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

Nice...
Hagler, Benitez, Archie, Hearns, Diego, RJJ, Ali...... Fuck
I know exactly what you mean.
When I met Erik I found myself standing there starring at him....
My ass. The fact that I'll NEVER meet Ali is sure as hell a testament that you pretty much take the cake here...![]()
I meet a lot of guys at charity event's, Press conferences.... I have met a lot of guys through Bob Miller (HW Shannon Millers Father is a pretty well known cut man and he rents his Farm out for training camps to fighters, his wife was Tysons first promoter before Tyson was known and hooked up with King)....Gym Visits...and in Canastota I have worked at a few IBHOF weekends...Meet a lot of old timers there....
I met Ali at a charity Dinner in NYC....Hagler in LV right before he beat Mugabi then again at the IBHOF, I was a kid and there with my family, Hearns I met in Detroit, Corrales while I was at Foxwoods covering his second bout with Cassamayor, Archie about a dozen times over the years, Jones in Fla before his fight with Glen Kelly, Benitez at a charity event then again at the IBHOF....can't remember everyone....
I do know that you have a hell of a collection of pics with boxers that you have shown here...I know you go to a lot of bouts and meet a lot of guys
