Saw Zab Judah once at a hotel in Miami. Nice guy, but the guy he was with was a dickhead. I think he was one of the Goosen guys or something!?!?

Met a good lot of fighters when I was in Vegas.
Broner - cunt
Stiverne - Dick
Wilder - sound
Arreola - Legend
Porter - nice guy but I was completely pissed when talking to him
Judah - only got a pic so no time to talk to him
Omar Figueroa - nice guy and got him to sign a glove for me
Lee and Andy Selby - both nice guys.
Met a few around Ireland too
Tyson Fury - loves to talk about boxing
Ste Ormond and Spike O Sulivan - both sound lads
Barry McGuigan - great guy
Mick Dowling - will do anything for money
Bernard Dunne - didnt really have any time for me
How was Stiverne a dick? I'm just curious, I mean you say Broner was a cunt and it doesn't take much convincing for all of us to believe it, but Stiverne seems humble enough in interviews.
He just had no time for me at all. It was after a show and just asked for a quick pick and he just started mumbling. He warmed up a bit after i told him I won money on him in both his fights against Arreola but just got a bad vibe from him.Quote:

Worked next door to chisora's parents house. Saw him getting out of his Beamer. Big bloke, very wide. Not tall though but he ain't known for his height.
I have heard Tyson is quite short too.Quote:

This thread is crazy. It's almost as if outside of the ring boxers live a relatively normal life and mix with the rest of us.
Vernon Parris...really cool and down to earth.
He was in pajama bottoms buying a flat screen TV.
Have met Ricky Hatton was really sound, was surprised how big his hands were but how small he seemed. Bruno the legend, called me Guv and was really sweet with my Mrs. Chris Eubank Sr on a train from London to Brighton, was going to chin him but he had a really big body guard with him ;D Actually he was quite approachable but after exchanging a few pleasantries I let him carry on his journey in peace. (He was sat opposite across the table).
Nice, you got Omar to sign a glove. He always struck me as a nice guy. Very appreciative to his fans. I'm a big fan of his. Very active in the ring. I hope his defense continues to improve or he may have a short career or a long one and end up brain damaged.Quote:
