Ive met Hasim Rahman- Very nice guy....HUGE ****ing hands... Not very tall but long arms and very compact build. Fres Oquendo- Shockingly small.... seemed about 6 foot. Very nice and humble guy also. I stood next to Mayweather... I literally felt sorry for him. He looks like an 8 year old boy in person. De La Hoya- about the same height as me...but had a very strange frame. Nice guy.
B Hop use to train at the gym i use to train at when i was in highschool, met him a couple times there, pretty hilarious dude
I met Ali and Khan on the same day - Khan was great, friendly, one of the lads, really chilled out. Even though Ali couldn't talk he smiled a lot and goofed around which was brilliant. Then I met David Haye at a party in London - was politely friendly but I could see he was kinda sick of people coming up to him I met Chris Eubank in Harrods - he was ****ing HILARIOUS - kept grinning and smiling and he was all twitchy and a bit nervous! But boy did he have a handshake - like a ****ing vice! Almost shook my whole arm off I met Audley Harrison at a bar in London - he was stuck up - This was in 2007 - maybe he got a little humbler after his beatings.
This is one of the coolest threads I've ever seen on here. Let's keep the stories going. One more... A long time ago I called up Jim Rome on the radio while he was interviewing Lennox Lewis. I got to ask Lennox what other fighter he likes to watch. He told me that he loves watching Mark "Too Sharp" Johnson fight because if his quickness and skill.
Silly question... Is there an 'age limit' of getting a photo with a boxer/ sports personality... I could of got a photo with Ricky Hatton last weekend but I sorta bottled it being 24 and thinking I was to old to get a photo with him.
