    i did consider bugner. full respect for him and his career. a legend that does indeed call australia home.

    however.....he made his name as a hungarian fighting out of england. so i discount him as a legit aussie as he had his biggest fights for another country, migrated to oz, and then traded on that 1st career to get a few more fights on the coat tails of fenech.

    had bugner came from bulgaria to oz and had his career as an aussie, like kostya did, bugner would indeed be considered our best, and we may never have seen such a talent again.

    All Leapai has to do to emulate "Aussie Joe" is win the WBF belt. That would require a tiny step up from Matt Hicks though.
