Coolest boxer u have met yet?

[PWESTNYC]

WOW, MAN, U guessed the Blade on the first try??????!!!

HAHAHA I'm good like that!

I recall reading something about that event and Iran challenged him to a fight .

He kept insisting Evander listen to him and Evander didn't want anything to do with him.

So they don't like each other too much.

I met Iran at a couple of cards held in the MSG Theater. He's a good guy. A little crazy, but definitely a character

The only boxer I ever met was Evander Holyfield back in the day. It was at a Yankee game in Yankee Stadium in 1996. I was only 10 years old at the time and me and my old man were going to the restrooms in the 5th inning or so when who do we see but the Real Deal walking out of the bathroom with these 2 huge bodyguards. I asked him for his autograph and he completely ignored me. Just kept walking and looking straight ahead. I'll never forget that day because after the game I got an autograph from Jeter, O'Neill and Posada but it was still pretty weird. The Real Prick is what my father has called him ever since.

With all the heat Holy is getting in this thread, I will add that he is notorious for being one of the biggest cheapskates of all time.

You would be too if you had to pay child support for 20 kids

Hate to say this but one of the rudest boxer I have ever met was Evander "Real Deal" Holyfield. The man would not take pictures nor sign anything with the fans. It surprised me cause you know how he's a rejuvinated christian after his heart condition and all. I thought he would have appreciated the fans a little more than that.

same thing when I saw him in atlantic city for the lews/jackson fight. no one could get near him,,,although that doesnt mean he's rude. fwiw,, a couple female friends of mine saw him in jamaica after he had just beat douglass for the title. they said he was very nice but then again they were totally hot so that may have mellowed him out,,lol

I have heard more than one credible story from someone who said something very similar after meeting Holyfield. One guy who I consider VERY credible tells me of the time in NYC at the Boxing Writers dinner when a certain former three time world champion who was down on his luck at the time asked Holy to sign the program book for him and Holyfield said NO right to his face in full view of several people

not too surprising considering he's supposedly a devout christian yet has like 10 kids from 10 different women,,,has cheated on his wives,,used steroids etc. that doesnt say a hell of a lot for his character although I totally respect and admire how he fought in the ring

I get a little tired of guys like him who claim to follow religion so closely etc..but when they are called on things like having all these kids out of wedlock they just say that they are human and they made a mistake, no man is pefect, etc. Man, stop!! Having unprotected sex (repeatedly) with women who are not your wife is not a "mistake," you know????

Roy Jones was cool with me! Enzo Macrenelli was pissed as a fart when I met him he was doing the chicken dance all over the shop but he was cool.
