That's the equivalent of being Albanian dwarf wrestling champion, and about as worthwhile a title on the world stage. |

1 - I'm not Australian 2 - I'm not a professional boxer therefore am unlikely to get a licence Kinda prevents me from fighting for the Australian heavyweight championship, but don't let facts get in the way. Which Top 10 rated heavyweight did Hopoate beat to win this prestigious belt? |

Which Top 10 rated heavyweight did Hopoate beat to win this prestigious belt? I get it, you're number 3 in their rankings aren't you? Oh, and as for that list Fredie's just put up, whose rankings are those? Given that David Haye is in the frame to fight one of the Klitschko brothers next year, it does seem somewhat odd that he's not even in the top 15. |

For what it's worth there are 13 Northern hemisphere blokes on the list too

Hoppa is absouloutly awful. It shows how bad the heavyweight division is when Rahman is still ranked in the top 5. |

It's an absolute joke! We need a good champions, a people's champion! Haye will be the best for that.. some love him, some hate him. Atleast he's a character |
