    A lad I spar with has met him, got a signed pad in our gym... he was in this club called Tup Tup... which is a pretty good club if you can ignore how far it's managed to get stuck up it's own arse...

    oh but what about manny staward (merlin)...why did it close down and when ??

    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 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.

    I seem to meet famous boxer's cousins - I met Rodney Toney (J-Fat's cousin) when he was training for a fight at a gym I was looking at joining. Nice guy. Not fat like James. One of Shane Mosely's cousin is my trainer.
