I seem to meet famous boxer's cousins - I met Rodney Toney (J-Fat's cousin) when he was training for a fight at a gym I was looking at joining. Nice guy. Not fat like James. One of Shane Mosely's cousin is my trainer.
I met our great Frank Bruno through in Teeside Park(northeast)for it's grand opening.It was approximately 15years ago.He was massive in the flesh!I ended up getting his autograph after i fought through the mass of fans and his 6foot plus minders.A really good bloke.He had plenty of time for his many fans.BIG UP OUR FRANK!CHEERS MATE;)
Ray boom boom Mancini at Chapel hill mall in 1986 in Cuyahoga Falls Ohio just north of Akron. I was 6.

Had the opportunity to spend some time with Jeff Harding about a year or 2 ago. Interesting guy, has had a lot of problems since he finished fighting but trying to get things back on track.
Roy Jones Jr.: Most famous Worldwide I guess
Joe Calazghe and Ricky: Most famous right now.
Wayne McCullough: I've met him a good number of times
Barry McGuigan: Most famous here

We were having a meal after the weigth in. On the other table was Archie Moore With his crew and Big George, I said to a Boxing Historian mate dont Archie look great how old is he now. My mate said go and ask him it will be okay he likes people to ask him just go over put your hand on his shoulder and ask. I said you sure my mate said certain, so I did and got the reply mind your own Fucking Biusness. Going back I saw my lot laugthing there bollocks off. I said to my mate you cunt, His reply thats the two things he hates the most didnt you know people asking his age and strangers touching him. Anyway I went over and explained the wind up and apologised, we got on great after that nice guy.
I can't believe Missy gave me a bad rep for cockfighting. That kind event already existed before even Ferdinand Magellan set his foot in the Philippines. I know it's an animal abuse, but it's there tradition. It was televised on national television. That's how big the Slasher Cup is.Quote:

I met all 3 in my sig.
TIto, Cotto, Calderon. Juanma. El nene Sanchez.
Miguel Cotto's Bro Jose Miguel
SAw Oscar but I didn't want it to say hi to him LOL.
OH!!!... my friend was one of the people that almost gave B-Hop a beating in Puerto Rico ;D
I met Junior Witter at a celebrity footy match. He was walking round looking cool with his WBC belt. He let me hold his belt. It was 5 days before he beat Viv Harris. I told him he'd ko him....and he did. Seemed quite happy that someone knew who he was and he was actually a really nice guy. Quite small tho.
And i spoke to Dennis Hobson (ricky hatton's promoter...well not no more) over the phone once. I rang this number that i had for tickets for a Hatton fight and it appeared to be his mobile number. He was a bit angry actually but once i said 'aren't you his promoter?' he calmed down and was actually very helpful.
I fucken fell off my chair... :oQuote:

I met vernon forrest in louisville at laila ali's fight, and shannon briggs on miami beach.
I met ron waterman (the UFC/pride fighter) at a bar in louisville.
Tim Witherspoon use to come to the gym i use to go to. He was real nice always willing to help guys. Even if he didn't know you he'd hold the pads for you and everything. Yuself Mack and Naji Turpin also went to that same gym. Both of them also were real nice guys.
I also met Steve Cunningham. At the time i had no clue who he was because cruiser weights weren't really doing anything.
I have met my fair share of guys, over the years I have met Hagler, Benitez, Pryor, Fullmer, Archie Moore, Willie Pep, Floyd and Tracy Patterson, Vernon Forrest, Verno Phillips, Tyson, Lewis, Bowe, Morrision, De La Hoya, Hearns, Nonito Doniare, Margarito, Cassamayor, Diego Corrales (one of the nicest guys I have ever met), Roy Jones, Cooney, Norton, Ali, ...Oh hell I can't even name them all. Not to mention promoters, trainers, managers I have met. Plus interviews I have done.
I still get a kick out of big names I have not met before and speak to for the first time. Has to do with being a fan of the sport I guess.
I am sure Mick has met more then I have over the years. He is like a staple at every big event west of the mississippi

Wladimir Klitscko, Ruslan Chagaev, Michael Sprott, Arthur Abraham, Felix Sturm, met them at different Sport events, I met Chageav at a beer stall ;D
Met Frank Bruno when I was 10 it was like meeting a giant, really nice bloke
Met Ricky Hatton and Matthew Hatton a bunch of times they both lived on my street when they lived with thier parents, if you want to meet Ricky just do a trawl off the pubs in the Hyde area a few weeks after a fight and he will be there
Met Junior Witter at Hatton Vs Pendelton, I was wearing a "Witter the Shitter" T shirt and bumped in to him on the way to the bar at the MEN and I have to say he was a top bloke, I had a laugh with him and his mates and told him Hatton would kill him! he said then he only wanted the chance to fight him, I didn't think he deserved the chance then, but I do know
Also going to the Evander Holyfield book signing today although I have been told he is only giving out pre signed cards as his hands are knackerd
