Greatest Polynesian Boxers of All Time

Seeing as some posters on here believe the future of the Heavyweight division and Rugby League lies with Polynesian athletes I thought it would be interesting to see who you would rate as the 3 greatest Ploynesuan boxers and why.

I'll kick it off;

1. David Tua, wreaked havoc through the fringe contenders in the Heavyweight division and fought for a legitimate world title against the top Heavy at the time.

2. Maselino Masoe, fought in two Olympic Games and won the WBA middleweight title.

3. Paea Wolfgramm, won Olympic silver medal and fought some good opposition as a pro (Klitschko, Sanders, Gonzalez)

 

Nice List Colman.:good

 

first, this may be of interest...

and now they have opportunity.

a world heavy title will come within 10 years.

 

I rate jimmy thunder over wolfgram.

Big don't equal being good my friend

 

could chuck in kali Meehan - only for the Brewster fight id say

 

Shut up TC :rofl

 

Herbert Slade fought John L Sullivan for the Heavyweight Championship of the World.

Probably need the input of some Kiwi posters though as they would have more knowledge on this subject.

 

Not such a great list.

 

Shhhhhh CHB/IrnBru will start another investigation

 

The kinda guys i'd imagine would chase their own shadows

Agreed. Wolfie won the head to head battle but Jimmy was one tough customer.
