2. Cotto - I saw him train at the Bairoa Gym but I was not able to talk to him..

3. Floyd - I saw him last year at the annual Hip-Hop convention in San Juan, they guy had like 6 big ass bodyguards and they were all smokin blunts and **** (except Floyd, I didn't see him smoke ****)...They guy look like a cool guy, but the bodyguards didn't let no one near him...

4. Ivan Calderon - Saw him at the Corley-Cotto fight...

That's bout it...

Have you met any fighter?...

Oh�I also met John John Molina at the Cotto-Corley fight And Daniel Santos on one of those rave parties�

I met Tommy Hearns in the Detroit Metro Airport and I got my haircut next to James Toney on a couple of occasions in a barbershop in Ann Arbor. Both were very nice to me.

Everyone I have met has been at a fight card except a couple...

Vassily Jirov-saw him at a public workout in Reno he was talking about Juan Carlos Gomez and James Toney as next opponets...he chose poorly

MAB, got a picture but no words

Manny Steward-has a good discussion about Gerald McClellan and Rahman v. Lewis 2

Larry Merchant-in a vegas elevator...he told me LL was ducking Wlad Klitchko

Greg Haugen-he has the biggest hands for such a little ****er-i told him when he entered Azteca Stadium in Mexico coming into Born in the USA was awesome...I also told that if he would have beaten Chavez he never would have gotten out alive and he agreed..

Tim Whitherspoon, he is a cool dude

George Foreman-an HBO card I got to speak with him for10-15 seconds..he is like a politician you cant get a real answer out of him

Antonio Tarver-he was at Jones vs. Woods...I asked him when he was going to fight Roy and he said what do you think I am here for?

Boone Kirkman-he grew up in my hometwon and fought Ellis and Foreman, he was a big deal in Renton, Washington.

Oscar...got a pic with him and it cost me $20 bucks just to get by a body guard-he wanted to get it over with so he could sit down and watch Fernando Montiel

Floyd Mayweather Sr.-at the regent in Las Vegas about 35-40 miles off the strip...I spoke with him for at least 30 minutes about everything...he and Floyd had just split and that guy is by far the ****iest mother ****er I have ever met.

He said FLoyd Jr. was going to get beat and he was going to train Morales very soon...I told him that Morales will not work well with your training style, I said Erik has decent speed but compared to Floyd Jr. they werent comparable...Floyd Sr. in his baby blue powder suit then grabbed my fiend Greg and pulled him very close and then Floyd Sr. fired off about 40 ****ing punches right next to my friends face...he was bobbing and weaving and firing shots right next to my friends face...after he finished he said "ya see, its not about speed, its about timing."

I said that looked pretty ****ing fast too me...he could have killed me and my friend with his hands right there...what a son of a ***** though...he talked real bad about his son almost the enitre time.

hmm

They guy look like a cool guy, but the bodyguards didn't let no one near him...

lol...and Floyd wonders why people don't like him...idiot.

I met Ezra Sellers a couple times. He used to spar with one of my trainers and he sometimes used our gym to train in. He used to be a very good cruiserweight, but now he's retired due to aging. Just small chit-chat between him and I.

I met Roy Jones at KFC within 15 mins of my house. We both live kind of out in the country part of Pensacola. I was very shaky and nervous and I told him he was the reason I started fighting and I told him who my uncle was (he kows my uncle, who is a pro ref and former amateur fighter with a 350-9 record...also my trainer). I also kinda shook Roy's fingers, lol...it was awkward cuz he had keys in his hand, also he was talking to someone named Mike on some wired earpeice gadgetry in his ear.

Met Wayne Nettles recently (kinda, he trains in our current gym). He's making a comeback, and he is super punchy and it is very sad that some evil promoter is taking advantage of him to make a name for one of his fighters. Nettles is 33 and more punchy than my 47 yr old uncle.

Was around Roy Sr. at one of my amateur fights before...he's a fat slob and fixed a fight one time, it was obvious to me...one of those situations where the scorecards take an extra long time to get announced. Roy Jr. is a class act but Sr. is a slob of a man. He looks like Jabba the Hut.

I met Mike Tyson in a gym in Philadelphia once.

He gave me some pointers and watched me hit the heavy bag for a while. He's a pretty cool guy.

Yeah, i once met him in Starbucks as well.

We had a coffee, then went to Wrestlemania because he had a spare ticket going.

He's a pretty cool guy.
