February 2025, for picking Tony Galento over Cleveland Williams. Sentence? Life in prison, without the possibility of parole."

    You have to pick one.

    Galento because I seen somewhere that Cleveland Williams attacked his spouse with a meat cleaver and had a fight called off because he was hearing voices, Galento may have had a temper, as he did apparently knockout Jackie Gleason, but that wasn’t as bad.

    I fought on a card with a guy whose nickname was The Belly, he got wiped out in one or two rounds. I'd pick The Belly as my cell mate and make him my beeotch. Wash my feet, beeeeotch! Just kidding, another man will never touch my feet unless he's a doctor.

    If we are magically buddies I’d pick James Scott or Ruben Carter they’ve been in the system and might understand the politics or how to use a knife? Maybe make one? They’re the best pick IMO big enough and mean enough.The thing is even if I pick say… Wlad, Lennox or Valuev… some 135lbs guy in max could punch a hole in you and it’s over, hand to hand fighting isn’t all that in a place where knives rule the roost…. Was Liston in max? Was Qawi? Who is the most seasoned prisoner? That’s the guy you want.

    GOOD pick as long we are in solitary otherwise the amount of fellas that’d wanna stab you to get at her… you’d be playing on hard mode brother.

    I remember watching Scott fight from a prison on Wide World of Sports many moons ago.

    Liston did 19 months in prison for a robbery as a Juvenile… Qawi spent 5 at Rahway for armed robbery and Scott did 25 for murder… Carter similar, Butler similar - provided they aren’t themselves and you’re magically there best friend those last three are your picks. I’d say Monzon but he had it easy because he was a God in South America.

    What the hell does Cleveland Williams need a meat cleaver for? That's like giving... Well, Cleveland Williams a meat cleaver! The voices in his head must've not been all too smart.

    I wonder which bout it was, he had a few televised… I know his losses to Martin and Qawi were and his great win over Eddie Mustafa… I think Mustafa could’ve been one of the greatest 175lber shame he just didn’t turn up most of the time.

    Pretty sure the Williams voices thing has been debunked as a PR myth @McGrain made a post about it I think. Williams also asked for the cleaver back from the police…
