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.
