    Which fighter, now dead, would you find either the most fascinating, or the most intimidating/scariest to be visited from the dead one evening?

    Facinating and scariest would be Sonny Liston. I would ask him how he died, and if he showed up, I would know it can't be good, and he would most likely kill me.

    Yep, I like to think of this picture as being titled 'People you wouldn't want to meet on a dark night'

    Jack Johnson, because I wouldn't have the advanced warning to hide the women of the family.

    The fact that I'd been visited by the dead would be chilling enough, I wouldn't care who it was.

    John l sullivan would be great to have a chat with,he bridges the gap between the old school,and modern boxing,so would be nice to hear what he thinks of all the greats from boxings early years.
    But yeah liston would be great to,id love to ask him if he threw the ali fight,and if so was it because of the mafia,or because the nation of islam told him to,i read that somewhere to,would be cool to find out.
