    Many people where mourning about the state of Aussie boxing when Green and Briggs retired earlier this year but its the " little guys" that I think will stand Australia in good stead for the future and they are all still so young ( besides Darchinyan ).

    Dib , Kickett , Katsidis , Zappavinga , Darchinyan (not so young..but a "little guy") , Geale ( still young) ...

    Some of these guys have held World Title already and I see others in the future for those that havent ..

    Who said the cupboard was bare ..

    Through in Mundine , Haumono , Tupou , Pittman , Meehan , Ndou , etc ...

    We ooze class ..

    They all sound like fighters you see at the local RSL and sailing clubs.

    Darchinyan is really the only guy on the elite level though, with Katsidis not far behind.

    Dibb really shot himself in both feet with his last outing, and Kickett isn't looking so shithot at present.

    Well I am, I am a fan of any country.But I just don't think Australia is producing world class talent at the moment.
    They hyped up Kicket as the new big hope and he gets KO'ed in 1 round by a local.

    There's a tendency to hype fighters up way too prematurely.
