Who would you choose to be in an Australasian version of The Contender? Say it is for blokes around 170lbs.

you want people who can put on a show

porky
tim bell
geale
mundine
danny
sam
pittman
medley
bika
nader

Is it really fair to put Porky in it? It means you know the winner before it even begins...

"HARDCORE HADLOW"

effin wake up to yourself marlin you goose

They should have it in the lower weight divisions at like 65 kilos or something,
But only if Zappa will fight at that weight lol, id like too see him fight Michael Hatwell or Oyewale Omotoso as they are big hitters too or maybe around 60 kilos so Zappa can fight Kickett on there.

Fox 8 2,3 years ago got the rights to make a Australasian Contender but never happed so it might be in the works for next year maybe.

What? Isn't he like 6/111, this guy is anything but hardcore.

Wrong dude he has 1 KO in 21 fights,in my day Hardcore was at least 80% KO.

Heard the mail earlier in the year that the contender series was downunder, even heard Les Sherington was signed up to try out.

Going on the mail, ESPN2 dropped the series and Sugar Ray ensured that a rival Network was willing to pickup where they left off.

It will be Between middle to Light Heavy, as thier is an abundance of prospects floating around.

This show is nessecary for boxing.

Zappa is a Lightweight and is 20 YO, no need for him to chase a 2/0 Light heavy Michael Hatwell LOL, the Difference being almost 20 Kilo' or 44 pounds, kind of makes a mismatch LOL, but anyhow LOL, you know what i mean LOL./

Sorry, too many beers And El smoko makes for negative posts, so heres mine for everyone to Retort.

At middleweight; Jamie Pittman, Junior Talipeau, Robert Medley,Ben Crampton.
At Super MiddleWeight; Wayne Parker Jnr, Les Sherrington?,Zac Awad.
At LIGHT HEAVY; Daniel Lovett, Daniel Baff, Kerry Foley.

All of Australians best contenders, in these weightclasses.

Fire Away.

i can assure u that there will be a few coming out of retirment for the show.

I believe that this moted "Contender" series is a pipedream as we don't have enough capable cattle around to make up the numbers.

depends if it is for everyone, or just up and comers.

you'd have to put shannon taylor in there as well. even though he's a has been he deserves a go at it.

Yes!!!! Put Taylor in there. He can talk all he likes about being world champ and all that other shit as he does now - but THEN he'll have to fight someone worthy of a challenge!!!!!!!!!!! I like the idea, because that idiot needs to put up or shut the fornicate up!

(Sorry, shitty customer at work has made me shitty, therefore shitty mood post!)
