    After a great performance against Campbell I haven't heard anything else about him. I think a lot of guys will duck him because of his size and style.

    Since he is from South frica it's pretty hard to hear anything new till he signs for a new fight.
    It's not like he throws the first pitch to the Dodgers or eats at McDonald's for the paparazzi.

    when he came to america to take that fight he didnt get it approved from the african boxing committee or something like that so supposedly he was in big trouble for leaving without permission and that situation was being ironed out..... but that was talked about around a week after teh fight was over so im sure by now anything can be going on with him

    Clottey lives in the Bronx.
    Funeka lives in South Africa.

    Not the same guy. But Funeka and Moses have negotiated for a fight before, so there's a possibility I guess. Not sure why Moses would want to fight someone like Funeka though. He'd be much better off continuing to fight out of Asia, where the lightweight crop is weaker at the moment. Moses really isn't that good.

    African athlestes are also known to be in the best shapes ever.
    The Ngoudjo guy used to run marathons.

    What the hell is this phenomenon where good non-American fighters put on great performances in losing efforts for an American audience, then end up on global milk cartons?

    Calling Kessler, Sturm, and now Funeka...
