N E Fighters U Met???

nice one i ws just joshin mate. didnt quite turn out how he thought then.

I met him and his trainer at the press conference before the fight. I asked him do u think u will have problems if it goes past eight rounds. He looked at me as if I was mad or stupid and said he cannot outbox, i punch hard what the hell can he do

when you say with him :eek: :eek: :eek:

I have met Nigel Benn,Mike McCallum, Michael Nunn, Lennox Lewis,Barry Mcguian, Michael Brodie, Spencer Oliver,Glen Mcory,Ryan Rhodes,Dean Francis, Colin McMillian, Toks Owoh, David Haye, Gary Mason, Frank Bruno,Chris Eubank, Gerlad McCellan I must say that Gerald was not a nice person at all was rude and arrogrant this was before his fight with Benn, I was with him days before

I met Johnny Ruiz at my 3rd Amateur fight after I knocked this kid out with a nasty body shot in the second. I shook his hand and he said, "kid do they call you Rocky? You gotta learn to move your head, having a great chin and power is excellent to have but you need to stop getting hit because one of these days you will find someone who may put you down. But I guess all that matters is you won". All I could say was yup and then I walked away. Not too interesting but cool non the less.

he's never mentioned ryan rhodes so maybe he was there after 1998, thanks for replying mate anyway.

I met Julio Cesar Chavez, and Jose Luis Castillo, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, and his other son I think his name is Rafael (dont remember), here in Aspen, Colorado, he was training for the fight witht DLH. I even got pictures with him and everything.

How many threads have been on this. GOOD GOD!!!

fair enough mate, cheers for that, was just interested.

and the other two at the sanigers right, also didnt ask where asked why and how. just interested. Eastman was sparring at Empire (Sanigar's) once, and with me being a Middle I sparred him. Catley and Francis trained alongside me for years. I went to Neville's gym in 1997 or 1998 with a mate from Rotherham I met from kickboxing, and Ryan Rhodes was there.

The name doesn't ring a bell dude, I was at Neville's gym like eight or nine years ago. He was sparring Ryan Rhodes a lot, they were eachothers main sparring partners.

juyjuy, i spar with a guy who trains at neville browns gym in burton, his name is mark sherry, he's only had a handful of amateur fights but he's sparred with alot of good fighters including brown, shaun cummins and johnjo finighan, do you know him? he's a great bloke and is teaching me alot.

juy juy Im interested to know how you got spar these guys form so many different gyms, Catley and Francis are bristol (saniger) lads, Eastman london based, Rhodes - sheffield :confused: thats a lot of travelling. were you hired or just there for an amateur tournament or something? I sparred with Rhodes at Neville's gym. Eastman at Empire.

Or maybe she wrote it because it's true.

Yeah Couchy was a Jones nut-hugger because she had her photo taken with him, she fought on the Jones-Griffin II undercard and afterwards she met Jones and all that shit. The photo was up at the Empire, Jones had a baseball cap on backwards and a bottle of energy drink in his hand with a cheeky little smile. I agree with most of what Couchy was saying there apart from the Jones bit, she only nut-hugged Jones because she met him.

NICE one its amazing how affable the fighters can be out of the ring id approached right. not on the same level but i met Wayne Alexander (top light middle in brtiain) in apub not so long ago, left him about 2 hrs later after laughing heartily for those hours.. great stuff on la motta, got a signed picture of him i bought in my spare room. good stuff.

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice jabs...niiiiiiiice list. :cool: I met Giardello & LaMotta on the same night. Giardello's kid had a few pro fights (he wasn't really good), & I went to his debut. LaMotta was there to support the Giardellos. I was 13 years old....& I got Jake to sign the back of my ticket stub. Damn cool. I met Barkley across the street from MSG this past October (for Trinidad-Mayorga). I was there with another of this forum's posters, LuKhanLi. We stood & talked to Iran for a good half-hour He had a lot of LNICE things to say about Bob Arum...he-he. I met most of the Philadelphia fighters at various gyms, fight cards, etc. I met David Reid when he had a public workout for his fight with Simon Brown.

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice jabs...niiiiiiiice list. :cool:
