    I didn't go to the club. I was at the restaurant in the hotel (don't recall which restaurant) when Tarver sat at our table. After Tarver sat with us, he took pictures and signed autographs. Then we all headed to the arena to see the fight. The picture in my avatar is the photo of Tarver and myself. The obnoxious Antonio Tarver we all see on television is not the same Antonio Tarver that was polite enough to sit down have dinner with a bunch of strangers. He's a cool dude. No joke.

    Micheal Gomez comes across as a wanker

    Prince Naz is got too wrapped up in is own hype and turned from a funny cocky kid into an very arrogant and rude guy.

    James Hare, David Haye, Jonny Nelson, Enzo Mac are all sound.

    I sometimes wonder why Tarver is so hated. I never met him or anything but he always comes across as good-natured in interviews and so on. He's pretty funny too, that 'any excuses tonight Roy?' was classic.

    The one boxer I know is a total wank is De La Hoya...a real creep.

    i remember a few years ago in sydney,jeff fenech got himself into a fight at a nightclub.he was real drunk and being a real twat.got thrown out of the club but then proceeded to keep fighting ppl outside.never made the media.
    however later on after his career was over he settled down and become a decent guy again.

    Can't speak for many but Enzo Macaranelli is a nice guy from the same area as me and Calzaghe also is a top bloke.

    Nigel Benn is also a class act.

    Kostya Tszyu is one of the nicest boxers i have ever met, He goes out of his way to sign stuff and for a photo, After a fight between Danny Green and Anthony Mundine where a group of us from Kostya's forum came from around Australia to watch it, Kostya invited about 15 of us to his place for a coffee and a tour where we all got to wear his belts.

    Also the time i met Tyson in 2004 he was a really nice man

    Which of the following is true?
    1) Your head really does look like a big white dot
    2) Your camera/photo developer thought it best to "censor" the image for decency reasons
    3) You didn't want people to know what you looked it so you replaced your face with the white dot


    As long as you do not hassle people they should be nice to you.

    I went to a Barrera/Juarez II weigh-in though and got lots of signitures and talked to lots of people. The rudest people there though were Hopkins and Mosley and they blanked everyone when they left.

    Eastman was a real gentleman when I got to speak to him the morning after the Hopkins fight. He was impressed that we'd travelled from the UK to see him and had the time to talk to us.
