How is life in Scotland nowadays ? :hi:

[Thread Stealer]

1) Muhammad Ali: charismatic star, arguably the most famous figure sports has known
2) Mike Tyson: refer to above, only in a different way
3) Rocky Marciano: entertaining brawler with a likeable personality. Skin color doesn't hurt either for popularity and mainstream appeal.
4) Joe Louis: Imagine having the two most entertaining KO artists ever in the same division at the same time.
5) Ernie Shavers: I like it when there's heavyweights who can punch.
6) Razor Ruddock: another guy who can crack. I loved "the smash".
7) Chris Byrd: throw in a defensive specialist in there for some variety.
8) Frank Bruno: Some global variety instead of all fighters from the states. Also had a nice jab and heavy hands.
9) Lamon Brewster: I guess he should be "top contender" instead of "good journeyman" as he's been a contender and titlist lately, but I want him in there. A guy with a good chin and lots of heart, crap defense, can punch. His war with Liakhovich was one of the best HW fights in recent years.
10) Tex Cobb: funny personality, target practice for the elite guys though.

It'd be a WAR.

I reckon Louis and Tyson would be passing it back and forth whilst Jeffries might get a stint if he can get Tyson in possesion.

Poor Joe. Though he too might have a chance at gettint it of Mike.
