    It'd be easier to do the most disliked boxer list because that would be much shorter.

    generally boxers are the realest most down to earth athletes.

    I met Bruno a few years back when he was playing the Genie in Aladdin!:lol:

    He was signing for all of the young kids after and was a really friendly character.

    sounds good. i should start planning. when are these banquets and how do you get in the vip? so which fighters party hard? i know gatti's partying is as legendary as his fights. i've also heard chavez can drink quite a bit, even though you say he's an *******.

    i'm sure he knows the fans made him who he is. he just seems like the alex rodriguez of boxing. he says exactly what you want to hear. it's almost like he took media speaking class 101 or something. first he said pac doesn't punch hard, then he says that questions if pac was clean because mosley, and vargas punch felt the same as pac's. well, which one is it?

    Yea i met Ricky Hatton before proper down to earth bloke just like he seems on telly. met him in a bar in tenerife. There was a photographer in there who was chargin ppl for photos for their keyrings and was makin no money. then Ricky jumped up and offered to be in ppl photos with them for free! Photographer couldnt believe his luck!

    Met David haye aswell at bunces live tour, nice geezer was talkin about the Valuev fight. I asked him do you think you can knock out valuev and he replied "i dont know, maybe if he gets tired" - Not as cocky as in real life.

    One person i met who is a wanker tho. James Degale. what a flash **** whos done nothing....cant wait til George Groves knocks him out.

    I met Paul briefly and he was a pretty decent guy. I think he was more shocked that I knew who he was than anything else.

    Aswell not goin on personal experience but just tv, you gotta say Manny Pacquiao. One of boxings nice guys. Hes so modest, a quaility which is rarely bestowed in fighters these days.
