    iv met a hand full of guys,
    antonio margarito, in vegas a couple days before cotto v pacquiao i was walking back toward my room at like 5 in the morning pretty drunk and ran in to him at a slot machine, i talked to him for a moment but he hadnt a clue what i was saying.
    andy lee a couple of times, hes a cool guy.
    kiko martinez-gentleman
    daniel ponce de leon in a vegas bathroom(awkward hand shake)-another gentleman
    spoke to michael katsidis very briefly just after he stepped off the scales before his fight with jmm
    willie casey- all out hero.
    marcos maidana, hard to tell what sort of a guy he was but he did seem more interested in catering to the chicks when we were trying to get pics(hey that rhymes) dont blame him there though.
    sergio martinez-seemed like a class act
    all in all no bad experiences.
    oops i almost forgot a good one earnie shavers, felt like i was going to get ktfo' ed just from chatting with him.

    I met Evander Holyfield in a Subway on the way back from a club. This guy he was with looked like he wanted to smack me but Evander was cool and happy for us to get a photo with him. I think he was eyeing up the girl I was with though.

    I met Nonito Donaire at the Ward/Abraham fight. He was really nice and I ended up watching most of a fight with him. After the event, I ran into him on the way out. He immediately recognized me, shook my hand again, and wished me a good night. I was very impressed by him.

    I went to high school with Manny Quezada although I wouldn't call us friends, we're cool when we see each other and have friends in common. My mom taught his daughters dance and cheer.

    Met Antonio Tarver and he was also really nice. Pretty laid back, he watched Manny fight an untelevised bout after the Showtime broadcast was over; he was standing right next to me and kept me in the conversation a bit.

    Brief encounter with Sergio Martinez. Guy is much smaller than I thought he would be. We shook hands, I told him I was a big fan, and that was about it.
