Pacific Islander

[edit]

Tongans are not Asian, but are Pacific Islanders.--Gmosaki 05:32, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Canseco fight too prominent

[edit]

The man played for eight seasons in the NFL and some number of seasons at BYU. Why is the longest part of his article about one celebrity boxing match that ended in the first round? That seems to be too much weight for at most three minutes of the man's life. Gentgeen (talk) 22:30, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sugar Ray Leonard fight

[edit]

I find the claim that Sikahema fought Sugar Ray Leonard in a National Golden Gloves tournament questionable, since several other sources (http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/news/Story.asp?story_id=1571) only claim that he fought in a tournament eventually won by Leonard. More importantly, Sikahema is listed as more than 6 years younger than Leonard, who last fought in an amateur event in the Olympics in 1976, and won his last of three Golden Gloves titles in 1974. Sikahema turned 12 in August of 1974, and would not have been of an age to compete with Leonard before Leonard turned pro. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Neil Hunt (talkcontribs) 12:37, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Goal Post Punching

[edit]

"It was during his stint with the Eagles that he came up with the famous 'goalpost punching' stunt after scoring a punt return touchdown in a 1992 game against the New York Giants at Giants Stadium." Are you sure about this? I seem to remember him doing this after the second TD in a game against Tampa Bay in 1987 when he ran two punts back for TDs in a game that St. Louis came back from 28-3 to win. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.115.147.166 (talkcontribs) 22:34 5 November 2013 (UTC)

A look at YouTube answers your question. Chris the speller yack 18:37, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
