    There may be just a few more but that's pretty much it.
    What do you mean by met?

    Spoken to them,asked for an autograph/picture,watched them fight?,just been in there presents?

    Only asking because there is a big difference in being in a room with sombody to having a chat and so forth.
    Shake hands... Maybe get an autograph. Been able to exchange words with them. Walking into a huge room and them being 60 ft away wouldn't construe a meeting. C'mon, man. I have to explain that?

    Frank Bruno used to train in the pub across the park from where I used to live (Sounds terrible but apparently a few fighters did?) so I would always see him floating about the area. He'd always make time for people in around our local Market. I got an AG from him when i was just 5. He was a fuckin Giant!!!

    Im 2 inches taller than him now

    Also got an AG off Gary Stretch at the same pub when he was training for Chris Eubank.
    Saw Naseem Hamed at the Peacock Gym. Floyd Mayweather too.... But that was complete shit! Waste of time

    Nicky Cook was at a charity boxing tournament run by a bunch of masons a couple of years ago. Was shocked to see he actually had hair?!

    I have a short list.

    Rodney Toney (2nd cousin of James)
    Bobby Covino (one of John Ruiz trainer when he was still Somerville).
    Franco DiOrio (went 10 with Camacho and was part of a talented group of New England JWW's) I trained with Franco for a while and still see him around.

    Let's see i've met felix trinidad, roy jones, don king, rodger mayweather, chad dawson, joseph abeko, anne wolfe, and teddy atlas . Roy jones was a dick....ann wolfe was by far the nicest. She was busy as shit and still came up sat, ate, signed, and talked to everyone who came by at kirklands last fight vs julio out in the bay. Got to speak with mike aronutes (spelled wrong i know) family outside the same fight, didn't see him though. They were pissed the fight against victor ortiz was stopped so early !

    Did it feel weird sitting next to Anne Wolfe and seeing she had bigger guns than you?
