Was Trinidad rude or arrogant? Just curious.
Nah, he played nice guy when he saw how much niggas I was rolling with.
I threw on the ol' mean mug. He was showing me respect like how I should've been showing him respect. He wasn't rude to me at all.
wtf you bin alone with his wife in car
Actually he wanted to by my brothers car, he was away in camp, and he told me to go by there and give her a test drive. It was a Mercedes that he liked. She liked it too but like most females, she thought it was too big for her
I know Chop Chop, have been over his house, in the car alone with his wife, and have spokened with him on the phone.
Ive met Bowe alot as one of my boys use to live right beside his nephew and when I go over his house, Bowe use to be over there alot and he also use to live by Chop. I also met him in grocery stores alot.
Ive met Gary Jones who use to fight on FNF all the time. He is brothers with one of my old friends.
I also met Tony Thompson who has fought on FNF and he's pretty cool also.
I know a few singers, rappers, and guys in other sports also. One is Larry Johnson, the RB on the Chiefs. I know him really well and we both use to spend the night over my cousins house alot when we were younger
Trevor Berbick and Shane Sutcliffe regularly trained at my gym. Berbick was extremely strange and Sutcliffe was a really nice guy. Sutcliffe is a Canadian Heavyweight who fought the likes of Leon Spinks, Tua , Tyrell Biggs and Berbick.
Your Uncle was a judge at the Hatton/Pep fight.
Really? Hmm...I didn't know he ever judged at all. He has been to the UK more than once though to ref fights. He did Reid-Magee. Was gonna get Lacy-Calzaghe also but since he didn't, Florida let him do Jones-Tarver III.
I can only say I know a few. My uncle had a few pro fights, and was the Jr. Olympic champion in 1972. I also know Smoke Gainer. We talk a good bit.
Ezra Sellers, the recent cruiserweight champ...I know him to a lesser degree.
I know only 3...

Rockin right here on boxing scene and 2 up and comers Darryl "The People's Choice" Cunningham (175) and Lance Anderson (225). Great people and you will hear about them...they both have talent...one of them is the one I sparred and got my ass handed to me.
I know a fighter named Shane Sutcliffe. He was a prospect of sorts for a while but turned out to be nothing more then a journymen at best......He fought David Tua, Oleg Maskeav, Brian Nielson,Tyrell Biggs and was a sparring partner for Riddick Bowe and Holyfield and Tyson.
Patrick Maxwell, Middleweight
He is a prospect with only 12 fights and is 11-1. He has often sparred with Hatton and has once sparred with PBF. He fights out of Britain although he comes to the states a lot also.
