    hoppas been boxing so little time, hes still in that period where he improves 25% every couple of months.

    he is now a 50% better fighter than he was when he won the oz title...

    you know what you get with cameron. you dont know which tua will turn up....but probably the lazy one. with hoppa, you know an improved fighter will turn up. and probably an even better conditioned fighter ......

    i dont think hoppa will ever be a world beater. .

    Hoppa would get destroyed by Cameron.
    Tua would kill him too, even with ring rust.

    Both fighters are in a vastly different class to Hoppa.

    Hoppa only beat Mirovic by the skin of his teeth and rough tactics.

    Cameron roughed up (fairly) and knocked Mirovic out cold with a broken hand.

    Yep Camerons effort against Mirovic with broken hand compared to Hoppsa's victory are not in the same league......... Cameron was streets ahead

    I'd agree with that, but as I said IMO he's been going backwards lately, against Ahunanya he was being trained by Garcia, who had him moving his head a bit, after Garcia left he went back to Lolo, and it looks to me that he's been blocking more and more punches with his face ever since. For a guy with paper skin he doesn't avoid nearly enough shots, and that plays into the one strength that Hoppa has - a decent punch.

    Either way I am loking forward to these fight..... first Cameron VS Tua.....I see a slugish Tua stop Cameron late rounds with a few flush shots....Cameron ahead on the score card when he goes down.

    The I see Hoppa VS Cameron as Tua will be off OS to fight some bigger names.

    Cameron will last the first few rounds and grind out a close points win as Hoppas work rate drops off.

    I'm Picking Tua KTFO Cameron inside 4.
    My reasoning is that the only person to beat Tua going toe to toe was Ike - Cameron is no Ike. And the others that beat Tua did it on the outside using speed and skill like Byrd or Lewis - Cameron is no Byrd or Lewis either.
    I know Tua's been away from the ring for awhile, and is bound to have a bit of rust, but I honestly cant see Cameron having the skills or jaw to hang with Tua for very long

    Tend to agree....however I think the ring rust will take 5 to 7 rounds to work through before he irons out Cameron

    Ha ha.....I can see the temptation.....I would love to see Mark/Bobby take on Hoppa if he gets the title...maybe enough for DKP to setup a fight.

    ...the way I see it, McCalls a fkn sook.

    Hoppa KO1.

    How often do we see a middle aged former H/W champ (poor at that) make a comeback for an Alphabet title, with serious intentions???

    Considering the cash McCall once earned, he'd struggle to take this fight seriously.

    Go Hoppa.
