Invite Four People From The Boxing Biz to Dinner....

Can I administer truth serum prior to the dinner conversation?

Sonny Liston
Don King
Oscar De La Hoya
Nat Fleischer

 

Mickey Walker ( fights, wives, gangsters, prohibition, and GREB )
Jack Johnson ( his stand, what he went through, and he could play 5 instruments )
Gene Tunney ( a scholar, mixed with the elite of his time, well read and GREB )
Georges Carpentier ( fly to heavy ! got to be interesting, war hero, and more importantly how many women )
Joe Grim ( touch him, feel him, why was he sooo tough, who hit him the hardest )

 

I am here for you now matey...

 

Muhammad Ali
Sonny Liston
Joe Louis
Jack Johnson

Be interesting to see what Louis and Liston will bring to the conversation.

Angelo Dundee

Tim Ryan

Howard Cosell

 

Carlos Monzon, Muhammad Ali, Alexis Arguello and Salvador Sanchez.

 

I actually got to hang with Marvin Johnson and Morales for a while at the IBHOF last year. My Spanish is pretty shitty, but he seemed like a fun guy. And Marvin was as nice of a guy as you could ever meet.

 

As I had mentioned before, I ran into Carlos Monzon at the March 24 1979 bout, Sugar Ray Leonard vs Daniel Gonzalez. I was on my way to get a beer as it was a very short bout, TKO 1 for Ray, Amilcar Brusa threw in the towel. Well I saw Carlos, we saw each other face ro face, he was tall, I called out his name, we nodded to each other, he just smiled.

 

That is one of the neatest things I have heard in a long time. What a great encounter! Glad you repeated your story, or I would have missed it.
Very cool.
