Vargas and Morales..
Name popular fighters you've seen fight in person

Wrote for Ringside Report for a short while... met Lennox Lewis (along with the other HBO commentators at Taylor-Ouma). At the fight I also met Emanuel Augustus, Jermain and Ouma at the post-fight presser, Allen Green (but he was actually a ****... and you're asking for cool fighters), Terry Smith, Dominique Guinn, and Jaidon Codrington.
A show a partner and I put on in southeast Arkansas (which I also had to be last minute announcer for) brought Jermain Taylor and his trainer Ozell Nelson's nephew Jonathan Nelson down. Jonathan actually fought... hell of a guy with a lot of potential.
I never met in person, but I interviewed via phone Margarito, Jason Litzau, and Joshua Clottey.
Two non-fighters I met in person who were also notable ****s were Larry Merchant... and the biggest **** I've ever met in my life... goes to Lou DiBella... Cong**** Louis!Comment

Damn... I misread the post, I thought it was "met" in person... I honestly wasn't trying to be a show off... and I'm sure a ton of people on the board have met many more boxers than me... I've seen lots live and I'll leave it at that hahaComment

I think I read somewhere else you said you were a sports interviewer. You said you interviewed Clottey and he was making weird noises. Or something like? I don't remember what forum it was, but your name looks familiar.Comment

Actually, I wrote in my spare time for Ringside Report... thats far from being an interviewer... I didn't even get paid... but they did buy me press passes to the fights which are pretty expensive, so I didn't complain. I think Clottey does pretty good with English if he can see your lips... but for some reason he used a translator. So all I heard was Clottey in the background. He did make crazy noises though. He's really a nice guy though. Margarito is a good guy too, begins every statement with "Bueno...".Comment
