When you fight the absolute best, when you lose, come back and win, upset the odds…hell, fight in fights where the odds don’t favour you, you go on to be considered one of the best.

Fire your trainer. Get a new coach , take steroids to moved up multiple weight classes and come to America. Follow manny Pacquiao footsteps.

All the best to Hekkie and his family. He had a very good career and achieved becoming the world champion.

I remember sitting near him at ringside during a tournament at Emperor's palace in Johannesburg when he was commentating. That was for the Oosthuizen-Liebenberg fight.

Pierre Coetzer, the former heavyweight contender, was also there, and Brian Mitchell, one of the best South Africa has had.
