    In the 1970's, wasn't there a Muhammad Ali playset? I recall it coming with a ring and action figures of Ali, Frazier, and a generic third fighter. It was sort of rock 'em sock 'em robots thing.

    I was ten at that point. I remember seeing the Superman - Ali oversize comic pop up on the newsstand. It was shortly after Ali lost to Leon Spinks. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why it was coming out then when Ali was DONE. I didn't buy it. D'oh!

    So there would be a collection of All Time Greats, Current Contenders, Bum of the Month Collection and a collection that would be whatever Manuel Charr is.

    How about a supplemental collection, that includes great refs and four great promoters. Who wouldn’t want a little action figure of Arthur Mercante or Don King???

    Morrison was in Rocky he would most likely appeal more to the main audience that buy action figures opposed to Jack Johnson.

    I like the foreman idea, a lot.

    George Foreman 70s. 3 (limited edition)
    Ken Norton. 4 (limited edition)
    Rivals pack#1 featuring red trunks Ali and Joe Frazier.
    Rivals pack#2 featuring post prison Tyson and Evander Holyfield.
    Modern big three bundle with Fury, Wilder and AJ sold together in the normal outfits and seperate in various costumes (wilders masks, Fury as Apollo ect)
    And Jack Dempsey, Rocky Marciano Lennox Lewis and Riddick Bowe all only buyable online.

    I think Reggie Hammond sells them on line.

    Money up front, no refunds.

    If you purchase the complete collection, I'm told you get a complimentary T-shirt.
