    Representing our flag... Vic by a good distance.

    Aussie born, Mundine still holds it, which is probably a sad relflection of aussie boxing considering his last 18 months.

    Yeah, Vic by a fair margin for mine.

    Interesting that many (or most) of our best are imports. It's great that these guys are choosing to come here, fight here and make it home. But it would be great to see more 'born here' guys making the grade too.
