the castle stuff is cool, but that's so much cooler! What weight do you fight at? and how was the Olympics over here in England for you?

Hi Mr Assange,

I hope you’re well.

Firstly, what is your opinion on the Snoopers Charter (The Investigatory Powers Act), here in the UK? What do you think this indicates, not only for anonymity, but also for the UK Government’s understanding of the Internet and its importance?

Secondly, in a broader tone, how do you think the inherent sense of national pride and patriotism permeates every part of American society? I feel that the self-importance, and perhaps the sense of always being right, prevalent in so much of American culture, means that the likes of whistleblowers and general opponents to ‘the American Way’, be it those displeased with the economic system, the government, or anything else, means that those whom go against the grain of the norm are instantly vilified and painted as enemies by so many. That is to say, so many crimes are regarded as personal attacks on their way of life, akin to treason. Can this solely be attributed to pride built up from years of superiority, or is it something more?

Many thanks

How often and how much do you write? Is there a set amount every day?

Also what's your favourite cocktail?

Many thanks

What was about a military lifestyle, US Gov't or private, that first attracted you? Why did you become an Army Paratrooper rather than a 'normal' office worker, for example?

Also if you could listen to one song and one song only forever/before passing, what would it be?

Many thanks!

ah so the outside, points fighter can be more of a struggle for you?

Yeah it should be a top quality fight once it finally happens. GGG seems to be able to take punches so well (he's never been knocked down, never mind out). HE's got that hardcore Eastern European to him.... Canelo probably seems to have better stamina, but once GGG gains any momentum he seems to be unstoppable thus far. But, is that down the quality of the opponents he's faced? Maybe. but he's very durable, thus meaning the time's he's left himself open have never caught him out. I think Canelo could put him on the floor but he'd never knock him out I don't think
