EH? :x

Silkov may I second your eh? Crease could you enlighten us to a greater degree as to what it is your looking for here? Maybe go back and edit your original question so it is coherent? I think I know what your want but it's like a real bad AM station coming in with lot's of static.

As Tony Galento would have said " I'll moider da bum!" or something like that...
seriously though I can't see Gene Tunney living with my Fen Shui punch, and as for Ali he'd have too be running fast to get away from my pepperpot combinations and Louis would just be a sucker for my sugarcube right hand!!....

I AM THE greeeaateeeessssstttt!!!... 8)

On second thoughts maybe he should just go back to bed eh!??... 8)

I could beat most of them in a Thermodynamics exam, I would imagine.

Not really sure what your asking though.

Actually KOJOE you have given a credible answer to the question as it currently stands.

What's the matter with you all. The question is as clear as the gap in neons pearls.
The man gives you a list of fighters and aks' who would be the easiest opponent on his list for an average fighter of your choice.
Granted, this opens up the issue of defining an average fighter, but hey, no need for thermodynamics and static here.
Chill, people.

Thank you Big Zab.

Now, imagine you were training to become a boxer, and you've trained tot he best of your ability, and you want to be the world champion...

who would you fight and from what era.

eg. I might fight Marciano becuase I think I would stand my best chance of winning the title against him...But that's just a lie!

Who would you fight?

If your a pro and a shot at the heavyweight crown comes along you take it. It wouldnt matter if Godzilla wore the belt. If the Heavyweight championship of the World was on the line , You get your ass in shape and give it a go. That oppurtunity may only come along once in your lifetime.

Buster Douglass
Shannon Briggs
Jess Willard
Floyd Patterson

BTW Klitchko was never the heavyweight champion, and except for his KO win over Lewis, Rahman has done nothing to regain the championship.


The heavyweight Champion has been vacant ever since Lennox Lewis.

Marvin Hart.
