    :D

    It would take what I call "life-changing money". Probably several hundred thousand dollars.

    If i could get the "broken ribs-only" package from Cotto for a couple hundred thou, i'd sure try to get that.

    Same here.


    I'd ask for minimum $500K but hold out and hope to get close to $1 million

    I am assuming I have enough time to get ready conditionally and mentally, with a good trainer. I would take the percentage of money equal to my chance in the fight- 40%- And that's because they have the name. Dollar amount? I don't know, If I thought I could win (which I would), less than $100,000 so I could get better fights. I think if I was in the condition they are in, I would beat either one of them. I have always maintained that.

    Anything in 5 figures and I'm there. I might even train for it. If he throws in front row tickets for Cotto/Mayweather I may even throw a punch

    Unless you're a boxer, and a pretty decent one, you Definitely wouldn't win.

    About 30 years ago, a friend of mine (over 6 ft and around 180 lb, and a decent scrapper) was playing soccer when he got slide-tackled by, in his words, 'a wee runt of a lad'.

    He didn't like the tackle so when he got up, in the heat of the moment, he took a swing at the tackler. The guy hit him five or six times in about two seconds. When he regained consciousness, a group of lads were leaning over him on the grass , checking if he was ok.

    One of them informed him that his intended victim was the eighth ranked junior light weight in Ireland. And he wasn't even a fulltime pro.

    My buddy got a new respect for the difference in levels between a non-boxer and even a lighter, low ranked guy who knows what he's doing.

    Pavlik or Miranda or Bernard or Kessler....

    They might KILL someone if the someone wasn't prepared.

    And a Klitchsko or even the present Tyson ?

    No amount of $$$$.

    Unless you're tired of living or (best case scenario), want to be able to park in the handicapped parking spots, pass on this one.

    I remember someone asking me how much money would it take to get me in the ring with Mike Tyson. I'd be glad to get in the ring with Kelly Pavlik for $50,000 and get hit with a jab and immediately fall down.

    I might even take a knee as soon as Kelly got off his stool.

    (Would I still get my purse-share?)

    Assuming I cannot take a knee and I HAVE TO at least try and fight as best I can, I would do it for $100,000 (but I would fish for more)
