Is Geale the greatest?


BRETT STUBBS | May 09, 2011 12.01am

Daniel Geale's world title win.


WAS Daniel Geale's IBF world title victory yesterday the greatest ever individual sporting achievement by a Tasmanian?
The 30-year-old Sydney-based fighter won a split-points decision over Germany's Sebastian Sylvester to claim the IBF world middleweight title early yesterday morning.
It's a feat Anthony Mundine and Danny Green failed to do - win a world title in Germany by defeating a local.
The IBF belt is one of the most sought after in international boxing, originally worn by "Marvellous" Marvin Hagler and has also been won by Roy Jones Jnr, Bernard Hopkins and Arthur Abraham.
Geale's victory sees him join Jeff Harding, Lionel Rose and Jimmy Carruthers - three legends of Australian boxing - as the only Australian-born fighters to win world titles overseas.
Three-time world boxing champion Jeff Fenech said Geale's win was a great fillip for Australian boxing.
"It is a real boost," Fenech said.
"No disrespect to Anthony Mundine but these guys who are fighting for these alphabet bull**** titles, anybody who knows anything about boxing knows Anthony Mundine has not won a title. He's won interim titles.
"Daniel Geale is called the 'the Real Deal' for a reason and he went overseas and won it.
"There have been some great [middleweight] champions and hopefully Daniel will be one of them."
But how does this compare with other Tasmanian sporting performances?
Five Tasmanians have claimed Olympic gold medals - Michael Grenda (team pursuit cycling), Maree Fish (hockey), Stephen Hawkins (double sculls), Matthew Wells (hockey) and Scott Brennan (double sculls) - but none as individuals.
Tasmanian Institute of Sport director Paul Austen said Geale's performance deserved to be ranked up with any by a local.
"It is a very good question," Austen said.
"I would strongly dispute it is the best sporting performance by a Tasmanian but it would comfortably finish in the best 10 individual performances by a Tasmanian athlete, perhaps even in the best five.
"To decide what is the greatest, you have to look at how many people compete in it, what are the opportunities for people to compete in it and then you get into some of the things with boxing because it is a little bit of a confused sport in which belt is the best and which federation is the best.
"But there is no doubt it is one of the greater sporting performances by a Tasmanian in international sport."
Off the top of his head, Austen nominated Brennan and Hawkins' Olympic gold medals, cyclist Danny Clark's individual silver medal, triathlete Craig Walton's US performances and Nick Rogers' sailing world championships as worthy recipients of the state's best performance.
And of course there is Ricky Ponting, Australia's former cricket captain and the nation's all-time leading Test and one-day run scorer.
But while cricket is arguably the biggest sport in Australia, it is only played by a handful of Commonwealth countries compared to boxing that is a truly international sport.
