Paul Williams
Johnny Tapia
Kermit Cintron
Deontay Wilder
Andre Berto
Marvalous Marvin Hagler

Brian Vera

David Banks
George Chuvalo
Toney Demarco
Don Fullmer
Ruben Oliveres

There may be just a few more but that's pretty much it.

I have met no one.

I'm pretty lucky to live in Boston so I can go to Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods and also to the International Boxing Hall of Fame for induction weekend every year. I grew up in RI so I was able to meet some of the other guys.

i've pretty much almost only met local fighters and trainers

Felix Trinidad Sr
Felix Tito Trinidad
Miguel Cotto
Evangelista Cotto
Ivan Calderon
Miguel Diaz
Juanma Lopez (at the charity exhibition bout he had for Christmas)
Winky Wright (both him and Trinidad the same day)
and well the only fighter out of PR
Antonio Tarver (while i was in Orlando)

Not much on my side:

Eric Lucas
Otis Grant
Joachim Alcine (worked with his cousin)
Markus Beyer


Promoters:
Yvon Michel (GYM)
Wilfred Sauerland (haven,t really talked though)

I met Butterbean at the 1st De la Hoya fight and met James Toney at a cigar bar in the Mandalay Bay after the 1st Pacman-Marquez fight. And the answer is yes, one is white, one is black but only about 10lbs difference LMAO. Both guys were super cool. Toney is totally like the guy you see in interviews; brash, trash talking, motormouth but a really cool guy.

Virgil Hilll
Donny LaLonde
Danny Romero
Mike McCallum
Michael Nunn
Orlin Norris
Terry Norris
Bob Arum
Freddie Roach
Eddie Futch
Carl Daniels
Jeff Fenech
Sugar Ray Leonard


Most were pretty cool except for McCallum. So it goes.

What do you mean by met?

Spoken to them,asked for an autograph/picture,watched them fight?,just been in there presents?

Only asking because there is a big difference in being in a room with sombody to having a chat and so forth.

Absolutely no one.

Hope this helps.
