    Yep Fitz is an Aussie... we became a nation in 1901 during Federation. What matters is where guys like Tszyu put their allegiance and what they think they are I suppose.

    Fitz was born in Britain and lived and fought most of his life outside of Australia. What criteria are we using. If Tszyu is Australian Fitz isnt. If Fitz is Australian Tszyu isnt. Unless we are just trying to pad out Australias record willy nilly.

    Would Long Duck Dong have a problem fighting her ardour?

    Think about it ...

    Russia is between Newsboy Brown, and Kostya Tszyu.

    Between them the Soviet Union happened!

    Any thoughts on best danish fighter? Kessler is a level above the rest in my opinion.

    Just a bit hard to rate fighters from back then. I can't really compare them to fighters in the modern era. But indeed sick times back then, as Nelson won the lightweight title in a 45 round fight, and he also lost a 45 round title fight by a KO in round 40. And he is also a hall of fame boxer. I can't imagine Kessler as a hall of fame boxer at any point.
