    Nice guy all the same.
    You think he's the only one you've ever met . You must be drunk a lot of the time.

    All the ones Ive met were well mannered . Probably the only guy who seemed abit offish was Robin Reid and thats only cuz he couldnt get a moments break at the time so he appeared abit annoyed.

    Johnny Tapia without a doubt and the worst Tommy Hearns.

    Surprisingly it was probably James Toney who I got along great with. All the big name people I've met have been much older or not interested in doing anything they weren't paid to do. Toney is a character though and was great fun to be with.

    He was at a weigh in for an Andre Ward fight, Ward is promoted by Goosen as is Toney so he was there. It was the day after the report came out that he was going to face Jirov in a rematch so I interviewed him to find out, he had no idea that report was out there. But he was just so funny, while we were interviewing he walked to the hotel gift store and bought a bunch of candy bars and was hardly serious at all, hilarious. I actually have the audio on my old computer I think. He was going off on all these tangents and would stray so far from the subject and just scream at the top of his lungs all the other people in the lobby staying out the hotel kept staring thinking he was a madman. Then the next night they had his fights on in the media room and he was commentating his own fights it was pretty funny.

    Also I should say as far as the nicest boxers, Andre Ward is genuinely a nice guy but he is pretty shy so he's hard to get words out of sometimes but he's a very respectful, well mannered guy who isn't flashy in the least unlike nearly every other fighter I've ever met.

    That is really cool. You should post the audio on one of the other boards if you can find it.

    I met Razor Ruddock years ago after a fight he had in my home town. He almost had a clowning personality.

    He signed some hot chicks tits while wearing the biggest grin.

    Marvin Hagler was a top guy. David Haye is also a top top bloke spent the night with him and Adam Booth getting drunk and talking about legendery fights and fighters.
