My Dad has met the Big Show from WWE
that's pretty sweet.. i haven't watched wrestling in at least 10 years, but i DO remember going to some wrestling event and remember that super hot chick "Sunny".. she was the manager for the Smokin' Guns.. I met them and touched the tag team belts, and had half of a mind to try to touch Sunny but my mom was there so i didn't..
As far as boxers i've just met the local guys really.. Manfredo/Balletto/Pazienza/Angel Comacho (not famous yet really)

I met Wayne Llwellyn and Pat Barrett in the ringside seats when Naseem Hamed fought Daniel Alicea at the Newcastle Arena.
I also met Naz (I WAS a big fan) he had been showing his belt at a Newcastle football match. I saw him outside and held my hand out to shake as he walked up to me. I saif 'Naz I am a huge fan you're doing Britain proud' he looked me up and down and walked on without a word or a hand dkahe. I was gutted.
Highlight for me though was speaking to Lloyd Honetghan on the phone. I was on a Union course and was talking to the organiser in the bar on the evening. Talk got around to boxing and I mnetioned that I trained and that my British one of my favourite British fighters was LLoyd. This guy said 'Oh he's a mate of mine hang on' He got his mobile out rang a number and said 'Hey Lloyd it's ****** got a fan wants to speak to you'. I was literally almost speechless and what with being a bit full of guinness babbled on like a fool. Priceless talking to him though.
'To speak with his equal and irish man is forced to talk with God...'
Roy jones, felix trinidad, and chad dawson, here in sac during his fight here last year. I've just recently seen manny pac in Frisco and i saw floyd mayweather at a club in miami awhile back.

I have the best.....Oliver McCall, he worked out at the gym I go to...I was worried the trainers were going to try to make me spar with him (I being one of the few heavyweights at the gym). He was a really down to Earth guy, nice guy.
I met Marvin Hagler in Italy , he was a top guy.
I met Terry Norris in an In-N-Out (burger chain fast food). I saw him making line and I just thought he looked alike. I got closer and saw a tattoo on his neck with two boxing gloves and when we made eye contact I just stretched my hand for a handshake and told him "Mr. Norris, nice to meet you" and he got a big smile. We started talking about this and that. He told me he was getting into producing music (rap, hip hop, etc.). Then the topic changed to boxing and we were laughing about his fight against Santana and how he took a dive twice. Then he took his order and left. Wish I had my camera with me.
My parents met Mike Tyson in Atlanta airport. He was just laying down using his jacket as a pillow. When he woke up my parents approached him and told him that I was a big fan of his fights and asked for an autograph. My parents were surpirsed to see that he was not THAT TALL.

Depends on what you mean by "famous".
In Oz, I have met Sam Soliman (watched a few fights with him), Lovemore N'Dou, Paul Briggs, Bob Miravick, Kostya Tsyu and most of the national fighters at one point or another, to name a few.
From the states, (in passing) Muhammad Ali, and a few of the rest that have appeared in Oz in the last ten years.
