January 08, 2009

RUGBY league star turned boxer John Hopoate is scheduled to fight three times in America this year, with the aim of securing a regional title bout and a world ranking. :lol:

When did he become a boxer ?

over a year ago . aussie heavyweight champ now :lol:

winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11

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?

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.

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
