    although it doesn't appear as though he will be fighting any time soon, i was wondering whether he is still training or not? or has he officially stopped boxing?
    i know he is limited, i thought he'd have something to offer given his power.

    I know he has signed with Toukley Hawks rugby league team on Central Coast for 2011 so not sure where this puts his boxing career...

    He can still make some cash from boxing on the Aussie heavyweight merry go round i would think even if he does it as a part time thing.

    Would he earn any money playing rugby league for the Toukley Hawks rugby league team ?

    At least Joppa tested himself a little, & there's nothing wrong with that.

    Props to Hoppa, he was limited but did have a crack, at least he got a semi half decent fight in the states against a former champ who was impossible to knock out.......... More than Bumdine did in the states :hey

    it is ironic that hoppa who has always maintained he is limited but is willing to learn as much as he can, fights oliver mccall who was a proper world champ and able to ko lennox lewis, yet mundine who professes to be the most supreme athlete and the only fighter who can beat floyd mayweather chooses to avoid every possible fighter who has above average ability.

    the main thing with hoppa was that he came to the ring looking for the big ko. not trying to jab to a an uneventful decision win.

    With Johnny Lewis then talking up the winner Barry Hall as a genuine threat to the Klitschko brothers.

    considering the klits recent or current opponents who knows these days? lol

    i would have preferred hoppa fought haye the other day instead of that goofy bloke. at least hoppa would have gone for the ko.

    wouldn't it be good to see one of the klits next opponents just go nuts for the first 2 rounds and at least say they had a dig. i just cannot fork over money to watch them atm. and it has been a very long time since i've watched them. i suppose its not their fault. they r beating everybody.
