    I have met no one.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    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.

    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.

    Spoken to them,asked for an autograph/picture,watched them fight?,just been in there presents?

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

    Let's see i've met felix trinidad, roy jones, don king, rodger mayweather, chad dawson, joseph abeko, anne wolfe, and teddy atlas . Roy jones was a dick....ann wolfe was by far the nicest. She was busy as shit and still came up sat, ate, signed, and talked to everyone who came by at kirklands last fight vs julio out in the bay. Got to speak with mike aronutes (spelled wrong i know) family outside the same fight, didn't see him though. They were pissed the fight against victor ortiz was stopped so early !
