If You Were An Heavyweight Champion..?

Kid Dynamite

 

William The Prussian Sherriff

 

Absolutely. I don’t care how good I was, having to deal with fending him off would have been an incredibly challenging task, let alone trying to add any kind of offensive attack to that. Plus, when he hit guys, it looked like it hurt them so much. It is one of the things that made him different from Foreman or Liston. Sure, those guys knocked people out sometimes in devastating fashion, but for whatever reason Tyson’s knockouts looked so much more painful.

 

Dempsey
Liston
Tyson
Lewis
Usyk

 

Sounds the practical thing to do Fergy.

I would choose Ali because he was known to have told the referee to stop the fight if his opponent was taking too much punishment occasionally.

 

You want a good milking?

How about making your first defence against an MMA guy making his boxing debut.

Rinse repeat for your second defence against a guy crossing over from kick boxing.

Finally, before the public tires of your novel approaches, make your third defence against an Olympic Boxing Gold Medalist on his pro debut - yes, I am stealing that one from the Patterson/D’Amato heavily protected title reign playbook.

I mean, all extremely low risk/high reward fights.

Three nice, all too easy and lucrative defences under you belt before you let reality bite you on the ass.

What could possibly go wrong? It’s a fail safe plan/schedule. Trust me bro!

 

Depends on how good I am and what I'm particularly good at stylistically

 

I’m actually rather fond of my ears so Mike Tyson is a definite no.

Nor would I want Tyson Fury taking the opportunity to lick my blood. Eww!

While there are many who I would politely decline one guy who sprung to mind immediately is prime Joe Frazier.

Who in their right mind would want any of that smoke?

 

I don't know... depends on how good I was and what kind of fighter I would be, but definitely not Golota.

 

Just so long as the folks involved aren't 6 foot 6

 

Foreman or Tyson

 

Well, I have another guy who just limbos under that threshold by 1/4” - the one and only Primo Carnera.

Just keep sticking and moving for the whole 15 rounds, being mindful not to get caught by Da Preem’s killer uppercut.

Run backward and forward between his legs to avoid his punches if necessary.

Not pretty (though good for comical value for which the judges may still score you points) but a win is a win.

 

You...take...that...'n'...out of that 'An' or I swear to Gawl...
