Who cares, they're all scrubs. Especially Mason. He can't even spell "fight". Solomon could be worse though, but don't expect to see him rise to the top.

According to Danny Weidler in today's Sun Herald, Haumona was down to fight Hector Ricardo Sotelo of Argentinalon the Mundine/Clavero card on December 10. Sotelo stuffed that up by going to gaol. Khoder Nasser is looking for a replacement.

Seems a drastic way to avoid a fight.

Hopoate is fighting Brian Fitzgerald on the same card.

I wonder if anyone will give Hoppa credit for at least rematching the bloke who beat him?

This will be a make or break fight for Hoppa. A win will allow him to feed those eight hungry kiddies a few more hot dogs. A loss will see Hoppa selling those hot dogs outside the SCG this summer.

Seriously, Hoppa will need to overcome Brian's jab if he is going to do any good.

I have no brief for Hopoate, but Haumona still has a perfect KO record and seems to be having trouble getting people to fight him.

Pat Kennedy would seen a logical opponent for Haumona, but he has a fight next weekend.

Huamono-Briggs would be good im sure the nasty boy would be willing to fight him, I dont think Nasser would put Haumono in with him though.

i dont think briggs is ready 4 sol,and wot makes u think koda wouldnt put it on,briggs wood b crazy to wont that fight,couldnt see briggs taking it if offered

Briggs called Solo out a few months ago. and he would beat Solo easy

He may beat him, but he will have to get fitter and stay out of the way of Solo's right hand. Haumona grew up in a boxing gym. His father was an Australian heavyweight champion. He is not just a blow in from the football field. Briggs has a fight with Leapai about two weeks before the card we are talking about so he is out anyway.

Haumono is trying to get Col Wilson for Mundine undercard. If Col doesn't take it don't know what they'll do.

That is inside six weeks from when Wilson was KOed by Mirovic. Would it be wise to put an aging boxer in with a big hitter under those circumstances?

Solo would probably end Wilsons career...

It's a shame Sotelo is having a free holiday as his record suggested he was a step up ( albeit not a huge one) from what Haumono has been fighting. It at least showed some intent to test Haumono . Let's hope they keep trying to improve his opponents.

Sotelo has fought mostly as a lightheavy and cruiser. I would rather see Solo fight full sized heavyweights.

At least Slick Willie Mason has decided not to fight (for the time being.) This was really getting out of hand. :(

i think willie knows where the money is 4 him,and its not in the square ring,as soon as big barry halls name was mentioned anyway f### that he said barry would kill me.

Willie is injury prone enough on the field. God knows what he would cop in a boxing ring.

He would score a dominating first round KO! You don't think they would put him in with someone who he couldn't beat easily do you?

Maybe Big Willy remembered his last football injury to his wrist, which put him out for many weeks and was heavily strapped on his resumption.

Best decision he made was to put the boxing game on the back-burner, otherwise he would have become a chump.

Well, he is where he belongs now, at the Eastern Suburbs Roosters, who pay a fortune for glamour players to miss the eight.

Turn it up mate! Have you not seen the Sydney Roosters Decade of Excellence DVD!?!

Go the Roosters!!!

There were only five teams that finished behind them this year. Considering the amount they spend on players, that is pretty ordinary.
