    I am a cutman, mainly working with Kevin KINGPIN Johnson. I have been a professional trainer / cutman for 18 years. I worked Max Alexander's corner vs Roy Jones Jr in Atlanta.

    Leon Spinks. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer but a nice fellow. Hilmer Kenty was also a real nice guy.

    I've met RJJ and Toney. RJJ was pretty cool. Cool enough to let me take a pic. Toney seemed bothered I was talking to him at all. We were in the high limits area so he was probably more worried about his cards.

    I have met a few and I can't believe I am doing this but the Englishman Anthony Crolla is the nicest polite boxer I have met.I bumped into him outside a Manhattan hotel and we had a pleasant conversation.He actually stopped me and asked for directions and he introduced himself when I asked him what was he doing in New York with that accent.
    A top dude whom I now follow with interest.:good

    I got to a Vegas fight each year and there is always opportunities to meet fighters or those who are part of the fight game whether its at the fight, the weigh in, or hanging around the bar

    I've probably met a couple dozen people and every person I've met other than Michael Moorer has been really nice.

    Nicest was probably Chris Byrd. Saw him at a fight and got a picture with him. And then saw him at a sporting good store opening a week later and brought my son down with me to get the pic signed. He and his wife totally nice. Talked about the fight the week before. talked to my kid.

    Clinton Woods was pretty nice too. Met him at the Hatton-Castillo weigh in. I think he was shocked some American gringo knew who he was.

    Oktay Urkal - Very nice guy. But you must be careful, because he loves stupid pranks. If you leave the room for two minutes, he will flavour your tea with salt.

    Kertson Manswell - Not the best fighter, but very nice.

    Axel Schulz - Very nice. But his Berlin-Accent is terrible. Imagine a australian with sore throat.
