Is there something..
 
in the aussie genes,a weakness lets say that could account for the lack of success in boxing.
now before anyone goes off on one i'm not stirring i just cant find an answer in my head why a country which has been boxing for over 100 years has never produced a real elite fighter,is it a lack of toughness or intelligence,smaller countries such as Englang,puerto rico cuba etc are pumping champs out left right and center,i just cant fathom this one out,its not just the boxing either england have beaten aus at their national sport for years now

Dont agree we havent produced elite boxers. But as a young nation, we have a small population and depth of athletic pool, but i think we do quite well considering we only have 28 mill ppl and are 200 odd years old.

Too busy fighting off the sharks, we're running out of friends down here. Fast.
No point in fighting each other when you can pay to watch jarheads do it for peanuts whilst eating peanuts. We dig the irony.
I won money on Soliman ffs!

Sorry to nitpick, but where's the other 5mil hiding?
OZ are just under 23mil population.

At least we dont need to combine 4 countries at sporting events to try and have at least some slight success

No mate, The best punch landed in the fight was an inside uppercut that Choc landed, I just go back to that moment, too bad he didnt land much else :lol:
