    that's pretty sweet.. i haven't watched wrestling in at least 10 years, but i DO remember going to some wrestling event and remember that super hot chick "Sunny".. she was the manager for the Smokin' Guns.. I met them and touched the tag team belts, and had half of a mind to try to touch Sunny but my mom was there so i didn't..

    As far as boxers i've just met the local guys really.. Manfredo/Balletto/Pazienza/Angel Comacho (not famous yet really)

    I met Wayne Llwellyn and Pat Barrett in the ringside seats when Naseem Hamed fought Daniel Alicea at the Newcastle Arena.

    I also met Naz (I WAS a big fan) he had been showing his belt at a Newcastle football match. I saw him outside and held my hand out to shake as he walked up to me. I saif 'Naz I am a huge fan you're doing Britain proud' he looked me up and down and walked on without a word or a hand dkahe. I was gutted.

    Highlight for me though was speaking to Lloyd Honetghan on the phone. I was on a Union course and was talking to the organiser in the bar on the evening. Talk got around to boxing and I mnetioned that I trained and that my British one of my favourite British fighters was LLoyd. This guy said 'Oh he's a mate of mine hang on' He got his mobile out rang a number and said 'Hey Lloyd it's ****** got a fan wants to speak to you'. I was literally almost speechless and what with being a bit full of guinness babbled on like a fool. Priceless talking to him though.

    Such a groupie lol!

    Watch out for Zab Judah when you go to Gleason's, I've heard he's a player

    But be gentle with him, his jaw is so fragile if he buried his head in your chest you may accidently kill him.

    That is on my wishlist, to meet the Hitman and explain Danny_G's vids to him

    You would have had a good chance to meet him when he fought Collazo in the Banknorth Garden wouldn't you ??

    Haha I can't wait to till Frank "WBO" Warren puts a show on in the new Liverpool Arena with Derry Matthews and Khan etc later this year.

    Might bum in to Tam as no doubt he would go down.

    You won't get to tour the original Kronk- it's closed down.

    I've met Tommy Hearns and his son Ronald. I kinda met Floyd Mayweather Jr at the Detroit leg of his press conference with Oscar de La Hoya, May Jo Sanders (incredibly quiet, but it was just before her last fight), Emmanuel Stewart and a local junior welterweight whose name is escaping me just now.
