who was the greatest foreign boxer to live in australia

Famechon moved to Australia at age 5 in 1950 and had his fist pro fight in 1961, 11 years after he'd permanently settled here.

Famechon was never a "foreign boxer" because at 5 he'd never had a fight prior to moving to Australia.

 

Great call :good

 

Famechon moved to Australia at age 5. He'd never had a fight prior to moving to Australia. So he was never a "foreign boxer."

Your trolling would be much more effective if your thread title actually linked up with your "argument." :good

 

Also - and this is why he was initially of interest to me - he is probably (and this is based off my own independent research, have never found anything to corroborate it, but my educated hunch is quite strong) the real-life basis for the character of "Memphis Kid" in the pugilistic literary classic The Professional by WC Heinz.

If anybody has yet to read that, by the way, do. :good

 

Vic Darch has got to be up there, won loads real world titles in 2 weight classes (undisputed in one of them), and ventured up further with a do or die attitude and would fight anyone...Something KT didn't do.

 

Peter Jackson

 

Have to agree with this, darchinyan did more than kt, in my opinion

 

Hold on a second. So now Tsyzu is a foreigner is he ? Most of you blokes used to say he is Australian. Which is it is he a Russian or Australian.

 

nice try u bitter tart.

 

Idiots like you make me laugh. According to some Tszyu is an Aussie when he is a world champion blasting people out but when he abandons his kids and goes back to Russian to hang out with cheap tarts he is a Russian who used to live here. So is he still an Aussie guys or is he now a Russian. Which one is it ? Well ?

 

He was a foreigner, who migrated.

 

u r just a sad sack aren't u?

 

Is he Russian or Australian ?
