I met Floyd Mayweather Jr., I was angry for the fact he was throwing money out in a crowd and I grabbed like 200 bucks and it turned out to be fake money.

Really? thats too ***** funny. where was this?

I saw Manny Pacquiao once when he was training for the Barrera fight. They were jogging early in the morning near our office.

I've met a lot of boxers in my life. Among them are:

George Foreman
Vitali Klitschko
Floyd Mayweather Jr (very cool)
Panchito Bojado
Jerry Quarry
David Tua (not friendly)
John Ruiz
Shane Mosley
Danny "Little Red" Lopez

I've also talked to Lampley and Merchant. Lampley was smug while Merchant was super nice.

Muhammad Ali twice...once in LAX and another in the old Denver Airport. Excellent experience and the second time I saw him I felt like he remembered me. This happened during the 80's both times.

Ken Norton in the 80's at the LA Forum Coliseum...the same night I met and spoke with Mike Weaver after he lost his title to Michael Dokes by KO. This was an awesome night for me as a little kid.

Tommy 'Hitman' Hearns at his after party in Las Vegas for the Tyson vs. Botha fight. It was nice because I got to spend quite a bit of time with him talking about the fight game. The same night I saw Tyson but didn't get a chance to speak with him.

Diego Corrales before his rematch with Juan Manuel Castillo at Ceasars Palace. He was a true champ and spoke with me like we had been friends forever. I really miss that guy.

Terry Norris in 1998/99 this was really sad because he was stumbling over his feet and he was clearly punch drunk when I spoke with him. It was good to later find out that he won his lawsuit against Don King.

Eddie Mustafa Muhammad in 2004...another guy who spoke with me like we knew each other for years.

Floyd Mayweather in 1998 at a club in Las Vegas. At the time he was an upcoming lightweight champ. He was very ****y and ready to fight. In fact, I use to see Floyd at this same club a lot and he began to recognize me and was a little more friendlier but a little too ****y for me to hang out with.

Not a big name, but I almost got obliterated by Mike Tyson's half brother Cliff Couser. I was in a bad mood and he was in my way so we got into a bit of an argument and me not knowing that he was a boxer, I was about to get down with him. I know that he wasn't scared of me, but when he saw that I was serious he intelligently changed the mood by asking me my name. We exchanged numbers and he introduced me to Eddie Mustafa Muhammad and invited me to train with him. There are a lot more details but it is truly a funny story of mine.

Lamon Brewster outside of the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas. This was very strange because I was walking back to my car and I saw Brewster profusely sweating talking to himself while he was ripping up papers in anger. All of the contents of his wallet were thrown all around him and he was very angrily looking for something. I noticed him and walked over to him and he quickly gained his composer. He was a very nice guy and very well spoke despite the unknown circumstances. He gave me his number and told me to call him anytime. He even invited me to his gym to train.

Fernando Vargus...very drunk and it was the same night he got those **** charges in Las Vegas.

Winky Wright at the Belagio Hotel in Las Vegas. He was a pretty cool dude but a little cautious.

There are several other smaller name guys that I have met as well. To name a few:

Johnny McClain (Laila Ali's ex-husband)
Audley Harrison
Jose Castilla
Chuck Liddell...a big name but MMA...this was a really funny story.
Kevin Lacy who is Jeff Lacy's cousin
Duey Cooper another MMA guy...a cool dude and I used to see him a lot.
Kemo another MMA guy...a pretty down to earth guy
