    I think Australia is a great country, and Lionel Rose was a great fighter.

    Wonder where John L. Sullivan fits in....being most everyone knows of
    John L. and his "I can lick everyone in the house" statement.

    Marciano holds the first place along with Ali.

    IMHO

    Part of the reasons are the films Sylvester Stallone made based on him and using his name and his retiring undefeated.

    For sure, but Horn right now would displace him on the list and probably slide further up again. The toast of Australia, talk about in the news.

    Joe Czak deserves to be above Union Jack, as does Spider Rico.
