hoppa vs cameron 18th march melbourne

well said.

 

Come on mate....fighting Wilson, Kirby....next Cronje...thats about as good as it gets local level apart from Alex

 

Shane did break his hand in the first round in that fight.
Shane is a few levels above both Bob and Hoppa.

 

Fair enough, don't agree though.
Hoppa needs to still fight at his own level for a while IMO.
Personally I don't think he'll ever be at Camerons level.

 

for a while? he's been around for about 5 years & is well past 30 (both guesses)

 

Pirra, who's the bloke in you avatar?? Paul Smallman?? I could be wrong... Umm.. I usually am.

 

Agree 1000% :deal

 

I think Hoppa has proved he aint taking his boxing career lightly..The guy has fought the who's who of the domestic scene.

His record should definetly show even the biggest critic that he aint in the game to make easy pay cheques beating up duds.He has copped some floggings..

 

2 decent fights in how many??

Whats Sol's record??

 

You're a hard man to please. You complain about how Aussie fighters fight complete stiffs and how others don't step it up (and rightly so too) yet now claim that Hoppa (at 34 years old) should baby step his way up the rankings instead.

If you were to say the same about Kickett when he went to the US, I'd agree, but Hoppa doesnt have time on his side and I don't blame him if he takes his opportunities now rather than when he's 40.

 

I should have elaborated.. Hoppa has no future at realistic TOP CLASS match ups. Fighting men of his own calibre is more appropriate . (My reason for agreeing) Bottom line.

No, he will not be at Camerons level..... ever. A confidence booster for Cameron will be the outcome of this bout.

Pecks... Im not here to be pleased mate. :good

 

You have to respect Hopoate for this. He is certainly not afraid to test himself. :good

 

Ability should be irrelevant.

Imagine if Rocky turned down Apollo Creed's challenge. Good luck making 5 sequels with Spider Ricco being the villain. :-(

 

Agree with this. It's good that Hoppa has the balls to want to fight the better fighters out there but it's no good to be getting blasted out like he did with McCall. Hoppa should stay on the Aussie heavyweight scene where he has done well and earn his living there.
