    Does anyone know what happened to him? When i watch his fights the commentators always talk about how hard his life has been and how much crap he's been through.
    The only story i heard about the bulli blaster is that he was a stand over man for a biker gang and he once got into a pub fight with 7 guys and all 7 had to go to hospital after the fight.

    Does anyone know of any ''out of the boxing ring'' stories about him?

    It would make for some damned interesting reading one in a million - he's lived 3 lives in his time on the planet, interestingly we were both born on the same day! Want to see things turn around for the bloke, he's had a lot of bad press but deep down he is a good guy

    Know people who have lived harder lifes then that bloke and done so with a lot more class.

    Though i wouldnt mind reading his story,I bag him alot though i will give him props for having the guts to step in the ring for such along time and giving his all.

    Kind of felt sorry for the bloke when i was at the MMA event lastweek and he got brought into the ring to talk about possible fights.No1 was really listening nor giving him any respect.Kind of sucks how a bloke that fought for a few world titles is desperately trying to chase possible paydays with the mouth mundine as probably his last chance at breaking even in the cash department.

    I think i might be alittle less negetive towards the bloke.lol

    A fool or taken for ride by people he thought he could trust or maybe someone taking advantage of someone that is not as smart as them?

    Many questions and many opinions by the sounds of it, let him tell his own story like many others have done & make a buck whilst he's at it.

    It will be full half truths, I better my bottom dollar he doesn't tell half of what he did to people. I hear stuff from Shannon himself and others from people around boxing and other stuff from people around wollongong and some it is not nice.
