    To be honest I'd want to milk the belt a little before getting knocked out brutally. At least set a bit aside for retirement ...

    Galento? :eek: Jesus Christ, no.

    I was thinking by starting with Charlie Zelenoff for a belt unification with the UBF title ...

    The European, British, and Commonwealth Heavyweight champion Richard Dunn. I don't know if I could summon the courage to leave my dressing room.

    Would never want to face Foreman. Win lose or draw you’re gonna take damage

    He's got 30lb on me :lol: no thanks. Plus, my punches are so slow he could deliver his two tons of ice and be back in time to slip it ;) But Charlie Z ... I reckon I could do something there

    King Richard didn't merely box his opponents. He made them reconsider their life choices

    Absolutely.
    He even turned Ali in to a feather fist,he never stopped an opponent after fighting killer Dunn.

    Seriously, the thought of fighting a young Tyson would have me reconsidering my life.

    Muhammad Ali was never so brave as when he got in the ring with Howard Dunn.
