    Hung out with Frankie Liles for a month or two so back when I lived in L.A. Super nice guy. He took me to a strip club and left to go talk to somebody and gave me a stack of $1s to give the broads, true story. I think he barely got out of high school but talks like a college graduate.

    Talked to Steve Forbes for a few minutes some years ago, he said that if Mayweather - Paquiao ever happened it would be no contest, Floyd was on a different level and that he's sparred with both.

    The two nicest athletes (not just boxers) I met were... shockingly...JAMES TONEY AND FERNANDO VARGAS! Just real down to earth guys.

    Mia St. John and Holly Holm both flirted with me, I was too sorry to take advantage.

    Calzaghe and Hatton when they fought in Newcastle. Technically I was working but it was backstage so got to meet them. Was pretty cool.

    Mostly welsh ones

    Calzaghe - loads of times on the **** nice guy

    Enzo Mac - in the gym top guy down to earth

    Steve Robinson - sparred with him and his lad Luke

    Eddie avoth - used to work together. He had great stories

    Iran Barclay - met him in strip club in was doing security in. Was so punch drunk and his face was all puffy and bashed in. Was depressing to see.

    Gary Lockett - Held pads for me a few times. Lovely chap.

    Amir Khan - Met him in casino. Ended up going out on the **** with him around cardiff. Was as he just turned pro. Was a great kid. Very personable. Prob the nicest of all boxers I've met

    Rudduck Bowe - Met him at a tiny boxing club in cardiff. He was good friends with a cardiff referee apparently. Had some pics with him and did some pretend sparring with him. Very chilled out guy. Looked very unhealthy though. Was walking around with 2 litre bottle of cokeat all times.

    Craig Kennedy - we used to spar as amateur

    Arreola is a nice guy. Saw him after the Wilder fight. He thanked me for coming out to see the fight and asked me if I wanted to buy any weed.

    I met William Joppy back in 2001 before the Trinidad fight... He signed my autograph and he was a nice guy.
