    :lol:

    I'd actually love that, too.

    I'll put McCain's name on my special list with guys like Sly Stallone and Mickey Rourke!

    :good

    I don't think you can possibly have a better guest at this particular time. I can see how Abraham might not woo the public....any intentions on getting any of the others in there?

    Well we are working on Jermain Taylor, and will be looking into Dirrel, Ward, Kessler....and as for Abraham I dont think his English is good enough for a radio interview...but If he has a translator on the show im sure we could get a interview with him.

    I actually did that already and never heard back.

    I'll look into a new method of contacting him.

    I was in touch with him not long after we had Larry Holmes on the show, but after initially expressing interest, he never got back to me.

    Oh another possible idea is some of the mexican fighters. Barrera and Morales speak english pretty good. I do remember seeing a Barrera interview in english before and it went just fine.

    I would like to get all four of them, and have taken minor steps towards finding contact info for two of them.

    You think their English is good enough for a radio interview?

    Chuvalo is always a good interview
    Any reasonably known boxing judge (not named Lederman) - TONS to ask
    Ving Rhames - that Liston movie has to be coming out soon (??)
    Troy Ross - also involved in Liston movie (played Patterson, I think)
    Paul Briggs - just all around interesting guy
    Jorge Castro - not sure how his English is, but a modern fighter with 140+ fights has a story or two

    Can i make a suggestion that you do an interview of Ted Lowrie.

    He is one of the very few fighters to go the distance with Rocky Marciano. I am not sure of how his health is, but if he is okay, it is an opportunity which would not present itself to often.
