If You Were Allowed To Spend A Day With One Fighter Past Or Present, Who Would It Be?

Think I would most like to spend a day with Chris Eubank just too listen to all the crazy **** he has to say.
On a side note.
Mike Tyson recently came to Blackpool and I got a chance to grab a VIP Ticket (150 £ well spent) to a event which was being held for him at a Hilton Hotel, had a meal and drink with him and unfortunately plenty of other people, I couldn't really get a word in with him and had to leave early to go to the hospital after some ****** ***** went n got stabbed which ruined my evening.
Tim Witherspoon, Tony Tucker and Brian London were there as well, all really laid back people except I think Brian was getting kinda annoyed because Witherspoon and Tyson were getting all the attention in his hometown and he was getting next to none.

I figure we would have a nice chilled day, talking about the matchups we'd like to see today, reminisce about the fights he had in the past, and the atg's of boxing history. Get an in depth look at what was going through his mind before his first ever professional fight, what was going through his mind when he fought for the championship at 19 years old, and many other things.
We would also have a blast at about 9pm when we started to kick back some beers and close out a night at the booby bar like true Champions, conquering women.
Love live the Great Mike Tyson.Originally posted by CarlosG815 View PostGreat piece of footage. I could listen to Mike talk fighters all day. Thanks for sharing, I hadn't seen that in a while.
I've said it before and I'll say it until they shovel the dirt on me that if there was one fighter I'd want to sit down over cups of coffee and break down old fight films with it's Tyson. He's the one fighter I can think of that has major respect and even reverence for the old-school fighters. He's also the best fight analyst among former fighters that I've ever heard. He spots things going on in the ring that the network analysts (including the trainers and former fighters) typically miss.

I'd love to sit and talk with Tyson for the reaons that Poet pointed out earlier.
Although I must admit I have seen next to no film on him I'd love to spar James Toney(minus the trash talk) and see him pick apart the flaws in my game that I have with ease.

Ali, then Frazier and then Floyd Patterson. Patterson would be interesting as hell re: psychology of the sport.
