Gerrie Coetzee ... at his best he was easily the world's best. An incredible puncher who was severely limited by injured hands in 70% of his fights.

RIP Gerrie

[@JamesFahy-ro3oc]

These two guys supposedly couldn't stand each other.

ons beste ref Stan Cristidoulou as in die ring

[@Poepwoes]

All that talent + natural skills. Such a pity about his asthma & "bar-fight" against Mike (Schutte). Dad got banned, he went to the Toweels.: Nothing wrong with the Toweels; unlike most of us, he did not need "teaching". They helped the not-so-skilled guys a lot. Coetzee could have been our best but for those unfortunate stuff mentioned earlier. So let us not forget him in and only focus on Mitchell & Bungu (THEY were the best in all aspects in their weight-divisions, though)

Good fight

South African fantasy boxing dream fight, Gerrie Coetzee vs Corrie Sanders, who wins? Your thoughts.

[@Xplode101]

Corrie

[@ktheterkuceder6825]

They both had heavy blows which it would take one to the head to kill an average person. If they ever fought they both would have to keep their hands up otherwise either death or a good 14 month in a coma followed by permanent brain damage.

Hoe laat het hierdie boks geveg tussen Gerrie Coetzee en Kallie Knoetze plaasgevind? Op 30 Oktober 1976 by Rand Stadion toe Gerrie Coetzee in die 10 de rondte gewen het? Ek wil graag weet hoe laat die geveg begin het en hoe laat dit ge-eindig het, ek was tydens hierdie geveg gebore.

[@riaandeklerk1926]

Kallie die beste ooit. Hys bewustlik geroof van ou seer handjies vir die titel.

[@andrewb4470]

Lol, 'ou seer handtjies'. I think Kallie was better here, but there's no denying Gerrie was good. What do you think of Pierre Coetzer?

[@Poepwoes]

@@andrewb4470 Coetzer : Amper 'n perfect mens; nie net in boxing nie. 'n Voorbeeld van wanneer die Toweels jou so goed as moontlik kon maak

[@andrewb4470]

@@Poepwoes It's true what you say about the Toweels - they were well liked and brilliant trainers. My dad often spoke of them when he was bodybuilding at the time. Sadly, those days are gone for good. Alles van die beste!

[@billyjohnesterhuizen6340]

so jammer net ou seer handjies was ver beter as hy ne ......ha...ha...ha....

[@lungisamapitsha3168]

Pierri Cotzer was slow.
