    of course from an ability standpoint! dont you know people don't pick sanders to lose in head to head matchups! there is no defense to a super southpaw style!

    Coetzee was easily superior to Botha. Coetzee would win this fight decisively...the only question is how good Botha's resistance would be.

    Sanders was also 3-0 vs Botha in the amateurs.

    Like I said, Sanders at his best is unbeatable!

    Yes, but he did not have Don King. King got South African Peirre Coetzer the #1 ranking to fight Bowe. IMO, Sanders never had the promoter or connections to catch a break in the 1990's.

    Who would be the best South African fighter in any weight class?
