Tommy Hitman Hearns, Cornelius K9 Bundrage (sparred with him), William Caveman Lee, Andy Lee, Tom Boom Boom Johnson, Manny Steward (he was a good amateur), Aaron Pryor Jr., Dominique Dolton, J'Leon Love, Craig Lewis, buncha others but no other major stars and I forget the names. Johnathon Banks and Andre Dirrell train at the same gym, but I can't recall seeing them.
just 1. I saw DLH about 4-5 month before DLH vs Vargas fight, in a south beach club. i forgot the name of the club, its the one owned by Gloria Estefan. i just shook DLH hand, it was too packed.
REALLY? I expected Griffin to be one of the coolest. Can you elaborate on his douchebaggery? I'm curious. Damn...
I asked to get a picture of him training with a friend of mine who I was with. And he said no picture. I thought he might of not wanted one while training, so nothing is leaked etc. Then a few days after that I try to shake his hand, he ignores it but rather just says hi, and he looked at my hand and then at me like if I was stupid for asking to shake his hand. Then the worst part of all. A family drove all the way from texas to watch him train. They try to take a picture of him while jump roping he says no pictures. When he gets done, they ask to take a picture with him and the family. He says no. And then, what really did it. The training there, they were doing light sparring (ground and pound sparring) Well my friend gets Griffin's back and doesn't punch him but rather just holds him and moves him. And it lightly tapping him when he puts him on his back. Well the roles change, my friend gets his back taken and this is suppose to be light sparring, Forrest just starts punching the **** out of him on the side of his head like full on punches. Just his attitude at xtreme couture the whole time was he was a god and cant be touched. No pictures, wouldn't shake my hand, or my friends. A ****ing tool. He got knocked out by Evans and I was happy.
Mayweather at the Trini-Winky fight, chatted. Hopkins - I live in Philly Cotto - my buddy plays in his bomba band - partied in AC wit em. Juan Ma Lopez - At a club in LV after Cotto Margo fight Zab Judah - at Cotto Mosley fight Danny Garica - Golden Boy prospect, goes to my gym Raymond Serrano - WW prospect. from my neighborhood Margarito - Hard Rock Times Square after Mosley - Cotto fight in NY Chambers - Used to go to my gym I would really want to meet Tito but hes so freakin elusive..... One last fun fact.. My mom fought Hector Macho Camacho's niece at Iguanas Bar in Miami. Knocked her out 45 seconds. My moms record stands at 1-0 1ko... True story.
I see Hopkins quite often because I live in center city phila and we both shop at whole foods market. hes pretty cool, but doesn't say much. pictures and hand shakes and keeps it movin. He walks around like nothing, everyone is so used to seeing him its really no big deal. mayweather was quite nice.. although this was before he was really mainstream. he was actually giving an interview with manny steward and we asked him to come down and take a pic with us. he said hold up, we thought he was going to blow us off... but low and behold he didn't. came right down and took a pic. talked a few and went to his seat. to be honest he is alot smaller in person then I thought he would be.
