    Joan Guzman, Manny Pacquiao, George Foreman loves the attention lol, Floyd Mayweather Sr. is also cool about it. Pavlik, Vazquez, Shane Mosley, surprisingly... Ricardo Mayorga too!

        I know for sure Juan Diaz is kind, he wont mind talking or signing an autograph. Rocky Juarez is laid back.

          I've heard Floyd and Paulie are really nice to people, but not sure if they count since they act like *******s during Press conferences.

            All fighters I've met in real life are cool in my book. They didn't seem to rushed when taking pictures with people and were genuinely happy to be with the fans.

            Fighters I've had pictures/ autographs with:

            - Oscar de la Hoya. I had to do three picture takes with him because the person taking the picture kept on ****ing up. And Oscar was cool about it and wasn't annoyed. ( even when there were hundrerds of people like me wanting pictures with him)

            - Nonito Donaire

            - Lennox Leiws

            - Juan Manuel Marquez

            - Herold Ledderman. He's real cool, talked about some prospects with him

            - Roy Jones Jr.

            these boxing interent geeks talk ****, but meet a fighter in real life, and they'll probably tell a different story

                  I meet De La Hoya at the press conference for the Mayweather fight.
                  It was in the lobby of the MGM Grand.. He signed my boxing glove and Roach signed my other. He was pretty cool. He took a long time to get to the stage because he was taking his time signing things.. He even brought his own sharpie lol

                  Floyd on the other hand just jolted straight twards the podeum and ignored everybody. All his fans got was a cheap t-shirt that said ****** Rich Records that his people were handing out.

                    Too many to name really. Kassim Ouma is probably the most fun to be around, just a down to Earth, head in the clouds guy with an infectious laugh and not a care in the world.

                    Ricardo Mayorga is loud, but in an acceptable, friendly way. He's the life of the party wherever he goes and people love him for it. He's a real common person.

                    Paulie Malignaggi is probably the most down to Earth fighter that you wouldn't expect to be. He answers every question any fan/reporter has to ask and quickly warms to the company and becomes friends with everyone. He's like a kid you might play Fight Night with, not at all like a boxer.

                    Emmile Griffith is the warmest, most loving person on the face of the planet. He is just a joy to be around and a sincere soul.

                    Floyd Mayweather is a pretty cool guy also. He is a fan-friendly guy who rarely turns down an autograph or a picture with his fans. El Jefe and I went to see him in NYC. Jefe went there a Floyd hater and left a PBF nuthugger.

                    Jameel McCline seems so nice, you get the feeling he detests having to hit anyone.

                    David Tua, probably the most fan-friendliest guy I've seen.

                    There are a ton of fighters that I couldn't care less about because of their attitudes, but why waste time in mentioning them?
