When Don Frye says you`re scary that really says it all!

I was in a restaurant in Philadelphia and Tonga was there with his family eating. I sent him a drink as he was my favorite wrestler at the time. Tonga, in turn, paid for my whole tables meals, and there was 5 of us. He's a beautiful human being!

What I love about Haku/Tonga is that when asked about his fighting skills or complimented, he just quietly chuckles, smiles, and says thank you. Seems like all the wrestlers who knew him feared & respected him, but they also said what a nice person he was. Just don't ever cross him!

In the words of the Barbarian “I’m a tough man but Tonga is a crazy tough man and is one of two people who can beat me in a fight! The other person is my wife”

I just can’t imagine any of them beating Tonga. Those island boys are built different and even among them Tonga was in a class of his own. Fascinating.

This haku fella fascinates me out of all the hard men.... the stories are just so fucking hard to belive but they literally all say the same. The guy was a monster

When Don Frye says someone is scary, that's good enough for me.Great video.

Prime Tyson during Cus Dmato's tutelage was a beast!

WWE, rugby, villains, pro fighters, street fighters and more, I’m loving this. This channel is like a testosterone boost for us all ❤😂

Lovely seeing Andre The Giant there .He was a gentle giant and had a great sense of humor .Arnold Schwarzenegger tells s good story about him ..They just did a show in Paris and Andre invites Arnold Schwarzenegger to the best restaurant in France .They have a lovely meal the best in there lives ,.Arny says il get the bill Andre says "NO il get the bill this goes on for ages arguing whos gona pay ,Then Andre gets fed up stands up picks Arnold up like a small toddler and puts him on top of a 6 foot cabinet then goes and pays 😂

When every wrestler agrees on something, it means it's true.

In his prime Tonga would have smashed 99% of men without a doubt. A truly humble man who'd never look for trouble. Great content again Matt. Best channel on you tube 👊👊👊

Steve Blackman tough dangerous guy too. Those Islanders so hard to hurt

I think one big advantage Tonga would have over Spiers would be his conditioning. He was an athlete as well as a fighter. If the fight dragged on a bit it would probably put him on top. But neither man would escape unscathed.

Lenny vs Haku would be like 2 cannibals having dinner with each other 👃👂👁🦴

Haku was an absolute gent in the ring, he never took advantage of the younger guys or bullied anyone in the locker room. He just had absolutely zero tolerance for nonsense.

Always like Matt’s calm and appreciative demeanor. He treats his KZfaq guests with class and dignity. As for Tonga or Spiers, jeeeze man I’d rather they got along. Although, I know Mr Spiers passed on way too soon, there’s a decent chance that if they did fight, they may end up in a draw if sanctioned with sone rules. If on street, it would come down to the reason to even go there. Both men looked phenomenal.

Those island boys ,, Tonga Samoa , Fiji , they are built diffrent ,, ask the rugby boys 🤨🤨 Haku so highly trained that build 😐very hard 2 beat great upload Matt 💥💥

Tonga Fifita would go through Lenny like he would go through me.. .

Thankyou for this clip. Tonga is revered in Pro Wrestling circles both throughout the United states and all over the world. Even here in Australia he's reknown...

I'm so appreciative of your videos about Haku. I remember his wrestling days but you opened my eyes not only to what and incredible fighter he was, but also what a gentleman. Thanks Matt, you are a class act.

Good video Matt, you know the old saying “there’s always someone bigger round the corner” in Tonga’s case I ain’t so sure

Matt , a fighter who hardly gets a mention , probally has one of the best boxing records in history who had 47 fights including 2 loses between the age of 20 to 28 after which he called it a day before coming back 10 years later to have 30 odd fights before retiring at 48 years old , 81 fights and just 5 loses and still alive today . Lenny may of been the Govnor but Big George was the Foreman !

Respect to lenny and price, however Tonga all the way. Multi skilled Tonga will always have the edge. Do or die. Great video Matt. Gary v Tonga who knows. Even I think

Almost every top fighter we talk about....Lenny McLean, Roy Shaw, Malcolm Price etc.....people around at the time always have names they think could have beaten them. Now, when legit guys talk about Tonga....u will literally never hear a single person say, anywhere, that they thought there was another guy who could beat him. That elevates Tonga for me, past all the rest. By the way mate, im really good friends with R. Horsley, i saw u mention him in another video. Great guy, top top man and we talk regular about boxing. Take care 👊💥

Chris Jericho had Haku on his podcast and told a story of when both of them were wrestling in Mexico on a stint for the WCW. They were traveling together even though Chris was a babyface and Haku was a heel. Chris said he arrived at the airport about 10 minutes before Haku as both were flying back to the US. Chris was the Cruiserweight champion and had to carry the belt with him and as he was going through customs, the customs officers started harassing him about the belt. Chris said the customs officers told him he could board the plane but he would have to leave the belt. He said he couldn't do that because if he came back without the belt, he would have to pay for a new one. The customs officers said if he gave them $300 they would let him board with the belt to which Chris responded loudly that they were trying to use their power to extort money from him. The argument at this point got very loud and threatening. About this time Chris said he heard a loud voice yell, "Chris, are you ok?" He said he looked back and all he saw were people literally flying through the air. Haku said all I heard was you and people yelling at you and I had to make sure my friend was okay! Chris said that neither one of us made the flight and were put in "airport" jail and missed the WCW event they were flying to. Chris said he looks back on that day, and the 2 things that stood out about that day was Haku yelling, " Chris are you okay?" and the people being tossed around so you could make sure I was okay. Haku said " Chris, you are my friend, and I love you, and I will not let anyone hurt my friends and people that I love, Bruddah!" That to me shows you what type of person Haku is.

I worked with a lot of Islanders in construction out here... lovely blokes, funny and humble... A few came to our gym, to keep fit for rugby.. 5 ft 9 of me never got on their bad side!!! Great work Matt, glad you and your channel are going well.🥊

I think it would be unfair to pick one Between Gary and Tonga as we will never know...But what a scrap that would have been...Great vlog Matt.🥊

Aww Tonga is amazing a machine 💪🏻 so physically powerful but so happy and humble. Lenny the London Legend 🌟 what a man when you have a film made in your name you know you made an impact. There are some truly tough guys out there loved watching this. Great vid Mr Legg 🙌🏻Keep em coming 💥💥💥

I really enjoy listening to your knowledge of fighters. Gary Spiers, I agree was a machine. Tonga v Spiers wow that would be insane. I think Spiers would win. I really appreciate your positivity Matt, I would love to shake your hand one day. Almost 55k subs, that's shows how much we as viewers appreciate you Matt. As always my friend, much respect from australia 🇦🇺

Fantastic rugby players from Tonga 🇹🇴💯✊

Godzilla would have a decent chance against Tonga but apparently Tonga's skin is flame resistant. 🤔

thank you Matt. Always enjoy your content. You are a cerebral guy. Greetings from central Florida

That was fascinating! I’d heard stories about him before but that was testament indeed with all those guys! Much appreciated Matt! 👍

Respect to everyone who was even discussed in this video. I'm sure that they could all kick some butt. I have to correct 1 thing which the video maker failed to point out about Mike Tyson. It's the fact that there's a huge difference between getting hit in a boxing match by a guy wearing gloves and getting hit in a street fight by a guy wearing no gloves. We all saw Mike in his prime KO guys in the ring, but we didn't see him hit anyone without the gloves (just bare knuckles). I'm sure Tonga was tuff, but I couldn't imagine him taking multiple strikes from Tyson with bare knuckles.

Tremendous Matt. I love that you put the hours into your research mate!

Wow. Cheers Matt. Absolute blinder. Since yer 1st vid on Tonga I've been intrigued. 💯🥊👊💪🏆👏👏👏

Interesting and really informative video of this fighting legend. Thank you Matt

Wow great video, its hard for me to see Gary getting beaten by any of these men however Tonga is special type of animal and honestly it would be too savage for words. Lenny would probably struggle with the skill of Gary but just damn bunch of savage fighters, Matt you are the man thanks brother

Harley Race would be a good candidate, I heard someone say Andre the Giant feared only two men and that Haku and Harley Race. Harley was chosen to be The NWA champion because of the territory wrestling system a local superstar might try to go into business for themselves and try to forcefully take the title, and Harley never let that happen.

Thanks for this video, Matt. Bless you 🙏🥊

Haku v Ken Shamrock in the 90s would of been a hell of a street fight.

Quickly becoming one of my favorite channels to watch. Great job 👏

Another great watch, I love your channel and on and upwards 👆 you go 👊🏽👊🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Brilliant video as usual.i always look forward to when you post something new.all the best.

Gday Matt , I’m about to watch some Gary Spiers , I must add there’s people out there with superhuman skills and strength Meng for example. Our islander brothers are seen to be naturals in some arts 👍

Harley Race was a legit tough man as well he cleared out many bars in his day

Really good, cheers ❤🙏

Thanks for the new contact. Tonga is amazing.

Love these videos, well done, Matt - keep them coming! 👊🏻

really enjoyed this one Matt, well done. Good summary of the different fighters. Hope you're well.

Thanks for your videos Matt, very interesting stuff from the world of fighting men.

Incredibly strength these old timers Matt. Another great vid 👌 👏

Absolutely love what you do 👌 always well presented and well researched

He was a power house very strong man a formidable force but gary spires in my opinion would have done him but with a fight and tyson its hard to say but what a man ..respect 🥊💪💯

Great video and very well narrated. Thankyou for providing this very interesting information.

Great content as usual 👏 👊

Great content Matt. Really enjoyed this 💪👍

I like this vid. Lots of good clips. Made me want to check out your channel to binge watch a few to accompany my insomnia. Lol. Thank you for the content.

Video well done very classy. Educational on all fighters and all fighters opinion on Tonga.

Great video mate

Great content Matt, Be blessed

Superb as always 👍☘

Awesome video, really well done as always! I'm doing much better since last year with my dad passing as well as three friends - pretty brutal year! I haven't smoked or drank for over a month now and I can easily see myself in the same way six months from now. The exercise comes next now I'm confident that the hard part of quitting is out of the way!

Excellent video as always 👌🏻

Another great and enjoyable video Matt .

Great vid again as always mate🙌🏼

great videos , love this channel

Some tear-up that, Tonga Vs Tyson but I think GS Vs Tonga would be war. Hope the training is going well,God bless you and your family Matt. 🥊🥊

Great video. Great comparison 👍

Brilliant this

I remember that big unit. Brilliant video Matt, for once I had some good memories🤣buckled laughing here at the tank sketch 🤣🤣🤣Excellent video big fella, have a decent weekend bro👊❤️✌️

Great episode Matt. Haiku gets my vote in a street fight. Size, strength and street fight experience. His wrestling skills would win him it, if it got past initial striking. 😊👍

spiers and meng was a beast hes a guy you want on your side in war

Great video. Tonga for me.

Love the chanel 🙂

Great video.

Difficult call between a prime Spiers vs Tonga. Tonga may just edge it but one thing for sure is the clean up of body parts afterwards would be horrendous. Would need to call in a mafia clean up team just to tidy up. Great content Matt and looks like the channel is going well. Don't forget to get everyone to share, like and subscribe on every video brother. 🥊👍

yours videos are really really intresting and funny to watch. bravo! go haed this way. Greetings from Italy

Nice one Matt!

Hi Matt hope you and your family are well thanks for the video very interesting 👍

Nice one Matt

Great content .👊🥊 stay strong keep sound .# respect .💜

Tonga beast off a man hard to imagine any one beating him but as you know no one is invincible Another great you tube show hope you make many more respect big man hope the training is going well I like my beer too much now 😂

AWESOME video Matt INTERESTING stuff

Great video i knew nothing about tonga so this video was very insightful 🙂

Great content as usual Matt no wonder your channel is buzzing

Quality video👌

Been a fan for a good while Matt. Love you bringing up Haku ❤

Great vid Matt. Fedor Emelianenko said that Aleksandr Karelon was the most terrifying fighter he ever came across. Be another crazy one to put in the mix

Great content Matt

Loving your channel. You and Ricky English were good to me when I joined Bushey ABC as a timid teenager

I love this channel. I remember before I ever got to see a Shoot style interview on professional wrestlers. Before ever hearing stories about how much of a bad ass he really was. Always knew they was something unique and special about Haku/Meng. Didn’t get to see his WWF stuff. So the first time I laid eyes on him. Was a WCW Saturday Night show. He came out as Colonel Robert Parker’s bodyguard with the dark shades on. You wanna talk about believability he had it in spades. I’m so fascinated with this man’s story. I’ve always loved the real legit tough guy bad asses from Professional Wrestling. Which is why I am also a huge fan of the UFC/Combat Sports. Just martial arts fighting in general. I wish they was a major documentary on him. I get the WWE might not wanna produce such a thing. Because of the graphic nature of events Mr. Tongo took part in. But, boy would I love it so much.lol. This man’s story deserves to be told. Thanks for the video.

Hope you are well matt keep up the good work mate 🥊🥊👊👊

Street fights between a lot of these guys could come down to who lands first, from the story’s tonga and most of the others always got in quickly and brutally finished the fight. Good video 👍

For me Spiers… but on their day, all of the aforementioned. Great content Mate thank you 🙏👊

Nice 👍 One Matt

Been watching some bull from other KZfaqrs lately so glad when seen a upload from you Matt no your in for straight up awesome watch x

❤good video and footages..welldone Matt 😊..Tonga reminds me of my dad..scary 😅 but a good heart ❤

Haku/Tonga is one of those people who come along once in 50 years or so with the perfect combination of size, strength, big boned thick physique, speed, immunity to pain, high kicks, punches, wrestling, and an unimaginable brutal mindset ready to do anything. Plus he has Polynesian blood running through his veins and everyone knows that the Pacific islanders are built differently and have a warrior mindset. He would kill anyone in a streetfight. He is once known to have knocked out 5 Marines in few seconds according to legendary tough guy Rick Steiner who witnessed it.
