I am pretty sure it is Jarrod McCracken, Kim Heta has also been Ko'd early by Pat Kennedy who wouldnt knock a hen of its nest

yeah jojjon is correct, jarrod mccracken played eels and nz, a real tough prick.
i was referring to the bloke hoppa fingered????? just a play on words boys say phil mccracken out loud a few times.

firstly kim heta is not in the top eight as far as footy goes les boyd wasn't a front rower in the nrl but he would have minced any front rower or any other position for that matter if we're talking about wingers being weak look at wendal sailor and jona lomu they would run right over the top of haumono .now back to boxing any of the top eight could win decisions over each other doesn't mean haumono could do twelve rounds with any of them.

Fitzgerald is a terminal loser.

Mirovic is due for a pension.

Wilson is over the hill

Leapai lost to Wilson.

I didn't know you were a league fan Brute.

Grew up playing the game. I remember John "Fingers" Hopoate from his time at Wests and Manly. Guys he fights should be thankful he has to wear gloves or they would find out another meaning for a "low blow."

yeah spot on , it's jarrod

david,

for the record no player ran over the top of haumono on the footy field. he was feared as much as any player i can remember. it was quite funny to watch some of these big tough forwards change direction or pass the ball when they looked up and saw haumono was coming at them. it was very noticable and you would be surprised at how many times in one game they would dodge him.

i know he didn't play against jona lomu he's union and les boyd is a different time but i still don't believe soloman will go down as one the hardest in footy

Which Les Boyd are you talking about? The maniac that played for Western Suburbs and Manly Warringah was a front row and second row forward. He was nearly as wide as he was tall.

Sailor played league for Brisbane before he went to rugby union. He would run around Haumono, not through him. Lomu was a Rugby Union winger. It is a completely different game.

hey guys, please don't lose any sleep over which mccracken i was referring to!! in reply to melbourne boys rap in KIM HETA, i reminded him of ANTHONY MCCRACKENS recent comfortable win over KIM. when he replied that it sounded like a rugby name, being a VIC i took the piss and said he must be thinking of PHIL MCCRACKEN!! you know the two rugby guys...BEN DOVER and PHIL MCCRACKEN??? apologies to JARROD MCCRACKEN for the mistaken identity. phew.

my point is some wingers are as strong as front rowers but they have speed as well what about that guy who plays rugby league on the wing for new zealand at the moment can't think of his name at the moment but the commentator always joke about how hard he is to stop manu vatuvei thats it 112 kilo couldn't be a front rower no problems if he wanted to

LOL, your not a rugby league fan are you!

Solo will never be remembered as a hard man of league, he broke his contract and chased a very hot women to England.
Cant blame him, but a hard man of league, not.

Is that Fall Dover's brother unleash? I think i played cricket against him, always injured though. I believe Phil McCracken also went by the name of Phil McCrevasse. Awesome player in his day. :P

houndog,

u obviously r not a fan of haumono, but if u had watched when he played he was as tough as anyone who he played against. fact. u would also have seen other tough men go out of their way to avoid him when they looked up and saw him coming their way. he was respected on the field as a tough bugger and was feared by many.

I think if you check my previous posts you will find i am a big fan, just frustrated at his level of opposition like most people.
as far as Rugby league go's i've been watching every weekend since Parramatta beat Canterbury 4-2 in the 1986 grandfinal, an as my own playing credentials go, i represented both city and state at jnr level, and had a couple of runs with a few pro teams before my shoulder collapsed, i think i know a bit about Rugby league and seen Solo play for the doggies many times, but oppions do vary, i just think when you can finish a game of football with a broken jaw,broken leg, dislocated shoulder and so on, the hardman tag should be left for these type of guys, not a guy that was used for an impact player and had number 14 on his back for most of his carear. Good player though.

toppity,

you should be reported for being a fool.

u obviously have no life, loser.

it was a double post as my computer froze and i didn't realise it worked the first time.

so put a sock in it hey.

thanks Buster, always good to hear from you. BTW, have you ever heard of Irony

Soloman was an impact defensive footballer when coming off the bench. But that all he was in League. He had little attacking skills and was not an 80 mintes player. When he hit, he hit hard but he was not a busy player.

The fastest he ever moved was when he rushed off to the UK when smitten by the "pleasure Machine", leaving his League team in the lurch. Both he and Mundine were famous for bailing out from their League teams and one wonders if Soloman will stick with boxing after he is matched with stonger opposition.

At the risk of sounding weak fella's, i think the look of that sheila would be anough to convince me to move countries

Sadly, Soloman came back solo after the Pleasure Machine decided to pursue other more exciting interests (like prats prancing aka Dancing with the Stars) after she found the love lorn Soloman had lobbed on her front door step.
