        Sometimes you meet boxers in unusual places...I was downtown Hartford, CT a few years ago one night at around 1 am and LUIS RESTO was getting off of a bus on his way to Boston...I didnt realize who he was right away but a kid I was with, a boxer too, knew him instantly...

          I met Margarito before at a local MMA event.

          I also met Brandon Rios a few months back. It was a couple weeks after the Margarito-Pac fight. He was at a grocery store buying like 30 turkeys. Told me he was donating them to a homeless shelter. I talked to him a little bit and he asked me what I thought about the Pac-Margarito fight and he told me he was going to be getting a title shot pretty soon. A few weeks later I see he has a fight lined up against Acosta.

            met RJJ and George Foreman when I was a kid at a boxing charity event that my dad brought me along with..Roys prime and he was still so humble..

            SRL..see him about every year for a few years straight now for fight night..he is the only one who has always kept his scheduled appearances every time...
            Earnie Shavers..actaully Ive met him numerous times..he and my dad are friends and I see him often at local boxing events..ect!..very humble and great attitude
            B-hop when I was younger...Quick Tillis, family friend...Ronnie Shields.

              funny...I didnt want to mention him..but a family member of mine trained him since he was a kid right up until he got set for the "big times"..back then Allan was pretty straight..but always off-putting..he switched as soon as he got a little shine..and hes like that with even his own family..hes just an as$hole by nature I think..

                David Tua, Shane Cameron, Anthony Mundine (he was still a pro rugby player at the time though) and Richie Woodhall. All really down to earth guys, even Mundine!
