Hoppa hailed as Aussie Tyson JOHN Hopoate retained his Australian heavyweight title without breaking into a sweat - then was told by his rival he had more power than former world champion Mike Tyson. Hopoate won a unanimous points decision (99-90, 99-91, 97-94) against a sloppy and ragged Bob Mirovic last night in Canberra to get his professional career back on track. And the words from Mirovic, who at 43 is now almost certain to finally walk away from the sport, would have been comforting. "Hoppa is as strong as a bloody ox. I spent six weeks sparring Mike Tyson in America and I deadset believe John is stronger than Tyson," a bruised and battered Mirovic told One HD. "Tyson in his day may have been different, but John is very powerful and strong. "The first time we fought I wasn't prepared like I should have been. But tonight there were no excuses." http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/ ... 5754189905

Oh, and didn't Hopoate get knocked out by McCall in 2 rounds a few months ago. Sounds brilliant.

Pacquiao & Mayweather lead active fighters in the World's Greatest Ever Boxers Promo. The two greatest pound-for-pound boxers today, Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, Jr., lead a group of eight active champions in "The World's Greatest Ever Boxers" (TWGEB) promotion. On-line voting at www.GreatestEver.com allows boxing fans from around the world to select the greatest boxer in each of the original eight weight classes, highlighted by the all-time pound-for-pound “Greatest Ever.” Pacquiao (49-3-2, 37 KOs), riding a 10-fight win streak against a contemporary “Who’s Who” list of world-class boxers, is 3-0 versus other TWGEB nominees, Marco Antonio Barrera (twice) and Oscar de la Hoya. A candidate in TWGEB featherweight division, “Pac Man” has held world titles in five different weight classes, defeating other world champions such as Ricky Hatton, David Diaz, Juan Manuel Marquez and Erik Morales (twice). Mayweather (39-0, 25 KOs) joins Rocky Marciano, Ricardo Lopez, and Joe Calzaghe as the only unbeaten TWGEB nominees. “Pretty Boy” Floyd, or “Money” Mayweather, retired after stopping Hatton in December of 2007, but he’s returning September 19 to fight Marquez. Mayweather, a lightweight TWGEB candidate, has captured six world titles in five different weight classes. The six other active fighters who are TWGEB nominees are heavyweight Evander “The Real Deal” Holyfield (42-10-2, 27 KOs), light heavyweight Roy Jones, Jr. (53-5, 39 Kos), middleweight Bernard “The Executioner” Hopkins (49-5-1, 32 KOs), featherweight Marcos Antonio “Baby Faced Assassin” Barrera (65-7, 43 KOs), bantamweight Hosumi Hasegawa (27-2, 11 KOs) and flyweight Vic “The Raging Bull” Darchinyan (32-2-1, 26 KOs). http://www.greatestever.com/988.php
