Your favorite John Scully Story?

[Mr. Ryan]

BoxingScene.com: I understand that you have met MC Hammer before. Was it Hammer Time or was he simply 2 Legit too quit?

Scully: "So I see Hammer and there was a big group of people around him getting pictures and autographs. I like to get pics so I go over and I am kind of waiting for an opportunity. He has a big bodyguard with him and the guy is annoyed at the people it seems. So finally I get next to him and I am about to ask for a picture and this guy jumps in before I can and says 'That's it, man. No more pictures.' I am like 'What? I was standing here for a while, come on.' He sas no again so I figure I missed the chance.

"As I was walking away, though, I remember something that my father the salesman always told me was his key to success. 'Never take no for an answer.' So I turned around and went back over by Hammer and he was there by himself now and the bodyguard was turned the other way trying to stop someone else from coming over. So I grabbed Al Cole and handed him my camera and said 'Take this quickly.' I asked Hammer and he was real cool, said 'yeah, come on, let's take a good one.' By the time I was posing with Hammer the bodyguard had turned around and was looking right at me. I couldn't help but give the dude a real smug look, like a half smile, half smirk that said 'That's right big man. I'm back and I got the picture.' He was not pleased with me. I still have the picture, too."

I like the one where he talks about the Tommy Hearns look-alike.

That's a great story. ^ HaHA! Nice.


As far as Scully goes I can tell you that the girl in American Spirit's avatar thinks John is one of the hottest guys alive. I can confirm that.

My favorite story from Ice involved that brawl he was in during one of his fights.. That was the ****. The video is priceless. If anyone can post that I'll hit em with some karma.

I call this timeless John Scully story, "Iceman gets Wacked in the Nuts by Carmen Basilio"

BoxingScene.com: "Among your many memories in the boxing business, one of them includes getting wacked below the belt by Carmen Basilio. Describe the experience to us.

Scully: "That was back around 1992 at a boxing dinner in Connecticut and Basilio was there. At the end of the night it was a thing where my trainer, a young guy at the time, a former fight named Pepe Vazquez, at the time was fooling with Carmen, shadowboxing with him. So I go over and I am acting like I am Pepe's backup and I put my hands up like I am going to fight, too. So Basilio turns towards me and squares up with me and when he kind of rushed towards me, as a reaction, I pulled out what is my favorite move as a fighter. He's coming in and I grab him behind the elbow and turn him away from me. I do that in fights and sparring all the time. I teach all my boxers that move, it allows you to push your opponent off balance and then counter him before he can set up again.

"So as I did it I was thinking how smoothly that went and how I'm gonna' tell people how I pulled my maneuver on the great Basilio. As he was being pulled by me, though, he reached out with his left hand, just as quickly as I had grabbed his elbow and turned him, and he clipped right below the belt with what you could say was a very well placed shot."
