Oh yeah...well...cool. I thought I did pretty good with meeting:

Larry Holmes (don't even really care if he's in the room anymore, pretty common for me to see)
Alexis Arguello
Jose Torres
Gene Fullmer
Carmen Basilio
Ruben Olivares
Carlos Ortiz
Marvin Hagler
Lennox Lewis (well was a few feet from him, didn't talk to him)
John Stracey
Eddie Perkins (poor guy was in bad health but a very happy man)
Orlando & Gaby Canizales (they were truly nice people)
Michael Carbajal
Pernell Whitaker
Hector Camacho Sr.

I have a feeling I'm missing a few, but I'm still pretty happy with who I've met. Only Whitaker and Camacho were pricks, and just last month Livingstone Bramble insulted me/Larry Holmes for a good 2-3 minutes straight as I just stood there waiting for him to sign and give my autograph book back.

 

Not sure i'd call em all ATG

Can't believe you met all those, including Snipes etc but no Super Greg Page!!!!

:-(

 

Chris Eubank, Ken Buchanan, Barry McGuigan, Paul Weir.

 

I can't believe you missed the Super Greg Page thread posted on here recently. :-(

 

I didn't actually :yep

 

Wow, i've only met Ernie Shavers.

 

...and you didn't post? Feeling okay?

 

I was sat 10 feet away from Michael Watson and I talked to Steve Bunce on the phone. That is it and neither of these come under ATG boxers, in fact bunce is just a journalist!

 

Oh yeah i met David Haye as well.
