I'd call Carl Froch and ask him what it was like to fight George Groves in front of 80,000 people at Wembley.

I would have to ring Mike Tyson, as for what I would ask him, I genuinely dont know.

I would love to be in his company just for 10-15 minutes as he is the biggest reason I am the boxing fan I am now.

"Did you ra....."

Nah on second thoughts better keep it light,he seems the touchy type

I met Mike in Essex at one of his chats, i blagged a photo opportunity with him that i hadn't paid for and as such didn't get the resulting pic (although i did try to get a copy). All i could do was utter the words, Mike your a legend. He smiled and seemed very soft natured. He had ballooned in weight and his hands were like huge pillows. He was great on the stage and seemed like a changed man. i.e. calm and less aggressive. I explained to people the next day how he seemed a changed man, then on the Monday he punched a reporter in the face for invading his privacy!! made me look a right tit!!

A load of hot air more like....

Only kidding - I find his spiel a bit draining, but at least he's not bland or anodyne.

I'd hang up on Duke McKenzie. (Love ya, Duke!)

Seriously, I'd probably ask Calzaghe for info on his running routes, and then fire up Google Earth for a gander. He ran his hills, that one. I'd happily chat to most advocates of old-school training.

(Modern methods are better, but I enjoy hearing about the character-building stuff. Nigel Mansell once buggered his legs during a run by swerving all over the shop down a potholed lane.)

Wlad would just need Akinwande in his camp

Props to Carl, he stole the show on May 2nd.

I'd call Randall Tex Cobb. I don't know what I would ask him but I'm pretty sure his answer would be well worth the cost of the call.

He really isn't. He's as clued up as anyone on boxing, too. I guess his wealthy family are all simpletons, too? They've just not had conventional education so come across differently, but are far, far from being simple.

I have to agree he lacks on class. But he is not stupid.

The plot thickens.

The penny drops

The cookie crumbles.
