    :pLucas matthysse in Cincinnati ohio (very polite and didn't mind to pose for several pics). Paulie malinaggi in brooklyn(cool down to earth guy. Very humble and open to conversation). Demetrius Andrade Barclay's center in Brooklyn (humble, reserved dude. He was very open to conversation) Eddie Chambers good friend his personality is a mere image you see on TV during interviews. Hank Lundy really confident dude. Very competitive even in sparring. His sparring is great entertainment a lot of showboating and trash talking lol. He really doesn't hold any words back you either like him or you don't, but you think he cares? Fu%$ no lol. Kevin Johnson in new jersey .this dude is really a funny character. Can't see who wouldn't like being around this guy. BERNARD Hopkins philadelphia. Was inspired by his life's story.he took time out of his day after training to go through his whole life before and during his career.

    I asked Barry mcguigan how he was, nice to meet you, could I have your autograph?
    He took out a pile of postcards with his photograph on it and signed it "to Andrew, now go away!! Barry mcguigan"

    Calzaghe had his head so far up his **** is was stupid! Hardly made any conversation or eye contact, he just didn't wanna chat and had this look on his face the whole time as if he had just farted and it smelt of roses

    Only met Junior Witter and Curtis Woodhouse (when he was playing for Sheffield United. I was a mascot which shows how long ago this was :p)

    Both were really nice guys; especially Witter.


    Also, when Mike Tyson visited to do some sort of event, I went down to see if I could get my boxing gloves signed. Tyson did start coming over, apparently willing to sign them until his ****head security/manager intervened and bungled him into his car so he seems like he'd be a decent enough guy too.

    He trained my cousin back in the day under the management of Gil Clancy and by all accounts he was a nice guy. %90 of all boxers I've met have been nice.

    Zab, Camacho jr, Porter when he was much younger. None where ass holes, most people aren't if you're respectful

    Holmes may have been a nice guy but he certainly seemed like he had a chip on his shoulder. I saw him in several airports when he was the champ and he always seemed like he had an attitude. People were afraid to approach him.
