Name the fighters you have met face to face

everybody was cool, espcially Mayweather and Hopkins.

 

Winky Wright
Antonio Tarver

I live around the Tampa FL area, USA. They're both from St. Pete. Winky used to frequent 2001 Oddysey strip club. They put his name on the out door sign after he won a big fight - I forget who it was he beat. I saw him in there, but didn't get to chat with him. Tarver was playing $500 sit n' go Hold 'em Tournaments at the Hard Rock. He's one of the worst poker players of all time. :silly

But at least he teached Roy Jones his behavior. :good

 

i met paul malignaggi at a party. it was a long time ago and i was pretty drunk and i didnt know who he was until later.

i met peter quillin at the wlad/ibragimov fight after he knocked his opponent out.

 

Only met Sebastien Demers he was honor president of the Silver Gloves tournements in my far away little town!

Good and interesting guy!

The day after the Hatton v Mayweather fight, I was in the New York, New York casino in Vegas, playing a bit of Texas Hold 'Em. It was in the evening, and I was sitting at a table with a friend. It was pretty quiet, as most of the travelling Brits had already left for home.

My friend said he needed the toilet, so he got up and wandered off to find one.

Just after he left, this burley African American fella walked up to the table, and asked me a question.

"Hey man, do you know the way to the valet?"

"Err sure" I said, "Here, I'll show you."

So I got up to give him directions.

As I did that, I noticed this little fella standing behind him. Holy ****; it's Ricky Hatton!! The guy who asked me the question was his minder! The two of them were standing there like a couple of plums, completely lost, relying on me for directions!!

So I gave the guy directions, I shook Ricky's hand, and wish them on their way. It was a pretty cool encounter. I sat back down at the table, and they walk off into the crowd. Just then, my friend returned from the toilet.

"So, What did I miss" he asked.

"Err, you're not gonna believe this......"

 

Havent seen him there but I've heard Tarver is at the Hard Rock a lot. The sign outside 2001 was after Mosley.

 

That's a class story that.

 

my list is pretty short and pretty weak

jeff lacy...a few months before the calzaghe fight...at the winky/soliman fight

and juan diaz in the garden arena lobby before the pac/hatton weigh in...danny jacobs too

 

JD Chapman, Jeff Mayweather, the Fullmer brothers, probably a few more I'm forgetting here.

 

hehe good story! now your friend will put dampers to go to the Casino!

 

funny you mention this...i saw hatton on sunday night at NY, NY after the pac fight....i was completely hammered...and somebody else i was with noticed him...didnt get a chance to meet him or anything...

its funny...i stayed at the mgm...but when i wanted to play cards(which was often during my 4 day stay) i went across the street to NY, NY....i just liked the atmosphere there better in their casino
