    If it somehow winds up Geale vs. Soliman - who throws more? :think

    Could they set a CompuBox record for MW title bouts?

    Revisiting this, now that I have time...

    He surely can't even be top 10 p4p all-time in Australian boxing?

    Let's have a look. There must be ten better...

    Of the current era...as of today Geale certainly will have to go ahead of him when it's all said and done, however the rest of his career pans out. OK, maybe Geale's the only active one. With all due respect to Katsidis, Green, and Bika, none has made a case to be ahead of Mundine in the history books. Who else is there? Lovemore? Dib? Zappa? Leapai? :lol:

    From the past: Hall of Famers, for starters. Nobody expects Mundine getting in, agreed? So Tszyu, Fenech, Darcy, and Griffo all by virtue of simply being in there.

    Rose and Famechon, too, without question.

    So we're up to seven. (in no particular order: Geale, Tszyu, Fenech, Darcy, Griffo, Famechon, Rose)

    Here it gets tricky. Is he greater than Bugner? Carruthers? His own father? Some of the old-timers & pioneers we don't really have footage of?

    Bottom line, if he's even top 10 all-time in Oz, he's toward the bottom end in the 8/9/10 spot - and there are a few guys you could quibble over bumping him out altogether.

    All time great Australian athletes, period? I maintain that JLJ goofed.

    According to Boxrec's points-based rating system, if he retires today he'll go down as #17 all time in the country. (squeaking ahead of Hector Thompson...and Famechon, which is ridiculous...)

    Why do these Australian fights always happen in the middle of the week? They should be on the weekend.
