I was going to say that you must have been good yourself to box him 4 times, he was a hard hitter and solid even as a junior.

Once spoke to John Conteh, Ross Minter, Lloyd Honeyghan and Johnny Greaves at the same show. Lloyd didn't seem totally with it, but they all came across as decent chaps. Some of Minter's mates looked like they had the potential to be a bit lairy though!

Johnny Nelson at the Froch v Rybaycki/Witter v Bradley fight in Nottingham. Was a super nice guy and stopped and chatted to me for a good 20 mins.

John Conti at the York Hall show involving McDermott v Olubamiwu. Again a really nice guy.

He gets a real slagging on here at times but I've also met Buncey twice and he's also a really nice guy who was good fun to chat to.
Love the spelling mate. Never knew that Liverpool's finest was Italian!

Sorry to hear that. Did you beat Smith and was he a hard puncher then?

No probs these things happen. 2-2 each, all close fought contests. he developed his power in the seniors so he wasnt really a puncher then. he was technically very good. :TU:

I've met a few boxers over the years, all of them seemed nice/approachable enough but Haye seemed a bit pissy pants both times. I know others on here have met him and said the opposite so he must have been on his period both times. Most of them had the time to chat, you always see them at the boxing.

I think some of the "nicest" were McGuigan, Woods, Greaves, Dunstan & JonJo Irwin.
