        Ronald "Winky" Wright, Mike Tyson, Fernando Vargas, Michael Carbajal, Julio Cesar Chavez... That's it.

        I really wanted to meet DLH when he fought here against the "Pink Panther" back in the day, but that didn't happen.

        Met Winky and Vargas at SSM/Fernando Vargas 1. I knew a few of Vargas' fam, sorta, then met the whole family that night.
        Met Iron Mike when he was training here in AZ in 2000-ish, I remember him knocking the hell out of his partner who was about 6-4 then coming over and putting out his hand as polite as can be and saying, "Hey there, I'm Mike".
        Michael Carbajal is from AZ and was a gangster on the Easts*de, I met him at a few of his fights when I was about 10.
        I met JCC the night of the Tzyou (however you spell it) massacre. Just a handshake and a smile.

        I believe DLH was fighting that guy for a tune up for a huge fight, I forgot against whom though. Either way, I still didn't meet him.

              Zab Judah, Shannon Briggs, Junior Witter, John H stracey, John Mugabi (he hugged me), Iran Barkley, Vitali Klitschko, Bonecrusher smith, Juan Laporte - at the WBC night of champions in Cardiff - a stranger gave me a free ticket to the GB vs the World amateur boxing event, which I was hanging around outside of hoping to meet a few boxers.

              Got their autographs and a bit of small talk about upcoming fights, etc.

              Enzo Maccarinelli and Roy Jones jr - at the promotion thing in Cardiff for the Jones v Calzaghe fight.

                Met quite a few

                Floyd Mayweather, Shane Mosley, Oscar De La Hoya, Iron Mike, Paulie Malignaggi, Gerry Cooney, Gamboa, Glen Johnson, Macho Camacho, and I know its much more I can't think of.

                Paulie to me was the coolest and really appreciates his fans

                Next comes Floyd and Glen Johnson

                Gamboa seemed cool but doesn't speak a lick of English lol.
