    That's the second knock on Mosley. I guess he's a bit fake then.

    I've met:

    Tito Trinidad
    Ivan Calderon: met him at the JML-Concepcion fight and I was a bit drunk so I went ahead and asked him "why dont you fight segura?" And he said with an attitude "if theres no money, what do you want me to do??" Two weeks later the fight was signed lol.
    John John Molina
    Bernabe Concepcion
    Wilfredo Gomez
    Although not a boxer I met Jimmy Lennon Jr and he was a really down to earth.

    They were all nice

    The only fighters I have met were Micky Ward and Butterbean.

    Im from MA, and live pretty close to Lowell, and surely enough, I met him in a mall... He was extremely nice, like the down to earth Massachusetts working class guy. We took a picture together and talked for a while. He probably gets much more recognition because of "The Fighter".

    I met Butterbean at a autograph signing before a MMA event, and he was super nice, he seemed pretty happy that I knew some stuff from his boxing career. He is also huge. His forearms are the biggest forearms I ever saw. They are not even fat. Its like pure muscle. But Butterbean himself is fat as hell...

    I've ate lunch with Tyson a time or two.....actually had lunch on Tyson...he pays the tab for anyone in the joint. He loved Hot Sauce Williams on the near east side of Cleveland, and I met him there a couple times, and at Tower City in Cland about 4 times. But even though he was heavily guarded, fightfans were ALWAYS allowed inside his circle. He'd sign for EVERY kid who asked too.

    Truly, Tyson IS as great a man out of the ring as he was in it.:good

    Suger Ray Leonard. He seemed like a regular guy. And he is small. I mean really small. It's amazing he was still superior above 147.

    too many to name, but ill give a few shoutouts:

    the best fighter to fans: Vinny Paz
    biggest dick: Hagler, actually he's the only boxer I've met that was a dick
    and he's not a big name, but Miguel Espino took a pic with me right after he was ko'd by Pavlik, and he was great, very good guy.

    Morales was total badass, no smile, but totally respectful to fans.

    Also, took shots with leon Spinks and he coughed couvassier (sp?) all over me.

    Antonio Tarver. Ignored me, too busy trying to get ringside for the Agbeko/Mares fight. Felt really embarassed about that.

    Also saw Earnie Shavers and Ken Norton. Broke my heart a little when Ken Norton spoke.

    Other than that, Billy Schwer. Nice enough bloke.
