    I saw Arturo Gatti at a Montreal nightclub in 2008

    Lennox Lewis at Sully's boxing gym with his personal trainer Courtney Shand, saw him there few months out from his fights 99-02ish

    George Chuvalo and his son Mitch at Sully's pretty regularly until around 2009

    George Foreman at a Meineke event in 2010

    Mike Tyson in Vegas at ufc fan expo, 2010

    Former HW prospect Olexandr Teslenko @ Sully's

    Also seen most big name MMA fighters from late 90s-late 00s from gym seminars and fight expos.

    Mike Tyson at the championship fight between Klit and areolla. Diego Coralos in Sac, Vincete Escobedo when he was opening his gym in woodland, Greg Hougin was dating a friend of my mom’s, Mike Galbreath, the movie all American boy was based on him. On a side note also sparred with Uriah Faber, Phill Barone, met Kevin Randlemon and Randy Couture

    Muhammad Ali and Archie Moore. Ali came in a gym I was working out in. we talked for a few minutes. Very nice to speak with him. Met Archie Moore at a wrestling match when I was a young kid about...12 or 13. again....very nice. He was surprised I knew so much about his fights.

    James Buster Douglas. Gave me a lift Christmas Eve back in 99 to the next town. Gave me 400 dollars money too for accommodation. That 400 dollars was stolen by Floyd to put on his Christmas Day Parlay for NBA. Tyson wanted a piece of it too so he bit off a little more than he could chew. We hung out with Oscar but he was a drag. Margarito well he told me to harden the **** up and have a glass of concrete. All in all T'was a good night and it was a good memory.

    Which Boxers have you met in real life?
