    I'd forgotten about Pierre Coetzer. He wasn't the greatest of heavyweights, but he had a very good chin: he took the bombs of George Foreman and Frank Bruno very well before being stopped on cuts/mercy.

    ahh cheers for this thread m8 makes a change from the other threads out there

    hmm Coetzee first won the national lightweight title as a 13-year-old! and had a 192 ameture fights so he is gotta be 1 of the best

    and corrie sanders was 1 of the best

    Piet Crous was also a great african boxer

    1-Gerrie Coetzee -- Very durable fought until he was 42-43, and had the right hand to knock out a elephant, he would have been a live underdog against Holmes...
    Corrie Sanders was a Poor Mans Coetzee, very powerful early round fighter, but his stamina was horrible, could fight only 4 or 5 rounds and he was outta gas..
    Frans Botha was a tough as nails 90's fighter, chubby but effective..
