He and Nathan Long from Saints were both very similar - would just run the ball up into the opposition defence in a very upright position with no regard for the safety of their heads - neither of them had a "step"

If GI was able to integrate his elusiveness into boxing, and proved to have somewhat of a study chin, he may go alright, but again, I've never seen him throw a punch etc

He got knocked out by Trent Barrett! I literally thought it was damn near impossible to knock an Aboriginal out, Trent proved me wrong...

So Trent Barret KO2 Rocky Marciano.
