    I bet no one messed with you with this crowd.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    My list pales in comparison to all of you alls, can't even call it a list since its got two people on it.lol

    First one I ever met was marijan benes, not a big name but held ebu title a few times in late 70s and 80s and did fight for the wba title as well. Owned a cafe in town I grew up in and dad would take me there often when I was little.

    Second is ali, got to meet him twice. Once he came to my middle school when I had just moved here, and the second time I was a waiter in a restraunt that he came in, saddly wasn't my table. Neither time did I ask for an autograph or anything , seemed very frail.

    Was sat next to James Degale at the Tyson Fury - John Mcdermott rematch. A very nice, down to Earth guy. Nothing like he comes accross sometimes. No ego or attitute he was happy to chat boxing with us and sign some autographs. Also spoke briefly to Johnny Nelson and Jim Watt the same evening. Also nice guys, happy to talk to us fans.
