Really almost every boxer I've ever talked to was at least pleasant and more often very nice. I was just trying to answer both sides to Ice's question. But Fenech definitely gave me a dirty look though and I could tell he wasn't someone to **** around with.
    LOL about Fenech, i wonder what that look was about. Thanks, i guess tua is soft spoken, i just asked because someone who met him told me that he was a nice guy, and tyson too. 2 of the most ferocious punchers who wanted to kill guys in the ring, *****cats outside lol but it's the case with most boxers.

    i also heard that leonard was a ****. i quite sure that bernard is a jerk, because he asks money for autographs. chavez sr foesnt smile lol

      Mayweather, Lazcon, and Vanes were all pretty cool guys.
      ODLH was an *******. When people wanted to take a picture with him, girls and guys would try to put their arms around him and his security would hold their arms about an inch or 2 away from his body.

          I have been in boxing for 25 years and had the pleasure of meeting alot of boxers. Both Klitsckos were very fan friendly. I was at the Ibragimov-Wlad fight at MSG (two years after interviewing Wlad in Germany) He remembered who I was, which is a rarity with celebrities. Wlad took my fiancee and I out to dinner one night when I was interviewing him, and treated me like a king. SRL is a jerk, so is Joe Mesi, and David Tua. Chris Arreola, Kevin Johnson and Wlad are the funniest and most aprreciative fighters I know. Wlad carries pictures of him to his fights (to autograph). I kid you not, He had sign probably 2000 autographs that night, Ibragimov maybe signed two. Arreola is very approachable, and Kevin Johnson will sign autographs all day. (And you people say his right hand ain't good for nothing).

              Nice to hear someone else besides me didn't hit it off with Tua, but I am surprised to hear that about Mesi. He doesn't come off that way on TV.

                    I met Mayweather a few times and I would definitely say that he comes across much better and diffeent than u might expect him to from seeing him on TV. I liked him. I also met Tyson more than once and know people who know him well and have been around him and EVERY indication I have is that he is REAL cool. I have a chapter in my book that explains in detail why and how James Toney is MUCH cooler and ingratiating in person than you might ever expect him to be from seeing or reading about him. Of guys I know that have a certain amount of recognition level to fans I would say Vinny Paz, Lawrence Clay-Bey and Mickey Ward immediately ome to mind as guys who are the type that you could walk up to them, talk to them, and come away with nothing negative whatsover to say about them
