    The biggest names are probably Tyson, Duran, Hearns but the last ones I got to chat to properly (ie. pester about boxing) were Ryan Rhodes and Kell Brook both were sound but I always think fighters around welterweight are a lot smaller in real life than they look on the TV,

    Carl Froch, Bruno, Eubank, Naz, Jason and Nicky Booth, Roy Smith, Rod Anderton, Robin Reid.

    Beat Froch at pool in the local league, he is okay really, just a bit arrogant. Met him a few times.

    Robin Reid is a good guy.

    Heard Eubank say,"all the statistics in the world can't measure a smile."

    He goes to my gym.

    Not the best idea to have a street fight with Pele Reid?

    Duran and Sugar Ray Leonard this year-both were real gents, Duran was very charasmatic.(only Hearns and Haggler to go!)
    Bruno, Buchanan, Hatton, Price, Bellew ,Jaime moore (couldn't be any more accomadating), Agogo, Witter, Ashly Sexton, Danny Williams
    and the most charasmatic of them all -Tim Witherspoon-happy to joke and chat about anything.
    Naseem Richardson-not a pro boxer, but very cool...

    Not exactly as high profile but Dean Byrne was a cracking guy. David Haye was nice, as were Darren Barker, Kell Brook, Kal Yafai. Adam Booth seemed shy, but still nice.

    David Haye, Adam Booth, Anthony Joshua (not pro yet of course)

    All sound. Haye spent ages just talking with fans after the Groves/Smith fight, he seemed a really nice genuine guy, and ****ing massive as well, I dont know why I was so surprised but remember thinking he was huge. Booth as sarcastic as he comes across on tv but again, had a lot of time for people.

    Joshua was very nice too, and beyond huge.

    Well if we are name dropping...

    I spoke to HUGHROY CURRIE at the bar in the YORK HALL!

    Seriously though, the best I got (as I have mentioned a number of times), is pissing off and getting chased by Lou Duva.
