No, but I've met the son of one. I met George Foreman III at a hotel I used to work at. He definitely took after his father in terms of how tall and big he is. He was at the front desk complaining about room service or something. My father met George Foreman and Muhammad Ali and took pictures with them on an old polaroid camera. It was right around the time Foreman was making his comeback in the late 80's.

Originally posted by IronDanHamza View PostI've met a long list.
This year I've met Marco Antonio Barrera and Jake Lamotta.
I've also met Ricky Hatton, Nigel Benn and Steve Collins this year but I doubt any of those will be inducted into the HOF.

we fought at the grand opening of the HOF, the 1st amatuer show ever held there. I actually couldn't get a bout lined up but we made the trek regardless. I walked around there and lined my own fight but the guy was like 12-14lbs or so heavier. I wanted toi fight, but they wouldn't allow us to square up.
I walked around those grounds and it was incredible. You look over there and it's Kid Gavilan and Rocky Graziano laughing and enjoying time with a group of fans. Alex Arguello, Carmin Basillio and so many more just being so gracious and generous towards the fans. I just wish that I could remember all of the guys that I met there but I didn't want to bother them for autographs. I just remember having a blast that weekend. It really is simply an incredible experience for all admirers of the ring........Rockin'Last edited by Rockin'; 10-04-2012, 02:59 AM.
