QUOTE (Fitz @ Jan 31 2011, 01:06 AM)  Sonny Bill Williams? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Ex rugby player. I seen him a while ago, and he looked raw as fuck. I know he only had 3 fights, but still. He has a good body, lean, strong and tall with long arms. But Mundine is an idiot to be saying that stuff so early. I've just read that article as well and it is just crazy to say that. However that is the Mundine family for you. To have any kind of chance to be in the same universe as Ali he would have to have been boxing for a lot longer than he already has. What I will say about Sonny Bill Williams though is that he has the most raw atheletic ability I've seen since Jonah Lomu. The guy is a freak and certainly if he's been boxing and soley boxing for a few years there may be something in him being competitive in the sport. Physically eveything is in place. My bet is that he gives boxing a try fulltime after the World Cup which hopefully the All Blacks will win. I just think he is too far behind the 8 ball to catch-up. Although if anyone has got the ability to do it it is probably him. Did you catch the fight? It was playing at a pub I was at and I had half an eye on it. It was a pretty scrappy affair and the other guy came to spoil. He didn't look too bad for a guy whom is essentially doing it part time, but I wasn't blown away. |

Nah, I didn't catch it. They were charing like $40 or $50 for that as a PPV, lol.
I seen him fight once, and it was scrappy, but his first fight. He has a good build, but for a guy with such little experience, Mundine Sr just needs to keep his mouth shut. |

QUOTE (JLUVBABY @ Jan 31 2011, 03:06 AM) dudes got some long as arms... damn... Yep physically the guy is quite a speciman. You should see him play rugby or rugby league, he is even more atheletic than perhaps that clip showed. I reckon we have quite a few of these kind of guys walking around NZ but unfortunately most of them want to be All Blacks or play professional rugby league in the NRL (the Aussie comp.) |

QUOTE (JLUVBABY @ Jan 31 2011, 06:05 PM) Yep, told you he has incredibly long arms. It's ridiculous. Mundine Sr is just being an idiot, he should take it easy with comments like that though. |

QUOTE (ViperSniper @ Jan 31 2011, 02:17 AM) The guy will only get better as he has good movement and is still a baby in the sport, his physical background should give him an advantage over the soft division. The fact he has size, decent footwork and is in great shape should take him further in the HW division. He has potential but for his sake, his team should not throw such outrageous comparisons so early..nor ever! i must not have read it... who did his corner compare him to? |

He could be anything," Mundine said. "I saw him about 12 months ago, I really thought he moved like Ali." "He needs more fights ... If he keeps on boxing seriously, he will be the second Ali." |

I hope he gets seriously hurt playing Rugby. |
