Most famous fight that you're met

[Malius]

Vic Darchinyan was at my local watching a Manny fight but he was surrounded by some sketchy looking Russians, so just gave him the nod.

Met Anthony Mundine heaps of times when I worked at a bowling alley, was pretty layed definitely not like his public speaking performances.

I met Brian Magee in Spain last year, just said hello.

[New England]

Mine is Paulie Malignaggi back in 2006, this was the pre-Cotto Paulie and he was pretty much just a loud mouth that was untested. Nice guy he had a bunch of wannabe Italians in his entourage but Paulie legit knew the language when I spoke a few words to him.

Who's the most famous fighter you've ever met in person?

"wannabe italians?" they were probably real italians, dude.


"wannabe important people," perhaps.

met ricky hatton at the pub about 2 weeks after the mayweather fight. also met robin reid at the grosvenor casino near strangeways. he only bought in with 20 quid at the blackjack table!

[Mr. Philadel]

I thought I saw Cotto outside a starbucks here in L.A.

but then I realized it was just a little girl on one knee tying her shoe

can't front, that made me LMFAO!!!

I met Chris Byrd right after he got knocked out by Ike Ibeabuchi. Nice guy, really religious. He desperately wanted a rematch with Ike, saying:

"No matter what happens from here out, I'm going out swinging."

Just for kicks, I suggested the possibility of him fighting Roy Jones, who was looking to move up to heavyweight at that point. Bird refused to even comment on that possibility, and quickly changed the subject.

Still not sure why he was so uncomfortable with that topic. Guess I'll never know.
