An Evening with 4 Fighters Past or Present.

A qiute night with Jack Kid Berg :rofl dont think so :rofl

 

hmmmm tough one

ill go for:

1. Roberto Duran - legend, seems like hes a good fellow whos up for a good time

2. Jake la Motta - interesting guy, very open and again a legend

3. Nigel Benn - first boxer i was a fan of, he comes accross well and i think hed be a good laugh

4. Manny Pacquiao - top boxer of nowadays, chose over mayweather cause i reckon mayweather would get on m y tits after a while

 

Oh yes, get many singing!!!

 

Past

Alexis Arguello - Such a classy man, respectable and very friendly. Surely would be a great guest.

Barney Ross - Again a top lad with a bit of a 'chancer' spirit about him.

Ezzard Charles - Again classy guy.

Charley Burley - ditto


Living

Bernard Hopkins - Would be great to talk boxing with

Juan Manuel Marquez - My second favrouite boxer today (aside Hopkins), classy guy and an honest pro.

Jason Booth - Seems a real down to earth guy, knows his boxing also.

Carmen Basilio - Would inject some fun into the party with his stories and critiques.

 

I want to party,so-
Roberto Duran
Ricardo Mayorga
Mickey Ward
Chris Arreola
:good

 

Liam Walsh
Michael Walsh
Ryan Walsh
Steve Barnes

 

Gatti - y did he do it. y did he keep getting up what drove him in his fights
Tyson - know more about the sport than most
Froch - fav fighter at the mo has some corking put downs pre fight -hes cool
Lacy - just to see what he thought of being completely taken too school

 

You could get Froch to bring his missus as well as long as she promised to keep her mouth shut. :hey

I like how you picked Lacy ahead of Calzaghe

 

:dead

 

Jack Dempsey
Max Baer
Bummy Davis
Rocky Marciano

 

Danny Williams, Marvin Hagler, Paulie Malignaggi, Michael Katsidis.

 

Tyson-Would love to discuss boxing history with him and pick his brains on a fighter I've never seen him mention, Harry Greb.

Alexis Arguello-I assume they don't have to still be alive?!? The guy was a Gent, funny as ****, but a true hero of the sport for me and one I'd love to discuss composite punching and Nicaraguan politics with.

Carl Froch-Would be hilarious. I'd see how many bottles he can smash into his own chin and ask him fighters about today's operators. For a blend of deadpan hilarity and sheer intensity, Frochy has a lot to offer. Would love to see a drunkard front him, just tosee Frochy dismiss him with a simple glare and promise of 'annihilation'

Fighting Harada-His era of Bantams was the greatest of all time, and he is my favourite out of the lot. Hearing his memories of Kingpetch, Rudkin, Jofre, Rose, Famechon (and Willie Pep!) plus his thoughts on the likes of Olivares, Zarate, Pintor and other great Bantams, and see how he wouldve approached those fights would be quality too. Truly a P4P ATG and essentially one of the few genuine 3-weight World Champions. Notice how I didn't have to wrap quote marks around that achievment.

There are many more, but a meal followed by a few jars at the bar with these four would be fascinating stuff.
