    Met him once seems to like to keep himself to himself not in an arrogant way just seems to be a bit quiet

    Mind going into a little more detail mate? I always read so many people with bad words to say about him, but never much explanation.

    No worries if not

    I remember someone bumping into Matthew Hatton in bogs in Vegas. Remember the poster saying he was a mug.

    Don't agree with this one. I met him at an amateur boxing show he was just stood at the side watching on his own and had a lot of time for pics and autographs when everyone noticed. Good of him to just go and support local boxing I thought.

    I've met Willie Limond and he was sound, spent five minutes chatting away to me about boxing in general.

    met most of the manchester based boxers, all sound.above em all though was when me and son met dieggo corales.Was at the brodie v harrison show at M.E.N.
    He was just walkin past us to his seat, i shouts him over brief chat and i asked him "how the **** did you get up in that tenth round" he just beat his heart and said,..was my time man,MY WAR, was my time,....this was bout several weeks only after the fight.Quality,had pic taken with son.Winky wright was with him and jeff lacey, all seemed nice nuff.
    Teddy atlas was nice guy, when i met him at a show.Had a chat with him about his book, he seemed suprised it was doing so well here in U.K.
