How to increase your self-esteem

Imagine you weighed 110 kg's and were 6 foot 4 inches tall. Added to this, you're a rugby player for both the Canterbury Crusader's and the All Black's, built with a physique like Leonidas from the feature film 300.

You're Fucking Wow!

Loud Noises

Meet Sonny Bill Williams (SBW). He is all of the above and wait for it, more. This 25 year old, converted Muslim, is also pursuing a career in heavy weight boxing. Impressive? Yes, if you don't fight the handicapped.

With the Canterbury Crusaders having a bye week in the S15 this past weekend, SBW was given permission to take part in his 4th professional heavy weight boxing match.

And introducing his opponent, in the red corner: 

" All the way from Tonga, 43 year old gospel singer, Alipate Liava'a"

Did I mention that Liava'a was currently on welfare for a disability that prevents him from working. Oh, and he is a gospel singer! So a fitting opponent then. Not.

Fair Fight?

SBW won this fight in 6 rounds, on a points decision and has donated all his earnings from the fight to the relief for the Christchurch earthquake that happened a few months ago. Liava'a earned about NZ$ 6,000 and plans to finance a gospel album. 

You have to question SBW's self-esteem for even wanting to enter into the ring with his opponent. At least fight someone your age and not 18 years your senior with a disability and that looks like Fat Joe (remember him).

Fat and not Phat

SBW conversion to the Islam faith comes as a result of many problems experienced, both on and off the rugby field. He had, according to him and amongst others, a serious problem with alcohol. What better way then to quit your bad habits than converting to one of the many radical faith's which ban you from doing just about everything.

This guy has issues. He might be a good-to-nearly-great rugby player but he is a shit boxer and needs to speak to a psychologist.

Boom!
