Just wondering...(and it applies not just to boxers you may have met.)
I bet CutMeMick has once with all the people he has met :D
I never got starstruck but I went a tad quiet when I met Ricky Hatton. I didn't actually know what the hell to say to him.
After the pic was took I blurted out "Hope you smash Malignaggi" ;D He chuckled and said "thanks mate I'll do my best."
In contrast when I met Haye we both couldn't stop speaking to each other about various stuff :D
Your stories ?
I once saw Max Cavalera (Sepultura, Soulfly) outside of a club in Seattle where Soulfly was playing. I was shit-faced drunk and blurted out, "Hey! It's fucking Max Cavalera!", he glanced over at me looking perplexed and pissed off as people started to try and get close to him as he followed his security through the crowd to the show.
I'm an idiot.
I once got close to Big Frank Bruno when i was about 10year old.He was up here in the North-east "Teeside Park"after he won the Heavyweight Title.He was surrounded by about 20 bouncers"I CANT THINK WHY,I MEAN WHO THE HELL IS GOING TO THREATEN BIG FRANK:o"Anyhow,with that many people around him it was very hard to get really close to him.Me dad got close to him though and eventually got his autogragh!Gee,FRANK IS A REALLY BIG FELLA,REALLY GREAT MAN TOO.
Cheers frank!;)
Only once. I had this date with Madonna, and I was really nervous. I didn't really want to be seen in public with her, because all her friends would wonder why she was bothering with an average guy. When I told her this she said, "If you like we can just go back to my place and fuck". I thought about it for a while and said "ok", and soon I forgot all about being starstruck.

When I was much younger, I went to see my favorite death metal band play. My absolute guitar idol Terrance Hobbs was standing around after the show I went up to him and said "HOW YOU PLAY FAST?" word for word. I think he thought I was not a native english speaker or something he said "PRACTICE" very slowly and using hand gestures. I felt like a douche and my friends pointed at me and laughed. ;D
One of the most triumphant moments in my life.
seeing stallone & scharzenegger i did
but meeting JC i didnt probably because he was so down to earth, he was amazing, i just by passed the security with my daughter in my arms. my daughter called out 'Joe Joe' & He high fived my daughter(she is only five) & we had a chat with him & he was a really good guy.
Calzaghe seems a great guy outside the ring.Quote:

I worked a part time job at Blockbuster video a while back, Nikki Nova came in to rent a movie. I said nothing while giving her money back a discounting her movie to free and removing her late fees. I should have at least asked for an autograph.
I used to work in a building attached to the Melbourne International Airport and would go in there for lunch so i'd see a lot of our local sportspeople etc.
One time I was lining up for a coffee behind this dude, and suddenly he turns around and it was Hugo Weaving (the guy who plays Agent Smith in the Matrix).. Totally span me out, and I think he saw when I realised because he glanced forward, then looked back again and smiled.. Seemed like a pretty relaxed guy..
He ordered a cappuccino if anyone is interested :)

Luis Miguel
Celia Cruz

Roselyn Sanchez
Henry Winkler

I think I've gotten starstruck with every boxer I've met.
The ones that stand out the most Emile Griffith, ODLH & Erik.

and I only shook her hand. :cwm36:
I rarely if ever get starstruck their people as well
The only 3 I can think of that made me feel that way at all(through no fault of their own)
Cheetah Chrome-Cmon the guitarist from the Dead Boys just bought me a round
Charlie Harper-Doing road work for the UK SUbs was just fun
Valerie Mahfood-I know it doesnt sound like Felix Trinidad,but jesus I love watching her fight,a pit bull in camaflouge, though when we mainly talk on the phone, if we're not discussing buissness we mainly talk about her cats and how her classes are doing. One of the first people to really help me out when I got in to female boxing
I know alot of people in both buissnesses but I have to say,I may have the utmost respect for Ron from The Nihilistics contributions to the NYC Hardcore scene, but its hard to get star struck when you and him just got barked at by the bouncer at CBGBS for sneaking a smoke in the mens room after the smoking ban in NYC

Look at me... No hands. ;D
Bill Goldberg. I remember him from when I was in my teens and he was a beast, one of the strongest people I have ever seen. He came into the Wynn and that's one of the few times I was star struck
i would have been afraid that he would sphere me.Quote:
