    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.

    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.
