I met a New Zealander who told me all sorts of stories about how strong this guy was as a kid.One story is that at a school athletics champs he picked up the shotput and literally threw it like you would throw a stone or a tennis ball. It went something like 35 meters whereas most kids were putting 5-9 meters with it. Another story was about him was that he would throw a javlin so far, that extra space needed to be cleared for the distance he could throw it.Also heard he would do 100 meter sprints with a person on his back!He could do 100 meter sprint in under 11 seconds at a weight of 110kg.Was offfered a multimillion dollar contract from Dallas Cowboys and turned it down.There are more stories about him but I can't recall the others. Mainly about how strong the guy was. He is apparently of a special kind of native breed of black people in New Zealand (nothing to do with Africans) called "The Maoris" who decend from local tribes who used to fight to the death with rival tribes. That race (now mixed into the New Zealand with white people but still some exist) gets extremely violent and agressive (and are very strong) when they drink alcohol, and many are violent criminals now, but also if this kind of person and physique can be harnessed and controlled for athletic purposes, the results can be amazing.Any New Zealanders out there, have you heard those kinds of stories and any evidence they are really true?
I think you're confusing him with Chuck Norris
Hes Tongan. Not Moari....after the 95 world cup he was offered a contract from the Dallas cowboys...
Yep, RIP--but he wasn't that ripped compared to th standard of the day- Dorian, Shawn, Kev, Munzer, Momo, Flex, Chris Chormier, etc, he did okay in a few contests had odd shaped abs when doing the front double bi, but he was never a world beater---I think he turned to drug dealing (coCAINE). Kinda like the Polynesian version of Charles Clairmonte-good but not great.
he will be the baddest man on the stage at least
Any particular part of the story? Or all of it?
Why did his career fail to reignite?
NZMM said Jonah was in his class a few weeks ago , maybe I mistook that as him meaning Jonah was competing in the same show and not the same weight class either way having seen Jonah and NZMM s pic from the other night Jamie is miles ahead with condition not the same size obviously but size means shit when you are soft and still look off season.
