Who do you think would be the coolest boxer to hang out with?

[Replies: 65]
There are so many different types of fighters in this sport with many different personalities. If you had a choice to hang out with one who do you think would be the most fun to be around.
Oddly enough, seeing how much fun everyone has with James Toney on the "best damn sports show period" he seems like a fun person to be around.

They say he and middleweight Stanley Ketchel
partied hardy before their "fight" that turned
into a short real fight when Ketchel knocked
him down. (He fought Sam Langford and
was scheduled for a rematch.)

In fact Ketchel was finally shot dead, at 24 years
young, when caught by a cuckolded husband.....glad
I missed that party

Yeah Mosley would definitely be a good guest at Christmas Dinner. He'd probably offer to help with the dishes too with Gin's coercing.

Prince, I think Mosley seems like a guy who would be very respectable, you mentioned the Christmas dinner thing, I bet he would be a good guest and helpful, he just seems like a genuinely nice guy, who wouldn't cause any issues lol. Hopkins I'd worry about at Christmas dinner, he seems like he'd be starting trouble some how, he's awesome though.

Man I'd LOVE to hang out with Mike Tyson. The dude is a basketcase but interesting as hell and it would definitely be an adventure. I'm sure though after many of nights getting kicked out of strip clubs and arrested it would get old after a while. He is also somewhat of a boxing historian and that would be cool to just hang out with the mellow, relaxed Mike and talk about boxing.

I'd without a doubt like to hang out with Ricky Hatton although I would probably be going to many AA meetings in the following weeks after our adventures.

Mayorga WOULD be cool to hang out with.

As far as inviting someone to Christmas dinner though I would have to go with Oscar or Bernard. And Lennox Lewis seems like he'd be okay to hang out with on those mellow days if I just wanted someone to play chess with.

I think Jose Luis Lopez would be the most fun to hang around with. No training, just a lot of surfing, chilling and tasty waves and tasty buds.B-)

I'd enjoy hanging out with Ali. It'd be interesting to hear his stories. And he doesn't frighten me as so many other potential choices do.

As someone else said, Tyson might be interesting but I wouldn't want to be alone when I hung with him.

Lets see. Not Oscar, as he would probably be in drag, and would want to hang out at strange bars with names like "The Blue Oyster"......Mayorga would be fun, if you arent afraid of a fight, as he would probably start trouble with someone just for fun. Money May would get you into the VIP areas of any club in any city. But my personal favorite would be James Toney, because he dresses like a pimp, talks better smack than anyone, and appreciates his true fans.
