Sugar Ray Leonard - same trip to Vegas, he was in the hotel. Would clearly much rather have been talking to the blonde lady than getting a photo with me!

Roberto Duran - I was in Vegas as press for the Tyson - McNeeley fight, and by chance Roberto Duran had the seat next to me. Lovely guy - didn't have much if any English, but keen to try to communicate as best he could.

Thomas Hearns - I was friendly with the organiser of a sports dinner he was starring at, so I got to collect him and Emmanuel Stewart from the hotel they were staying at and take them to the venue. They were in the back of my car chatting for half an hour.

Without doubt, Hagler was one of the very best. Middleweight boxing has never hit those heights since. Over the years I've met a lot of boxers. I have pictures meeting Hearns and Leonard as well, but this is one with Marvelous.
