    Ricardo Mayorga and Alexis Arguello. I was a kid when i met Alexis so I dont remember that exchange that much, just that it was in a pizza hut. Ricardo Mayorga is actually quiet in real life, but he is always willing to take pictures with the fans. Pretty cool guy.

    I think i pissed him off a bit cause i kept asking him about Marquez :lol:

    We got refused entry to the Cavern Club, i asked the bouncer if he followed boxing, he said he did, so i introduced him to Marco and we got free entry :good

    I was walking in a mall in Toronto, the sears store specifically, and saw these 2 black guys walking towards me and could tell they weren't moving out of the way so I brushed by them, not wanting to give up too much ground but just enough so they knew i wasn't wanting trouble, looking dead into the really tall ones eyes -- they were like stone, very intimidating. Then I realized it was Lennox Lewis lol

    I met James Degale last year in Ibiza...Quite down to earth guy and was very open to my opinions over who I said he should fight next.

    Seemed a bit dim though.

    P.s the two people I said He should fight were any of the Dirrells and Kelly Pavlik.

    Obviously he didn't listen lol
