[JUYJUY]

Marvin Hagler was probably the guy I got most excited about meeting, I met him circa 89 where Michael Watson trained in Hackney and he did an interview saying that Nigel Benn was the one to watch, Michael Watson told him to think again. So I also met Watson ofcourse. I've traded punches with Dean Francis, Glenn Catley, Howard Eastman, Neville Brown, Ryan Rhodes - all sparring. I trained alongside the likes of Jane Couch. I've met Benn, Lennox(*******), Naz(*******), spoke with Audley Harrison as amateurs in 98, Richie Woodhall(very nice guy), Jimmy McDonnell held focus mitts for me a few times, spoke with Carl Froch when we were due to meet at 99 ABA's(I got put out in the semi's thankfully). I met Mike McCallum twice(an honour), he visited my old gym when he came to defend his WBA Middle title against Michael Watson in 1990 and he again came to my old gym in 1995 when he defended his WBC Light-Heavy title on the Benn-McClellan undercard, The Body Snatcher gave me a few tips!

Add Frank Bruno to that list, met him at the same time I met Naz.

Have met Herbie Hyde (thick as ****!), Frank Bruno (thick as **** but hellavu nice guy!), Gary Mason (you guessed it.. thick as..) and most recently the great Sugar Ray Leonard (definately not thick as **** but a little spaced out!). Great honour to shake his hand though!

[AintGottaClue]

didnt bowe say herbie hide was the hardest puncher he fought, to bad he didnt have a chin i heard that guy could really crack

I met Felix Sturm!

Herbie had good hand speed for a Heavyweight, I watched him in his first ever amateur tournament (ABA's in I think it was 89) and for someone who had never competed before his hand speed and confidence impressed me, but he controversially lost to Henry Akinwande in the final and then turned pro straight after. Yeah, not a bad fighter Herbie in the 90's.
