    Yeah its a shame that nobody says anything nice about Morales. I loved him as a fighter.

    I live right near Ricky Hatton and hes alrite but his brother is an arrogant asswipe with a chip on his shoulder probabaly coz hes a **** fighter and everyone likes his brother and not him.

    I met Prince Naseem Hamed in Manchester and hes a bit of an idiot aswel

    Naseem Hamed - Used to see him around town alot in the 90s. Him and his brothers are obnoxious characters.
    Amir Khan - sat near him on a flight. The cabin crew were acting like was royalty. All his family got promoted from premium economy into business .They travel economy despite being loaded.
    Also seen people like ryan rhodes and johnny nelson around town. Didnt really speak to them.

    I would have loved to have spoken to him in Spanish but tragically don't know any. It was just his demeanor, he could just be uncomfortable with people I guess - who knows.

    It's just when I added the experience to other things he's done out of the ring I cam up with one word - *****! Still love the guy though. The first fight with Barrera is my favourite fight of all time.

    Haven't had a chance to meet any of the really big stars from boxing yet... but glad to say only ever had good experiences

    But..

    Gairy St Clair - Top bloke was more then happy to stop and have a good chat with me on both ocassions ive met him.. was happy to jump in a pic and stuff..

    Paul Briggs - Another class act... met him at the Green VS Jones weigh in.. was happy for a chat.

    Daniel Geale - seemd like another nice bloke but he was on his way out when i bumped into him n could only stop for a quick pic...

    and surprisingly Anthony Mundine is a good bloke as well... had a decent yarn with him and seemed genuinly interested in what i had to say when he asked if i'd ever done any boxing and stuff.... completely different to how he portrays himself in the media

    so pretty much Aussie boxers are really cool outside the ring haha
