    We've yet to see what kind of cognitive damage FMJ may display in later years, also isn't/wasn't he basically illiterate?

    I would go with Foreman because he seemed the least damaged into old age, had the grill, I just wouldn't have as many if any kids at all and the money would probably be close to FMJ

    Foreman had more marketability, as Foreman I would have more opportunities to do other things, maybe even attempt a strongman run

    Not to mention Foreman never really had haters like FMJ

    If I liked myself, then Mayweather hands down.

    Given that Mayweather might yet fall into an open sewer and die, I would prefer the life of Max Schmelling.

    Now if I didn't like myself, then I might as well be Harry Greb, and I would be dead and admired.

    Prince Nazeem Hamed

    He came, he saw, he knocked the crap out of guys. Most importantly he entertained while he did it. Until he didn't one night.

    Got his $ and enjoyed life.
