    Dead.....I'd like to do 18 holes with Joe Louis and just talk about life.

    Living.....I'd love to sit down with Mike Tyson over a cup of coffee and break down old fight film. The dude is an ACE analyst, a rarity among fighters. And he has genuine enthusiasm for seeing the old greats.

      I'd love to see Tyson as an commentator. I think he'd be much better and have greater insight, obviously, than someone like Foreman, Jones etc. Jones is ok, Tarver is good but I'd love to see Tyson. Amusing and knows more than all of those guys.

        I actually DID see him as a commentator. Back in the '80s when he was champion he sat in with announcer team at one of the fights of one of his up coming opponents (I can't remember which one.....it's late) and he was terrific: Picking up on things the so-called professionals missed. Made the the regular color guy look look ignorant by comparison.

        Tyson's problem for that kind of work (other then his history which makes him radioactive for the networks) is his lispy voice: It just doesn't go over well with most viewers (I personally couldn't give a **** if he lisps or not: I want substance over style).

          PBF Mayweather - I could tolerate the fact that he's a complete twat as long as he kept throwing $100 bills around!

          Seriously, Shane Mosley, seems like as nice a guy as u could meet

          Him or Johnny Tapia. I think me and Tapia would get on well and he is bound to have some wild stories

              There's nothing wrong with Mike's voice. It's been known and loved for almost 3 decades! I find it incredible and a bit of a waste that HBO/Showtime had never made him any offers in that line knowing how much money he had generated for them over the years. Besides that, I'm sure he could use a good job now and I don't recall seeing anyone more knowledgeable about the sport. INGRATES!!

                  The fact that he's a rapist just may have something to do with it. There's a reason why O.J. Simpson isn't on the NBC crew anymore.

                    Tyson's knowledge of the history of boxing is greatly overrated. He watched a few tapes of jack dempsey and tony canzanori, that hardly makes him an "expert"

                    He doesn't even follow boxing anymore
