    Hey Guys

    I got a media credential when I was in Vegas and ran into a bunch of good/ great fighters.

    I'm just curious as to who you think came across as assholes and who were cool guys?

    Incidentally what's the best way to post photos? Imageshak was giving me the shits!

    Fighters were....

    Hatton
    Calzaghe
    Berto
    Zab Judah
    Juan Manuel Marquez
    Eric Morales
    Genaro Hernandez

    I've met Hatton numerous time's, he seem's a decent guy, polite and stuff.

    Calzaghe come's across as a wanker and i can imagine him being one.

    Berto, Marquez and Morales i can imagine being cool

    I would imagine Judah to be a prime idiot

    good stuff. like to see some official boxing dudes here.

    at the top of your the reply box click insert image and insert the url. is that what you meant.

    hatton- down to earth but up himself if there is such a thing
    calzaghe- MAHASSIVE cockhead (or cokehead you choose) but approachable
    berto- polite but arrogant
    zab judah- .......
    JMM- pretty humble
    eric morales- not nice at all
    genaro hernandez- polite, respectful, humble.


    2/10 i guess

    Everyone that I know who's met Zab Judah has told me that he's among the coolest guys in boxing (when it comes to fans).

    I'm sure I'll be seen as bias but Joe has always been decent and approachable whenever I have seen him.

    Pretty close mate.

    Hatton was a nice guy. Bumped into him 3 or 4 times. I asked if he liked the fight and he said; "**** Boring! After 6 rounds I needed a ****in pint!" It's hardly surprising he said that.

    I spoke to Calzaghe for ten minutes. Typical considering I don't like the guy and it was him that came over to me:patsch He talked **** about how he hates Warren, Hatton not being a great fighter and how there's no money in him coming back. I asked if he would consider Dawson and he poo pood it based on dollars but acknowledged Chad was the goods. He laughed off a Hopkins rematch although I didn't bring that up.

    Marquez appeared to be a great guy and was very friendly. He can't speak English that well but I was over the moon to meet such a great fighter. Nice guy.

    Morales was a straight up *******. I admit fans can **** people off but I couldn't have been nicer and he wasn't even remotely busy. Nobody ended up noticing him. I still love the guy as a fighter but heard he was a ***** and he didn't let me down.

    Judah was a typical fake gangster idiot. I regretted going near him. I asked him a couple of questions but he kind of shrugged me off. I was tempted to do the Zab dance in front of him but thought better of it.

    Berto was a gem of a guy. He hopes he can fight in the UK in the future and desperately wanted the winner of WHO R U PICKING. A fan fighter in and out of the ring and what a champion should be. Spoke to him bout his family and stuff and he couldn't have been nicer.

    Hernandez was cool as ice. Talked to him about his health and asked how he was doing.

    Met Rocky Juarez in a bar called Zuri. Spoke to him for ten minutes or so and he was a real touch of class. He asked who I though won the first fight with Barrera, I told him I thought he won but in truth I can't remember how I scored it lol.

    Exactly!!!

    He is by far one of the coolest guys to meet.


    And I have to say,
    This content is protected
    was the absolute coolest boxer I have met outside the ring. Serious **** guys. He really is.


    I don't really count Paul, since I have known him for so long.

    I see Calzaghe and Enzo Macarenelli wandering around the bars and restauarnt part of the 02 arena, no entourage or nothing, they seemed approachable and were happy to sign autographs and and posing for pictures.

    Dunno if they were being assholes as i didnt go over to em, i never see the point of trying to have a chat with a sports star for 30 seconds, you're not gonna get anymore info than you would watching a tv interview.
