I have just updated my website with this list of the 10 best
Australian fighters of all-time. This list is from taken from
"The Ring" magazines November 1992 issue. This is not just a tease to
get you to visit my website because I will list ALL 10 fighters and
this might create a good discussion in this newsgroup.
1. Young Griffo
2. Jack Carroll
3. Vic Patrick
4. Jeff Fenech
5. Les Darcy
6. Jimmy Carruthers
7. Lionel Rose
8. Dave Sands
9. Ambrose Palmer
10. Ron Richards
That is the list as written by "The Ring" in 1992. I also have 10
other sections on my website including a Hall of Fame page with every
member included with biographies and records, the best schedule on the
net, results, a trading post, Heavyweight only section and some
international articles from fans around the world. So drop by at

Marty,

For sure, the Aussie fighters have gone pretty much under the radar of great fighters. I followed the career of Rose and Fenech. Neither ever had a dull fight nor any let down in quality preparedness.

Thank you for bringing the subject to light.

I just saw Katsidis vs. Amonsot - the whole fight is available on
YouTube. (With software to download the actual file, YT is actually
great! -- never thought I'd say that...)

Mr. Katsidis is very far from my view of what makes up the ideal
fighter - no jabs, every shot thrown to take you out for good (and
that tattoo and helmet showbiz thing...) - but nonetheless, a though
guy with a merciless attitude (toward himself, not the least). His
fights are - well, unconventional, unusual.

Emanuel Steward (RIP) made an interesting comment about Aussie
fighters - that they are very though, even more so than Filipinos. And
that says a lot!

I saw that article as well. Interestingly Johnny Famechon (world champ) was not on the list but his trainer Ambrose Palmer was.
Yes, Johnny Famechon should be considered Australian even though he was born
in Paris. He was 56-5-6 and was never knocked out. The first time he ever fought on the European Continent, he lost his title in Rome and then retired.

It's impossible not to have Johnny in the top 10.

Thank you, Marty. Lionel Rose an Jeff Fenech are among my favorites fighters. Both were very cordial when I met them years ago, and they both were quite humorous and gracious. Must have something to do with being an Aussie.
