hey Pisa, You need to read this thread again buddy, you said sponsors should be backing Edwards instead of Hoppa and I have stated why that is not viable for the sponsors. I am not a Hoppa fan just boxing fan, if Ben Edwards wants a shot at the Australian Heavyweight Title he needs to win more than 1 boxing fight and get rated in the top 10. And as far as sponsors go it takes a lot of hard work to get them and it is a give and take scenario, they don't just fall out of trees. Maybe he should spend less time in the pub and more time training and marketing himself to get backing:thumbsup
Are you serious? A man renowned the world over for one of the foulest sporting offences and you reckon he is more appealing to a sponsor. :rofl A man who loses badly to what you call part time boxers is more appealing to a sponsor. :rofl Just like your avatar your a ****in clown!
this is more like it boys.i was getting sick of the mundine hating threads .lets start on the arse fingerer Hoppa. Ben' bangin 'Edwards KO Hoppa in 1....again.
are youse all fcken serious? hoppa is doing his best and auss tittle is the best hil get luckily he fought an older unfit miro 222222nd who the **** cares about a kick boxer i heard kirby punched crap out of him in sparring leading up to his mason fight, oh thats wright mason the next world champ. watched the hoppa and edw fight hoppa stupid to put your head down and swung for the best b/e caught him with a wild punch . how the **** does that give the bloke credibillity youse are kidding that it is even a debate wake up
Your a bit hard to understand mate, if youd like to have another dip at it - id be interested in what you have to say.. I dont know a lot about Ben Edwards - other than he is a former kickboxer with a hard punch, does anyone know his kickboxing record? Also, does anyone think if he trained - that he could make it? Or can anyone tell me any other potential heavyweights coming up in the rank? When you say Mason - you dont mean Willys younger brother Les? No Wonder there is pressure on Barry Hall to pull the gloves on..
Logic - use it. Hoppa is HW champ and should clean up his losses to Fitzgerald and Edwards rather than sitting on the shelf waiting for Mirovic to get just older ( no disrespect to Bob, he's had a long stellar career). Ideal start to show us how Hoppa has improved and how he is going to be a force on the scene. If not these blokes then who? Come up with a credible name other than Bob and I would agree most likely.
The fact of the matter is, that Edwards would need to get ranked to get a shot at Hopoate's crown and he needs fights to do that. Apart from all that, the last I heard, he was in the clink. Is that not the case now?
No he is not in and why does it have to be for the belt? Perhaps both would be interested in a non title match? If Edwards won what would that do for getting him ranked? If Hoppa won what would that do to display his improvement to all concerned?
Basically because John now has the Australian title and his last fight is on Pay Per View. He's not going to fight Ben for less money, which is what he'd be doing by not defending his belt. Edwards needs to go and get himself some wins and force himself on Hoppa. Make the public, or at least the Australian fight public, call for it.
