    Pacific islanders fight each other all the time. this argument doesn't stand up.
    However, if Hoppa and Sol have the same trainer or promotion company, i can understand them not fighting.

    This is why Marc Bargero and Danny Green never had a fight.

    Bargero would have struggled to last the rounds with Greeny prob KO close to mid rounds or slightly sooner. Bargero was a decent spoiler at times.
    Would last def more than 2 secs.:deal

    you missed the point. i was refering to the fact that they could never fight because they were part of the same team.
    This is why Danny never got an Australian title fight

    Yeah i was not doubting your point Barge.
    More just telling that guy that loves Danny Green that the fight would last more than 2 secs.

    Did Sol and Hoppa both played for manly? at the same time?

    not relevant here.
    boxing is a different business.
    De Lisle and Green were mates and they had 2 fights. being mates is no excuse not to fight. the only reason not to fight is if they have the same trainer/promotion team.

    That they did.

    I can understand brothers not wanting to fight, I could never fight my brother.

    I'd fight mine for free. Actually, I'd probably put up some money for the oppurtunity.
    I reckon he would too. We could get my mum to ref cos she'd stop it if I got hit cos I'm the youngest and I could convince her to dq him with my puppy dog eyes.

    I saw this quote from Hoppa in my local rag on the weekend. Interesting that it hasn't been bandied about like all the 'brotherly love' crap the other publications have gone overboard with.

    Hoppa knows Solo would stop him.

    "“We are brothers and have a pact never to fight each other besides he’s way too good,” Hoppa said."
