Cong**** to him. He had a good career. I still remember his classic with Nate Campbell. I have no idea how he shrunk down to 135 in that frame and took all those body shots, and still win.

All the best Isaac you carried the flag for South Africa with pride. Isaac was not the most talented fighter in the game but what he lacked with talent he made up with hard work and determination and always gave 100%and everything he achieved he deserved. God Bless you with what you will be doing I just hope Boxing doe'snt lose you and you work with the next generation and pass on your extensive knowledge.

Weird, I actually though Isaac passed away back in 2008. Oh crap, yeah that was Isaac Hayes... not Hlatshwayo.

So, who is this guy again?

Anyways, you'll be missed. Good luck, God bless, and all that stuff.
