Boxers u met in person

one of my cousin used to clean his house but knows nothing about american boxing (he's Mexican) and told me he was cleaning a boxer house whos name was foreman, so i showed a couple of his fights

 

I've met chris eubank a few times, nigel benn once, i met floyd mayweather Jr, I met Audely Harrison, David Haye, I met Kevin Mitchell (Guy who got knocked out by Katsidiz) I met Frank Bruno, that about it really.

By met i mean at least had a convo with not just looking at them from a crowd.

 

Did he have to scrape the hamburger meat out of the GF Grill?

 

Saw Prince Naz quite a few times when he was living in sheffield. His mum and my mum know each other quite well.

 

met Winky Wright at Jones vs Tarver 2. ran into him all weekend GREAT guy. Got a 4year old German Shepard named Winky after him. Met a lot of fighters in Las Vegas. Met Juan Mnuel Marquez many times. I actually carried the WBA belt into the ring for him at the Katsidis fight this past November. Got to go to his after fight party. Nice guy. No BS. Had the time to talk to everyone there. Carrying the belt into the ring was the ultimate experience. Great fighter GReat guy. Met Rocky Juarez many times as well. A real stand up guy. Always has the time to talk and hang out. kevin Kelly is also a great guy. MAN if you like to talk boxing he is the guy to talk to .

 

yeah I used to see winky all the time at the park on the way to school and I just thought he was some amateur dude, this was before I watched boxing in the late 90s

 

Talked to them?

Are you in the business or what!

Some ******* in a tricked out chrystler 300 with a solid black tinted windshield was right on my bumper at a stoplight so I drove real slow on purpose because he was annoying me. I thought it was either a drug dealer or nfl player because of the car. When he passed I realized it was jeff lacy because of the license plate. Does that count?

 

I met the guy once in 26th street in Chicago, he was promoting his fight against Javier Castillejo. He can definitely be a *****...I was wearing a shirt of his with a picture of him on the back, now I will admit the shirt was a little small but back then I was in shape and it did not look bad on me, anyway one of the first things he said to me was "that shirt is a little thight", but besides that he was cool with me. We were talking about a possible rematch vs De la Hoya and he said in Spanish "we're going to kick his ass this time". He signed some gloves for me and took a few pics.

You can actually see a picture I took with him on his website under the "soldados" section.

 

:yep :hey :rofl

 

Floyd a G.

 

I would want to meet Zab Judah. He seems like a goofy person and fought a few great fighters. Zab would have stories about who was the hardest fight, the smartest fighter, the quickest, etc.

 

Way too many to mention.

I've spent a week with Mike Tyson, got drunk with Tim Witherspoon, hung out with Hearns, Leonard and Duran and met everyone from David Haye to Nigel Benn.

They say never meet your heroes...
