Ive tweeted to BJS and Eubank Jr but never had any replies. I have only ever had replies from the singer, Paul Potts and the jockey Jason Hart.
How about you guys?

I've had tweets off Dave coldwell eddie hearn ste smith troy james derry matthews curtis woodhouse ( met him at a show nice bloke had a great chat with him) josh warrington frankie gavin martin gethin. Steve wood. Steve goodwin ( last 2 promoters) twitter is a great way to interact with the boxers managers and boxing fans. Also speak a few lower level fighters who r working their way up. Jon pegg is a top bloke and his lads hav a right laugh between themselves on their all good banter. Also a pr guy. Dan mole at uko boxing is doing some great work alongside midlands promoter errol johnson to advetise up and coming shows. @ukoboxing worth a follow

I got this one after i said to Khan that he was out of order calling for Robert McCracken to be sacked ahead of London 2012 in The Sun, after his brother, whom couldn't box his way out of qualifiers, lost his spot to the then-Euro champion Kal Yafai :-

Had a bit of interaction from Deontay Wilder, who later followed me.
Audley blocked me, I criticised him when he was trying to get the Ali Adams fight for the British title.

Ive had a few, Crolla was having a chat with me before his fight with Limond.
Brian Rose too, he was spot on. Darren Barker had a couple of tweets back and forward and followed me. That Logan McGuinness was chatting to me one day aswell because i mentioned that I share a surname with him. Lol.
There has been more than that but the best one was Sugar Ray Leonard! Think I was lucky enough to have caught him when he was just new to twitter and told him i enjoyed his book. He followed me and had a convo by PM's talkin bout his book and his take on a Mayweather v Pacquiao fight. He still follows me now im sure.

Not a twitter person myself, but my friend once (very intoxicated - he's a good lad) wrote to Tony Bellew saying he's "shit" and that my other friend (who did one of those @'s too) would take him.
I found it hilarious given my other friend probably doesn't know who Bomber Bellew is and wouldn't hurt a fly.... not exactly the most intimidating of fella's to look at.
Think this was when Bellew vs Clev was starting to build up - long before the fight that never was etc.
Don't think Tony replied but hope he saw the funny side of it, I'm sure he could sense there was copious amounts of alcohol involved.

Got retweeted by Robert Guerrero when I mentioned him in a tweet to my mate about going to watch a fight.
Also, Holyfield 'liked' one of my Instagram photos from work. Didn't expect that on my phone screen when I woke up over Xmas.

I gave Derry Matthews some stick on twitter, it was a bit of banter going both ways and when he came up to Scotland to train someone took him to my door. lol
I was on holiday at the time so they added pictures on twitter of him looking in my window etc and saying that I sh@t it from him and fled the country.
It was all a joke right enough...... I think.
If it wasn't then he done a 'Curtis Woodhouse' before Curtis Woodhouse did!

Nearly forgot about one.
Martin Rogan was talking about making a comeback two years ago, and I asked him whether or not he would want/need a tune-up fight first.
Tweeted me back asking me to call him! I quickly replied to tell him that I wasn't offering to fight him personally!
