WA contender is that Western Australia heavyweight contender ? ASk Don King if you can fight someone with 2 arms!
also...looking at that photo.. what should the caption read? "hell, man! whats dat smell? here, look its from under yo arm!!! man, the least you couldah done is hab a shower after flying all dat far!!!!!" .
still hating i see. i may be different to u, but i support aussie boxers who show potential. you can't wait to go out of your way to promote your hate for this guy. i don't know why anybody would do that tbh. i guess it makes u feel better somehow. seriously get over it. the guy doesn't owe u anything.
Buster Mark knows himself he has fought nobody ! Its good getting a photo with Don King its another thing fighting decent fighters! If he had a crack i would be the first to congratulate him he is only foolin himself with all the provardo of being a heavyweight protender.
mark is yet to fight anybody of note, but i have not heard him say he has. he has signed a five year contract to test himself to see if he has what is needed. surely that shows u that he has intention of fighting whoever is necessary to achieve his goal. as far as bravado is concerned, that is how the show works with don king and heavies.
oh come on......... dont let this thread die!!!!!! we know mark is the best heavy in oz and has never dodged any challengers!! im sure don has been made aware of this fact....:rofl:rofl
give it up for the keyboard champs in here, this place is like kindergarden. The guy is having a dig, more than some in here can say for themselves. World champ, probably not but he's about a zillion times closer than people like sallywinder and co. I expect the usual "I can say what I want" forum dribble but hey its the truth, he is someone you are nothing
Just to say I posted here 50 times before I got bored with you children, go **** yourself keyboard losers, see you at the fights, oh I forgot you little kids cant get into pubs yet, so when your balls sprout whiskers I will buy you a beer. time for your nap now kiddies
dig at who ****? he has fought no one lately!!!!! alex leapai has been screaming for this pumped up pretender and all the demori camp does is show yellow. with leon as the lead dog. fight the best!!!!!:rofl he isnt game to fight aussie fighters!!!!!!!!:deal
More of a dig than you princess, thats all that needs to be said. You think he's yellow, get in the ring with him yourself, nah its easier to hit a keyboard than a person hey rectum burn
he isn't obliged to fight leapai. so i wish people would stop making it out that de mori owes it to leapai to fight him. if leapai wants it so bad then show some decent figures to mark or pipe down with the rants about it. its getting old fast. the same could be said for leapai only recently. if he is so good, then go over to where the contenders r and fight one of them (no not a street fight sally, don't get too excited). demori would have no trouble with any aussie fighters except meehan, haumono, cronje and leapai. i haven't got the faintest who i'd put my money in them except meehan and haumono.
