Re: What fighters, trainers or promoters have you met?
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.

Re: What fighters, trainers or promoters have you met?
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.

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

Shake hands... Maybe get an autograph. Been able to exchange words with them. Walking into a huge room and them being 60 ft away wouldn't construe a meeting. C'mon, man. I have to explain that?

Re: What fighters, trainers or promoters have you met?
Frank Bruno used to train in the pub across the park from where I used to live (Sounds terrible but apparently a few fighters did?) so I would always see him floating about the area. He'd always make time for people in around our local Market. I got an AG from him when i was just 5. He was a fuckin Giant!!!
Im 2 inches taller than him now ;D
Also got an AG off Gary Stretch at the same pub when he was training for Chris Eubank.
Saw Naseem Hamed at the Peacock Gym. Floyd Mayweather too.... But that was complete shit! Waste of time :mad:
Nicky Cook was at a charity boxing tournament run by a bunch of masons a couple of years ago. Was shocked to see he actually had hair?!
