Re: Boxer's you've met......and disliked.
I've met the Mayweather's and some other GR boxers.
Floyd a few times, he is real laid back. But when he meets people you can tell he really makes an effort to smile and looks you right in the eyes. He's the type of person who really makes an effort to listen to what is being said to him, even if its a complete stranger. He used to always be up at Pride when he was younger.
Floyd Sr. is a cocky asshole. I've met him twice, once at Denny's late at night. My friend knew him and we went over and said hi. Floyd was like, "Who the F's the White Boy?"
Jeff Mayweather is a decent guy, but I've heard he has a quick temper.
Roger Mayweather seems a little punch drunk to me, but was nice enough to introduce himself to me one time at Pride Gym.
Buster Mathis is a great guy, I met him a few times, but got to talk to him for a while when his dad was staying in the Hospital I worked at as a Security guard.
Tony Tucker knew my dad, and came over and said hi to us at a GGs tourney. Seemed like a nice guy, but very intimidating.
I held the door open for Muhammed Ali when he was visiting Buster Mathis Sr, I said hey Champ, and he smiled and gave me a wink.
Boxers are like other guys, some are asses, some are nice. They've all got pretty good size egos. You have to have confidence to step in that ring.
I have a friend who works in Hollywood and meets all the stars. He was saying most of the time the opposite of what you think is probably true. The guys who you'd think would be jerks are super nice and vice versa. Could be true with Boxers as well.
