    Lennox Lewis is a bit of a cunt. I've met him too and he's a bit standoffish.

    Equally impressive.

    So what's your story? How have you been able to meet so many fighters?

    Meeting as in a brief meeting to shake hands, take a selfie and autograph or meeting as to have a lengthy conversation? For meet & greet only, I have a long list, but to have a long conversation, like FreeIke used to say, it is pointless to listen to most boxers as they are not that smart. I can only think of only one boxer I would love to talk at length and that is Juan Manuel Marquez as the guy is educated, intelligent and never says stupid things.

    so he is standoffish "and" a cunt? or are you saying that because he is standoffish, he is a cunt?

    You come across like a petulant, sulky six year old with their fingers in their ears. "Boxers are nasty, wah wah wah wah waaaaaah" Despite first-hand accouts to the contrary.

    It's as if you've been suckerpunched by a straw weight and never got over it.

    Everybody has already mentioned the obvious ones I'd love to meet (Tyson, Ali, Jones...ect).

    So, I'll name one that has yet to mentioned:

    Qawi. I would LOVE to have a nice, long convo with the Camden Buzzsaw. If you watch recent interviews of him, he comes across as an EXTREMELY humble, down-to-earth guy.

    I'd rather spend 5 minutes talking to Qawi than spend 5 hours talking to that illiterate, stuttering, stripper lover.

    Please you and I both know that if you had a choice between meeting Mayweather for a 5 hour conversation and Qawi, you'd pick Mayweather every day of the week and twice on Sundays. We all would.

    Two reasons:

    1. He's an all time great
    2. There a chance the may give you some money. lol

    I assure you that you're wrong.

    I could name a SHIT TON of fighters than I'd rather meet and speak with than Floyd.

    It's offensive that you speak of Qawi as if he was some palooka. He's a HOFmer, and a light heavyweight great.

    Braxton is a short fat Frazier-light and probably has no money.

    You've become nothing more than a mainstream fan. You dick ride bums like Canelo, and shit on a great fighter like Qawi.

    WHAT Boxers have You Met, Specifically, & WHAT were your Experiences w/Them???...

    REED's Been Dealing Pretty CLOSELY w/Boxers for 10-15 YEARS Now & ONLY Lennox Lewis was the Least Bit "Rude"...& It Wasn't Even that Lennox was Rude, he Just Wasn't Accommodating...

    @ NO Point has REED Felt Threatened or Uneasy in the Presence of a Boxer...EVER...

    So If You Would, PLEASE ELABORATE On What's Lead to This Position You're Taking???...

    Having a conversation with Floyd Mayweather would be like pulling teeth. The dude can never give a straight answer.

    It was VERY Brief...

    Roy was Commentating the Mikey Garcia-JuanMa Lopez Fight (REED Met Terrance Crawford, who Fought on the Undercard, the Same Night)...1nce the Fight Ended, HBO's Staff was QUICKLY Packing Shit Up...The Ring, the Barricades Surrounding the Ring, the Television Equipment, EVERYTHING...

    The Commentators were in a Hurry, yet there was about 20-30 People Trying to Get Pics and Autographs of Roy...He Accommodated as Many as he Could, then Turned Away, Leaving Some Fans Hanging...

    Mind You, REED had Never EVER Seen Roy Jones in Person, Until this Particular Day & Dude was LITERALLY 10ft in Front of REED, Packing Up his Belongings, Getting Ready to Go (IGNORING the Pleas of Others, @ this Point)...Media Members AREN'T Supposed to Bug Fighters/Commentators for Pics/Autographs, but REED Simply COULDN'T Resist @ Least Trying...

    REED Doesn't Know if he's EVER Been Quite THAT Star Struck, yet Played it Cool & Said "Roy, Hey Roy" a Couple Times...No Response...Then, REED Went Into Full GROUPIE Mode and Yelled "RRRRRRRRRR- JAY!!!...Ya'll Musta 4-Got, Baby!!!"...Wasn't Planned or Anything, it just Came Out...Anyways, Roy Looked Right Over @ REED, Laughing, Gave a Thumbs Up, a Fist or Something & REED Said "Let me Take a Quick Pic, Champ"...

    So Roy Held his Pose Looooooooooooong Enough for REED To Get the Pic Snapped, He Winked his Eye, Said "Ya'll Musta 4-Got" & Went On his Merry Way...EPIC Ass Moment!!!...REED Literally Would have CRIED if Roy Jones had Walked Off w/Out Posing or Something...

    REED Still Wants to Get a Pic WITH Roy 1 Day, but That Can Wait Until his Hall of Fame Induction in Canastota (if the Fucker Ever Stays RETIRED Looooooooooooong Enough)....

    Great Day...REED Felt Very Much like a CHILD, in a GOOD Way...

    Cool story.

    Funny thing...I'm never star struck, no matter who I meet. Only person that would probably have me like that is Obama.
