Old South Wales v New South Wales ( And the rest of Australia )

I agree he may not have any really great wins but neither has Rees. I think Thompson in this day and age could win himself an alphabet strap like Rees did.

 

Josey , youre tripping mate . Lets see Rees fight an absolutely prime Roberto Duran in Panama City like Hec did . Rees wouldnt last 2 rounds against Duran . He wouldnt last 4 against the great Antonio Cervantes either. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7c-vCbV0es&feature=related[/ame]

 

Heavyweight I'm giving to Farr.Jackson was a West Indian and Hungarian Pom Joe is no Aussie fighter . Light Heavy Ill go with Calzaghe at 175 I think he'd beat Harding fairly easily. Middleweight Sands or Darcy by a mile . Welter Ill go with Colin Jones . Although Kostya would have beaten him in his prime I cant claim him as as Aussie fighter .Lightweight its a tie Freddie Welsh was a pioneer legend and us aussies have Young Griffo who was the same . Featherweight Fammo over Winstone any day . Fammo was more robust than Howard . He was robbed against Saldivar . Jem Driscoll was a great but I think the duo of Fenech and Fammo gives us Aussies the edge . Bantamweight Im going with Lionel Rose and Flyweight is a mismatch with the great Jimmy Wilde getting the nod in a one round kayo over Henry Nissen , Brian Roberts , Hussy Hussein etc etc. Cheers Mate . Kick arse Thread . 5 - 4 to the Taffys in the 9 true weight classes .

 

Just depends whos provoking Josey.

Plenty of good posters on here like yourself I dont mind agreeing to disgaree with. Then theres the ****wits that I'll argue with day and night. :yep

 

Good post JC. :good

 

I'll back Australia against Scots, Irish, Welsh............ but taking on the poms might be a stretch.

 

Josey - one of your legends has a film or doco just released.

“Risen – The Howard Winstone Story,”

Tell us more about Howard.

 

your a lucky fella :good i've read that Winstone was a gentleman
