Which boxer would you wear across your chest?

If you were going to get a t-shirt let's say, which fighter would you want on there as the design, just sounding people out. Apologies for the off-topicness of this, but I thought this group would be a good test-bed.

Business venture, eh? to answer the question I would say De La Hoya, Tszyu and Felix Trinidad.

Stanley Ketchel or Matthew Saad Muhammad

Ok, I'll start in case anyone is too shy. I would have to say Hagler, his bald menacing head would look very good on a t-shirt.

double J
Jack Johnson!!!!!

I would say the old time boxers would be more 'trendy', LaMotta, Robinson, Louis, Marciano, those kind of guys.

I'm with Goz - anyone bar Ali!

Well yes, I think Iconic fighters would be the best to use.

Ali, Hagler, Leonard, Marciano, Louis, holy, Tyson spring to mind....

I am thinking along the lines of designs that appeal to boxing nuts, but not JUST boxing nuts. I mean, Che Guevara has been reproduced a zillion times, how many of those people are into politics, how many people even know who Guevara was?

Tyson and Ali will always sell well as they are known to people who dont even like boxing!!

Duran!

jamesmcdonnell · Post by **jamesmcdonnell** » 15 Jan 2004, 11:28

Duran another good one, chavez would look good too, right kind of angularity to the face. Frazier is another who would look good.

From my limited experience on the net, I would say the most popular British fighters are David Haye, Lennox and Naz.

jamesmcdonnell · Post by **jamesmcdonnell** » 15 Jan 2004, 11:40

I would bet that not many people would want a picture of Lewis on their chest though. He just doesn't look as cool as Tyson. I don't think I would wear Lewis on my chest, much as I admire him as a heavyweight champion, he doesn't have that iconic status. Not yet anyhow.

bennie · Post by **bennie** » 15 Jan 2004, 11:41

Tommy Hearns always looks pretty cool in head shots.

bennie · Post by **bennie** » 15 Jan 2004, 11:44

What about some novelty T-shirts. Perhaps, a pic of Gavin Evans and allegedly having a cuddle, or one of Matthew Barney in formidable action.

jamesmcdonnell · Post by **jamesmcdonnell** » 15 Jan 2004, 11:48

Yeah or in bed together lighting up their cigarettes.....

Maybe we could have a picture of Roger Tillerman screwing Robin Reid, at least that's based on reality....

Chambers · Post by **Chambers** » 15 Jan 2004, 11:48

I'd like to have Laila Ali on my chest and I'd like to be on Laila Alis chest

bennie · Post by **bennie** » 15 Jan 2004, 11:49

Or Spud giving Howard Eastman a blow job.

jamesmcdonnell · Post by **jamesmcdonnell** » 15 Jan 2004, 11:49

Mmmmm, Laila Ali is right up my......ali.....

JimStone · Post by **JimStone** » 15 Jan 2004, 11:56

If you're the sort of people who want pictures of hunky men on your chest I'd suggest the infamous 'Pink Pounder'.

Whatever happened to The Pink Pounder? Now, that was a classic.
