Name the fighters you have met face to face

I've only been to fights in Ireland so I've only met Irish fighters (Andy Lee and Bernard Dunne). I know this thread says "fighters you have met" but since he's the most famous boxing person I've met I'll mention Manny Steward. Other than that no one....:-(

 

All good bro.

Boxing's my favorite sport and I haven't even met a boxer. Only MMA fighters.

 

3 world champs and an Olympic champ

Miguel Cotto
Joshua Clottey
Bernard Dunne
Michael Carruth


Met loads of others too many to list here

 

Sorry but you have the worst list

 

Wow, met a ton. Sparred Steve Forbes well over 100 rounds and Ronald Hearns 60 or so. Sparred Lanardo Tyner, Vernon Parris, Rubin Williams, Bernard Harris, Met Tommy Hearns, Emmanuel Steward, Andy Lee, and a ton of other local Detroit Fighters.

 

Michael Moorer was a gentleman. He was with a girlfriend/wife. Held the door for my mom while walking into a boxing match(he wasn't fighting, just watching the fights).

Also saw Shannon Briggs(also not fighting) the same night. He walking with his girl I think and everyone was saying whats up to him. Wasn't able to get to him cause it was too packed. He seemed to be nice and was responding back individually to everyone that said whats up.

 

George Foreman
Shawn O Grady
Buck Smith
Antonio Minturo Nogueria

 

Antonio Tarver. Nice guy.

 

pernell whitaker

 

Great story. I always knew Foreman was a good guy(even before Ali, he was a good kid from my estimation). Alot of people like to throw around this myth that he was fake without giving any evidence.

Since you sparred both of them please compare George and Wlad's power.

 

Lee Sala - middleweight contender in the late 40s/ early 50s, met him in Florida afew about 3 years ago and being only 16, i sat there and listened to his war stories for about 4 hours!
