    Coetzer is only legit in the mind’s of white guys in South Africa and boxing fans who rest their heads on George Foreman themed pillows.

    At the moment I'm not sure Dubois could beat Coetzer ,and I was at the Joyce fight.

    Tough as nails. Sadly he lacked firepower and the boxing manual that he was given was missing the chapter on how to slip a punch.

    He was Duhaupas level. Not really top ten material in today's rankings. I dont think he made it in an annual in his own time.

    After a cursory look at the rankings, he's solidly in the top 10

    look at the top 10. again.
    boxers with 14 fight & not big name wins in the top 10.
    or 1 fight per year boxers
    Joe Parker struggle fighting Junior Fa only 18 month past. then wins only with Chisora 2 time * first time close . . Parker rate 4 now!
    Junior Fa smashed by Lucas Browne. LOL
    Ruiz 1 fight in almost 2 year with Areola.
    this is low standard.

    Coetzer going to Bowe fight is 17-0 in past 4 year. nothing special opponents . no killer
    but some gatekeeper journeyman . example Ocasio, Ribalta, Everett Martin, James Pritchard, johnny Duplooy/
    not special
    but this days the heavyweight do not fight any fight
    to get rated all need is 1 win a year maybe fringe gatekeeper contender . or less.

    We'll have to wait until boxrec fixes itself. I'm pretty sure the only guy who Foreman beat back then who had recently made an annual was Rodrigues.

    In other words, dog****. They were all shot or nobodies except for Duploy, who was top 20 material. Lol at even comparing him to champions like Parker and Ruiz. It's absurd.

    who has Hrgovic defeat?
    who has Joyce defeat?
    nobodies and shot and maybe "top 20 material" Dubois.
    Junior Fa is dog**** and Chisora is only little better and shot. but Parker is number 4? LOL
    Ruiz still rated off a win from 3 years past? LOL
    this is joke way to get rated. no fight. no win.
    Parker as "champion" struggle with Cojanu & Hughie Fury. now 5 years ago! Haha

    this is only the fact.
