..ronnie doo..you read my mind..he was a gun alright..he belted a mate of mine..Scooter Hooper..

..what about Cliff Samardin?

[pinstriper]

Junior Thompson was another, defended his Aust title against Fenech in Jeff's 3rd fight from memory.
Ronnie Doo is training amateurs at Monaco St PCYC on the Gold Coast. Still loves his boxing. Top bloke Ronnie!

..I was gunna drop my great old mate Junior Thompsons name...he fought in 4 weight divisions..defended his title a week apart..
..a great all action fighter from the 'ville..
..and he took the Fenech fight on 3 weeks notice too...he could've gone all the way but had abit of a reluctance to train..haha

[pinstriper]

I sparred with him a couple of times in the 80's, he could whack for a little fella!

Gary Wills Australian cruiserweight champion.

[Bwgcolman]

Neil Pattel, Doug Sam, Normy Stevens and David Sarrago.

[Bwgcolman]

Ernie and Dale Artango, Renato Cornett and Shane Knox. Would of all won national titles today easily, also would of done well with all the regional titles.

[ipswich express]

Enjoying this thread immensely. A welcomed change to most of the garbage here these days. Ernie Artango is a funny one. Retired or basically didn't fight again while ranked #2 by the IBF at Light Middleweight while Campas and Vargas were champs. Dale still trains boxers.

I remember Pat Stone fighting in the tent at the show grounds, he used to punch 5 shades of shit through the punters I forgot about Neil Pattel, good call

[mrdoctor]

Dave Russell and Scott brower...Paul Ferrari

[pinstriper]

Some names in there that I haven't heard for years. There were some dead set wars in the 80's and 90's in Australian rings and some fucking good fighters around too. Great thread this one!!
