    Mate, with all the rivalry & nit picking that goes on in boxing, & with Rays adversaries, I still consider him to be one of the senior citizens of Oz boxing.
    Having said that,,,, No.1 is carruthers KO 1 toweel.. ? He's off with the pixies there.
    What's incredible about a round 1 KO?. It proved nothing in that fight apary ftom the win.
    They went 15 in the return.

    Geez, Fammo knocking Harada out of the ring in V2 gives Jimmy & Vic a cold.

    They didn't go 15 it went 10.
    Carruthers travelled to the other side of the world and beat an undisputed, undefeated world champ who had beaten one of the all-time greats to become world champ.
    The fight was one of the most one-sided world title fights in history and an Aussie was the victor.
