    Miguel Cotto
    Bernard Hopkins
    Mike Tyson (as retired)

    Actually i heard that Margarito is a nice guy My uncles friend works at LEG LAKE park where Margarito regularly jogs at, and he always talks to Margarito and says hes really cool. I hope to bump into him I heard that Margarito and Izzy Vasquez live int he same city as me West Covina,Ca.

    Also forgot to mention the first fighter ive ever met Paul Gonzalez i was 13 and they were doing some fundraiser for him going to the Olympics. He had a chick on each arm and was already very popular even though he hadnt won Gold yet. Anyways long story short he was talking with me for a long time and was tripping out what a boxing fan I was . It was cool cause I was this young kid and Paul forgot about his party and was rapping with me for a long time. Convinced me to start up boxing again since i had started at 8 but stopped after awhile once they closed the gym. He convinced me to give it another try and told me about his gym at Hollenback.

    I was backstage with Oscar and Chavez for 20 minutes before they got introduced. I tried going over to talk to Chavez but when I was about 10 feet away his entourage circled him-- I got the hint and instead went over to talk to Oscar.

    i agree with this on arguello, if there ever was a gentleman in boxing arguello was it.
    currently i think if you get to know cotto, the guy would turn out to be a great friend.

    Paul had some skills, too bad his body could not handle professional boxing.
