On another occasion i david estrada came to our gym with his posse, and i had to spar one of his friends(who is actually on bangbros for those who know what that is) and whose ass i kicked. Also had timur and sultan ibragimov at my house. Nothing special but its worth a story, id love to hear yours

I never met many boxers in person, unfortunately. Beside Eric Lucas and Joachim Alcine (Alcine in Montreal and Lucas during the Beyer Clash in Lepizig) and it was just briefly. Guys like Cutmemick have met a lot and could tell you a lot, oidem for Pride of Boston but he's not much around by these days.
I've seen:
Antonio Tarver broadcasting at the Ward vs. Bika match
Ward
Bika
The rest were at the boxing world cup Phillipines vs. Mexico in Sacramento, CA in 2007
Gerry Penalosa
Jhonny Gonzales
Ray Bautista
Daniel Ponce De Leon
Lennox Lewis
Oscar De La Hoya
Juan Manuel Marquez
Raul Marquez
Michael Katsidis
I was ringside so I was able to pat Ponce De Leon on the back as he made his way to the ring, only fighters I met that night were Z Gorres and a few other Filipinos who fought on the card.
Stood right next to Katsidis like 3 feet from him for a while and didn't even know it was him...:p
I met Roy jones jr in Brighton and have got my picture with him.
That was about a year ago.
I have met chris eubank sr and had lunch with him as there were no tables left and he asked to join our table and in return we got a picture, his shoes were like mirrors.

You disappoint me brother :mad:
Quintana, Cotto, Tarver, Calderon, Juanma, Trinidad, Jose Pedraza, and the Arroyo Brothers
all the local guys I've seen at small event cards on the island besides Quintana who I met in Moca cause I sporadically work out at the gym he would usually go to, I met him when he was training for his comeback fight after his KO loss to Williams, Tarver I saw at Disney hahaha
Alan Minter
Chris Eubank
Oliver 'The Atomic Bull' McCall - frequented my gym
DeMarcus 'Chop Chop' Corley - saw as a guest at a fight
and just because I am broke, I missed out on seeing Jameel McCline fight some nobody and young up and coming prospect Joe Hanks this past Saturday.....I could kick myself for missing that!
I had the klitschko bros round to paint my cieling as I couldn't reachQuote:

When I was 15 i was suppose to have a fight at the adelphi hotel in Liverpool. David Price was the special guest on the show he was still an amatuer at this point though. I remember him being a really nice lad who gave me a lot of sound boxing advice it was good to hear at my age. The fight never went through that night for me because I wasn't at the right weight.
I fought the same lad 2 weeks later on a different card at the dockers club in Liverpool...it was an absoutle shit hole and I got robbed on points. The club who put on the show their lads won every single one of the fights that they put on, was a joke.
Used to see ricky burns in morrisons gym every now and again but never talked to him, also been to a willy limmond fight but thats about it, see a few other pros in morrisons but cant remember there names.
Ricky hatton in york, sound bloke very funny,
Nigel benn in leeds, my all time fave, a true gent was willing to have a convetsation and signed a glove for me,
Floyd mayweathwer in a vegas nightclub, didnt say much but shook my hand and had a photo with me.
Junior witter (when he was quite big lol!!) at an amature boxing show i fought on.
Alan minter at a sportsmans dinner, he was absloutly blathered on red wine!!
Mike tyson in manchester, let me have a photo but didnt wana chat!!
I bet no one messed with you with this crowd.Quote:
