I stay in the gyms so I meet Alot of the boxers. Most are down to earth people.
The ones that are straight up Ass - holes ( IMO ) are Abner Mares , Terrance Crawford and Jorge Linares.

I have met quite a few boxers that would later become world champions when I younger. Met most of them in the amateurs or in the gym. I was still in my teens at the time and most I have never actually talked to but I remember seeing then at certain gyms or tournaments.

Rigondeaux (short and really thin), Lara, Charlos (tall and really thin/competed at 147 I believe), Prograis, Juan Diaz, and Donaire (really thin). I am sure there are more but I would have to actually take the time and go through everything to jog my memory.

I have met

Juan Diaz
Rocky Juarez
JMM
B-hop
Shane Mosley
DLH
Mayweather
Robert Guerrero
Katsidis
Jorge Barrios
Paul Malignaggi

They were all cool and down to earth. Paul is the only one that was kinda annoying.

Isn’t that just his voice?

I was walking down the street in Vegas after the Mayweather vs Cotto fight and Roy Jones was walking in the opposite direction with a woman. I regret the fact I didn't ask him for a photo but it looked like they'd been arguing.

[Chrismart]

Seen a few around or at press conferences etc. Ones i remember being particularly down to earth were Bellew, Katsidis and Khan.

I sat next to Evander Holyfield at the Georgia high school state track meet one year. His sone ran for a local school and we talked track a bit. Never mentioned boxing once. He was really cool.

Long long time ago I've met both Klitschkos in the dressing room. I and Wlad were fighting at the same regional championship as amateurs. Vit always supported his brother even during local events. At that time Vit was champion at kickboxing and big star in Ukraine but he had time for a small talk with me.

I’ve met quite a few and all were very nice guys.

Mike Tyson, Hopkins, Wepner, Cooney, Holmes, Teddy Atlas, McGirt, Gatti,Golota, McCline, Moorer, Evander, Oscar, Emile Griffith,Jimmy Archer, Lou Duva, Briggs,Mercer,Grant and quite a few more just can’t remember them all... most I’ve actually met at my old gym and some at dinners, functions or fights.

All were very nice and some I’ve spent a lot of time with at the gym and were great to hang and talk with and get pointers from.

[Pigeons]

No, I have no interest in meeting other men. I just like to watch them fight.
