NO Aaron what I mean is that Daniel is a shorter, unfancied fighter who doesn't fight with flashy techniques and probabley doesn't have the pretty boy features of say a Ray, Paula or the showmanship or articulation of say a Jason Suttie or Peter Graham. The kinds of things that K-1 and sponsors tend to look for. Like it or not thats what they look for as well as fighting ability.

I mean look at the chances and $$$ Oscar Dela Hoya got vs what Bernard Hopkins got and we both know who was the better fighter. Same with Sugar Ray Lenord over Marvin Hagler and again with both know who was better there. Look at Martin Holm in K-1 who has beaten several top K-1 fighters but doesn't seem to get his shot because apparently K-1 thinks he's boring. It aint fair but thats what happens.

On the other hand if he wins his way through Vegas there should be nothing stopping him.

What I said above is in support of Daniel and an observation of how difficult it is for him because he doesn't fit into the so called marketable category. Nor did Mark Hunt before he won his way through to Tokyo Dome - he just had to do it harder and Daniel does too and when the opportunity presents itself take it with both hands. Man i think you're pulling a negative out of a positive, I thinks its time for Daniel to be given his chance too.

The 145 Kilo Moari with 12% body fat, fitted into the Bob Sapp Category and like it or not K-1 was chasing that at the time (and I am not a fan of that type of fighter either it sucks when fighters who have spent years honing their skills don't get a chance).

Kaoklai was hugely popular and a surprise winner of Korea who was supposed to be feed to the dogs when he fought Iggy - when he then won the hearts of the Japanese fans will his heart, skill and showmanship - I suspect it wasn't supposed to happen that way but he grabbed his chance with both hands and ran with it. Same with his draw with Bernado, KO of Mighty MO and ripp off loss to Musashi, and to be honest I think he beat the Korean monster this year as well.

So in that respect hopefully Daniel will get his shot, run with it and laugh at all the neysayers all the way to the bank.
