Career advice for the greats of the past

Id go back and tell Tyson not to take the Douglas and Holyfield fights. Id also tell him not to take Miss Washington to his room, no matter how late it is and no matter much shes gagging for it

 

Best advice I could give all of 'em: SAVE YOUR MONEY!

 

Jeffries: Stay retired,and don't fight Johnson.

Johnson: Keep lower profile with them white women.

Dempsey: Fight Wills. Defend your title atleast once a year.

Schmeling: (in 1933) Get your family out of Germany and take U.S citizenship.

 

Gene Tunney: don't retire until you've fought and beaten both Max Schmeling and Jack sharkey.

 

Marcel Cerdan: Do not get on that plane

 

lol why not tell Tyson to stay with Rooney who you Tyson fans say was a good trainer? Instead of ghetto buddies Brigh£ And $nowell, teh gang$ta pals?? Or do you know Tyson would never beat Big Bus Douglas And 34 yr old Holyfeild?? :think:think

 

I would tell him not to fight those 2 because hes not ready in current state

Even if i went back in a time machine and told Tyson about Don King, Robin Givens, Kevin Rooney....he wouldnt listen

 

Schmeling likely would have gotten the title shot with Braddock and would have been the first man to regain the title. The Nazis would have probably still used that as a propaganda tool for Aryan...make that German supremacy.

 

Dempsey: fight langford and ask him to teach you after the fact.

 

How about Jack Dempsey:
Dont take the dive, it isnt worth it.

Tommy Burns:
Maybe the colour line might not hurt so much.

Harry Greb.
How about putting a few of your filmed archives in a safe place.

John L Sullivan
Arrange for a few filmed exhibitions, particularly the McCormick fight.

Sonny Liston
Duck Ali for a while longer.

Muhammed Ali/George Foreman - How about finding a different Promoter.

 

I would've told Jeffries to fight Johnson while he was still in his prime...or near it anyway. I would've told Dempsey to fight Wills and to stay active, to get the hell out of Hollywood and Greb to make sure many of his fights were filmed for Chrissakes!

 

Dempsey and Jeffries 'don't fight those brothas'

 

I wouldn't say a single word to them.I would listen to what they had to say,and that's what no one did.
