    And then I give my seat to Mike Tyson, in exchange for the dinner being recorded. Would be hilarious.

    Mike Tyson:

    Say what you will, Tyson went through a three hundred million dollar fortune and I'll bet he has some of the best dinner stories ever.

    Marvelous Marvin Hagler: My favorite boxer.

    Sugar Ray Robinson: Needs no explanation as he is widely considered, pound for pound, to be the best to ever lace them up.

    Who would you invite if you stuck to my stipulations (three different weight classes)?

    Bobby Chacon, Cassius Clay circa 1962 and Manny Pacquiao.

    They seem like three good guys.

    @Saintpat as any Star Trek fan will tell you, the device which through "some sort of magic everyone is able to understand everyone else to facilitate conversation." is called the Universal Translator.

    Any three guys who were well spoken and decent human beings. Henry cooper and sugar Ray Leonard might account for two of them

    I’m a huge Trek fan, haha. Strange New Worlds is the best take on the Trek universe yet imo.

    I actually thought about referencing the universal translator but didn’t figure anyone would get it.

    Since I’ve already hung out with Tex Cobb and only one heavyweight allowed, I’ll go with:

    Muhammad Ali

    Sean O’Grady

    Archie Moore (yeah I know he fought at heavy but I’m inviting him at 175, haha)

    Back in my Texas days I was at a Black Tie deal in Dallas Tx Where the millionaires come out to play. They had Pro Boxing as the cabaret. at the table we were at were guests Smokin' Joe Frazier, Earnie Shavers & The Raging Bull Jake La Motta Man that was awesome . It was then Earnie told us he was making his ill fated comeback fight. Joe was grinning so I said' " Are you thinking of coming back Joe" he laughed & said " No Sir my gloves were hung up a long time ago" Then a voice said " Keep it under your hat but I'm planning a comeback too. Give me 6 weeks in the gym I'd beat any of todays Middleweights no sweat " lol It was a great experience for me. I do have a souvenier my Boxing Official pass that all 3 signed for me

    Yes, I have enjoyed Strange New Worlds quite a bit. O'Grady is a good choice.
