Well, J.J. was ringside out in Texas at Clay Bey vs Mayfield and I went up to him to say hello, maybe take a pic..I used to be friends with Thelma's sister in real life and figured that would be a good way to break the ice with him. So I go up and I mention her name...he stood there and acted like he didnt know who I was talking about... I mean, this is THELMA'S suster, the sisterof the girl who was on the show that made you famous, of course you know her... I made it very clear who she was...it's hard to explain but you can tell when someone is kind of acting a certain way, and he was. Maybe I caught him on a bad day, maybe he was tired. who knows. But I walked away immediately after I realized that the conversation would be going no furtherI need to hear your JJ from Good Times story.
DMC from Run DMC was mad cool. He likes to talk about the fights, very knowledgeable about boxing. He's a Mayweather fan if I recall properly. It was cool talking to one of my favorite rappers of all time about my favorite songs lolComment

Awesome stuff, as always Ice. I really enjoy reading your posts. I'll probably never meet anybody in the boxing world in person, and I doubt they would be as warm as you consistently are anyways.I know his son Marvis...three years ago I walked into their gym in North Philly to talk to Marvis...asked him how his dad was...he told me to go up and say hello...I went up to Joe's office and ended staying for about 45 minutes talking about woman, kids, Ali, etc etc. Really cool day.
Also, Emmanuel Steward is in his 60's now, won the AAU title in 1963 from what I remember, but I was in camp with them a few months ago and Manny was shadowboxing with Wlad one day, and he was moving pretty good, man
You're the man.Comment

Marco Antonio Barrera is another fighter whom I highly admire and would love to meet.
A pic of me next to Barrera would be the strangest thing anybody ever saw. Barrera's 5'6", 125lbs, and totally clean cut. I'm 6'7", 200lbs, and have long hair.
It's strange to think I may have to get on my knees to take a pic with him, lol. Otherwise he'd look like my son.Comment
