    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.

    Over the years I've met many many fighters and become friends with many of them Most of them were nice in fact all but one were great guys. The only "bad guy" was Riddick Bowe a few years ago.
    He was at a black tie fight card in Dallas as a guest of honor. It was the anniversary of Pearl Harbor and the marine color guard were there . All he did was hang with them ignoring fans wanting autographs. It wasnt long after that he had his short career as a marine ROFL he didnt like being shouted at so he bought himself out

    I really liked John Mugabi. I met him about 3 years ago, and i asked him if he thought in the early rounds he was beating Hagler. He let out an enormous laugh and just said he knew he was tiring more than Hagler as the rounds went by.

    Didnt really think too much of Alan Minter. Was saying he could whip anybody around nowadays and just being a bit aloof.

    I met Terri Norris in a hamburger place in Southern California called In-N-Out Burgers. I saw him and thought that he looked like Terri Norris but as I saw him closer I noticed a tatoo on his neck with two boxing gloves and below that it said "Champion" so yeah, that was some sort of confirmation . I pat his shoulder and when he turned around I stretched my hand. Had a good laugh remembering his fight againts Santana. He got his burger and left.

    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.
