    What notable pro boxers have you seen live?

    I saw Canelo in San Antonio against Trout. Terence Crawford vs Alejandro Sanabria in Dallas back when he was still a prospect. That was on the undercard of Mikey Garcia vs JuanMa, so obviously I saw Mikey as well. I saw Donaire versus Arce in Houston. If y'all recall, Rigondeaux was on the undercard but his fight got cancelled because the other dude tested HIV positive. So while I didn't see him fight live -- I amazingly by coincidence sat from him two tables away at the bar/restaurant that was in the arena. He was eating some nachos and I swear he must've gotten hit up for an autograph or a picture at least 25 times while he was eating. Maybe more, lol. I didn't even notice him there until I started to see all the people flock to him for photos. Oh yeah, and Omar Figueroa who was on the undercard of Canelo/Trout.

    How about you guys

              I'm jealous of Lara vs Trout and Paulie vs Zab although I had envisioned Zab winning that fight and might have been disappointed. Lol

                  I haven't been to a fight in 5 years so not many cats lately, but I've seen Leon Spinks, Michael Carbajal, Evander Holyfield (hanging out watching a fight), Alex Stewart, Andrew Golota in the Chicago area when I lived there. HW title challengers Fres Oquendo & Vaughn Bean won the Chicago Golden Gloves the same year as the first show I ever attended after winning tickets for knowing Jersey Joe Walcott's real name.

                  Saw Rigo in Vegas & one of my biggest boxing disappoints is not going to Vegas to see Corrales vs Castillo I which I knew was gonna be a good fight (not great I'm not Nostradumas) & Diego was one of my all time favorite fighters & I wish I could've added him to the list.

                  Growing up in Michigan I saw Floyd + Andre & Anthony Dirrell as amateurs. Seen Chris Byrd at shows (his dad Joe too, who's notable to me as a top MI trainer along with Kenny Lane who got many kids deep in the golden gloves & fought for the lightweight title when there was just 1 title & being champion meant something). Thats all I can recall off the top of my head.
