    I saw Joe Calzaghe and Roy Jones Jr at the Otter pub near Blackwood in Wales not long before their fight. I asked Joe for a picture but he said he was just leaving... and then he left.

    I heard Joe's a bit of a ***** in person.

    And I'm not saying that because I'm a Joe-hater, but I've seen a few posters who have met him, say that.

    I've seen Carl Johanneson in Leeds several times out drinking with his buddies.

    Doesn't really say much but always says hello to anyone who goes up to him.

    Think he's a shy lad. Plus talking wastes valuable drinking time :hey

    Met Richie Woodhall despite him living about 10 minutes away only met him once and that was in Denmark also met Arthur Abraham out there.

    Saw Prince Naz quite a few times when he was in sheffield. His mum and my mum know each other quite well. When he used to see me when i was younger his first words believe it or not were always 'Why aren't you in school' and 'Make sure your not messing about.'
     
  8. A bunch of my mates met him in London last year and said he was spot on. Took pictures with them and everything.

    I saw Danny Williams but didn't realise it was him at the time. I was staring at him and thinking this guy looks familiar.

    Lol, mate, I don’t know why, but he just rubs me up the wrong way.

    I look at guys like Klitschko brothers, Danny Williams, Michael Katsidis, Enzo Maccarinelli etc, and just know they’re top blokes. I don’t think I’d even need to meet them in person to confirm that. Can’t say the same for Joe, though.
