One boxer you would love to chat with...........
I'm a bit pissed, wife been on nights and generally after 3 nights away from home and missing the 'old man' I have to have a few Whiskies to make the moment of passion last, im rambling please excuse me, im off the St John's Wart by the way and doing ok.

There has been lots of chat on this forum about yesteryear and boxers etc, but I thought about who would you most like to chat with if you had the chance. i'm sure we have all our favourite boxers but im also sure that lots of our favourite boxers would not hold a conversation for more than 5 minutes, proberly on the par talking about physics with David Beckham.
So if you had the chance to delve who would you like to chat with.
My option would be Paul Sykes from Wakefield. He had so much chit going on in his head that I would love to chat with him about it. Ive know people who have known him and said it was an experience talking to him.
Apart from him Chris Eubank Sr would be a eye opener.

mine would be tyson , he comes across as a very clever guy who can talk about most subjects plus some of his stories would be amazing both about boxing and his private life . i met tim witherspoon and he is a great guy really funny and completely down played his own achievments and he like a drink so it was a good night .

Paul Sykes would of been quite a way down the list, if some of the stories from his prison days are to be believed.

Exactly. He'd be very near the bottom of everyone in the world, including non boxers.Old bones Ian wrote:Paul Sykes would of been quite a way down the list, if some of the stories from his prison days are to be believed.

Depends on the situation really. If we're talking about just a boxing chat then Emannuel Steward would be incredible, but if we're talking about a pint & casual chat over a game of pool, I'd prefer someone like Jamie Moore.
Tyson does seem like a decent guy these days, but I'd be constantly afraid of accidentally upsetting him & unleashing his nasty side.

Re: One boxer you would love to chat with...........
I wouldn't want to talk to Tyson. Just too on edge and prone to being a dick even with people are seemingly being fine with him.
Re: One boxer you would love to chat with...........
I'd love a day with michael Gomez either if it's a chat or a chat over a few pints pure legend love his story's
Re: One boxer you would love to chat with...........
I had a lengthy conversation with Tyson Fury once. He was decent value to be fair...
I'd quite like to have a couple of light ales and a chat with Barry McGuigan. I read his autobiography but I felt that there was a lot more to him than what was written.

Having a pint with Ricky Hatton would be a fun occasion one would think.
Re: One boxer you would love to chat with...........
I'd also like a pint and chat with my old fighting partner Marc Callaghan talk about the old days when we we're enemy s then real good friends anyone got his number pm me it as changed phone s and can't seem to find his number cheers
Re: One boxer you would love to chat with...........
James Toney or Jose Luis Castillo
I don't know if Castillo can speak English or not, but if we had a translator I think it would be an interesting conversation. Toney I think would be amusing to talk to.

had to google Paul Sykes
like this comment on wiki
"One of his habits was to spit in a pint and steal it from its owner. One time in the late 1980s in a Wakefield pub near the prison he did this and was savagely beaten outside the pub when he left."
thatll teach him
