Australian athletes who could of been decent boxers?

He's weird for an Aussie full-stop. But to his credit he's put together a handy career as the sprinter.

 

Could have sworn John Steffensen was born in South Africa :huh

 

Yeah i could've sworn i saw a story about him once saying he was raised in SA at an early age before coming to Australia in high school or thereabouts

 

Wikepedia is not the font of all knowledge, but they have Steffensen down as being an Aussie >>>

'John William Steffensen (born 30 August 1982 in Perth, Western Australia) is an Australian athlete, who specialises in 200 and 400 metres'.

The newspaper article that claimed he would be fighting Quade Cooper also had Steffensen being born in Perth.

 

steffensen claimed rascism because he was south african

 

He's one mixed up individual. Not much of what he says stands up to scrutiny.

 

A few cyclists over the years may have been ok fighters (Gary Neiwand for a start). For some strange reason they seemed to have a fair bit of aggression. I wonder why that may have been? :think

 

One sport which would be a good crossover to boxing would be.....Basketball

 

Mate i think he might have been born in Perth but left and then came back as a teenager hence his strange saffa accent.

 

Kevin Muscat **** himself when John Kosmina grabbed him. How would he dare in a boxing ring against people who are professional boxers?

 

Wouldnt mess with John Kosmina... Australian Football Wog Gangster:yep

 

The Kos is the Alf Stewart of football. :deal
Still, Muscat is such a **** and dangerous tackler who even jokes about breaking players legs. He'd get torn a new arsehole in the ring, and I'd love to see it. :yep

 

Sally Pearson.... Head like a beaten favourite, most suited being a pugilist.

 

:good
