Your experiences meeting boxers

Winky does seem like a bit of a dick in interview.

Especially lately.... I'm not fighting so and so because they're nobody...... I won the fight but want £ x millions for a rematch :zzz

:finger

You've not beaten a top class fighter for like years pal

A lot of them have different personas away from the stage, Tarver for instance comes across as a prized bell end in the pre-fight stuff, but on commentary is really good.

 

What did he say about Reid then?

 

I was thinking that too

 

There was a bit of needle in the build up to their fight if I remember correctly.

Back to topic, only met Joe and Enzo.

Met Calzaghe once after the Hopkins fight in Planet Hollywood, he seemed a sound bloke and was very gracious to the support from the brits out there.

Met and spoke to Enzo Mac loads of times as he lives around by me. He's a top bloke.

Oh and I've met Stallone 3 times (Rocky Balboa) if that counts.

 

Damn right it does :deal

Reid still whines about that too so no wonder Calzaghe ripped him to be honest

 

I have a pic of me with Bunce and I look bigger time for a diet maybe.

Richie Woodhall was very quiet and didnt seem to keen to chat ..... Smokin Joe Frasier was a top bloke big smile and had time for people ... Hatton is a funny guy ; i had a run in with some up coming boxer who was shouting his mouth of at a dinner he was spouting off do you know im a boxer to which my response was im an 18st Rugby League player - Hatton piped up my moneys on the rugby player ...

My fav pro fighter Joe Egan - a top top bloke who was at my last comeback fight back in Oct 07 .. a genuinely nice bloke ... Tommy Morrison though loves himself ...

 

I thought Hatton was alright, he wasn't surrounded by his numpties either when I met him so maybe that's why.

Nigel Benn was a bit of a let down considering how much I idolised him growing up but maybe my expectations were too high.

Robin Reid was a good laugh, met him a few times.

 

Nothing specific but called him a "****ing ****"!

Lol.

 

bull****

 

How I envy you. :verysad

Haven't met anybody.

 

why

 

Met Joe C and Enzo Mac in London - Joe was attending a court case with Frank Warren - both Joe and Enzo were really cool.

Barry Mcguigan used to own a house about 1/2 a mile from me... bought it off Nigel Mansell. I remember him coming to our school to give a bit of a speech and sign autographs. From what I remember, he was really cool with us.

Steve Collins - soundest fella you could ever meet.

Derry Matthews too, albeit briefly - nice lad.

 

I Haven't met any boxer but if I could have a chat with someone for an hour, it would probably be Hopkins. I'm not even a big fan of him as a boxer but he's got presence. I admire the way he turned his life around. Floyd too. Pac is my boy but I look up to Floyd too.
