    Dude, I'm really not interested in comparing our fighters with yours. The reason being because I've got no interest in yours.

    I'm enjoying Vic Darchinyan's reign as unified 115lb champ & look forward to seeing what he can do at bantamweight.

    In terms of up & comers, I'm interested in seeing how Daniel Geale (Olympian & Cth Games gold medalist) & Lenny Zappa (Cth games medalist who Gary Shaw is interested in promoting in the US) will develop.

    Both have their limitations but like I said, I'm looking forward to seeing how they go.

    It's great that you have so many up & comers. I hope you enjoy watching them as much as I've enjoyed watching Darchinyan's rise to the top.

    We haven't just turned out home grown world champions, brutha. We've turned out two undisputed world champions who fought their entire professional careers out of this country.

    I think Britains have a very distorted view of Australian boxing by virtue of the fact most of our top guys never fought there in their primes.

    Beyond the names I've mentioned, we've turned out Jeff Harding, Paul Briggs, Danny Green, Mundine, Sakio Bika, Troy & Guy Waters, Lovemore Ndou, Rocky Katsidis, Robbie Peden and Skinny & Hussy Hussein. None of them needed to build careers in Europe to achieve what they did. I'm not trying to overstate the case for our guys, but when you combine their achievements with those of Fenech, King Kostya & Vic there's a lot to be proud of. Particularly for a country that has a population half that of California.

    Anyone who suggests that Australians shouldn't relish the achievements of the likes of Vic & Kostya because they happen to have come here from other countries should be condemned as far as I'm concerned.

    Seeing top shelf talents like them win undisputed world championships is about as good as it gets.

    I know you'd like to believe that Australian fighters need European experience in order to improve themselves. I think it's pretty clear from the names I've mentioned above that they don't.

    I will do an Aussie section - 3 mins or 30 mins. I have to get somebody on air but Geale, Mundine, Green will do. Fenech maybe, Harding, Bugner.
    I will put right this outrage.

    Adios.

    Judging by the way every post you make is riddled with spelling mistakes & grammatical errors, I'm going to assume you are a poorly educated person of low level intelligence.

    If you want some of your own quotes back, how about these:

    - You said Tszyu & Vic "jumped ship after having a bit of success in the Olympics". My response - Neither of them enjoyed success in the Olympics. Both of them did however have excellent amateur careers - Tszyu was world amateur champion in 1991.

    - You said "having success in the Olympics doesn't make them Aussie". I say fighting their whole professional careers out of Australia & then taking out citizenship of this country makes them as Australian as anyone else. I suggest you keep your bigoted views in this area to yourself.

    - You claim the sport in Europe "is matching and in most cases out doing America". I say you are delusional and kidding yourself.

    - You cite guys like Pittman & Kickett as being among our best. I say these statements confirm your ignorance & lack of knowledge of Australian boxing.

    In summary, you clearly know sfa about Australian boxing so why don't you do us all a favour & stfu?

    Do an interview with Vic.

    Spread the word on a genuine undisputed world boxing champion.

    See if you can get a scoop on who his next opponent will be while you're at it.

    Oh **** im debating boxing with a grammarian now :patsch ,

    Hey Bunce , Here's a few questions to ask a few Aussie fighters if a you get the chance ,

    If you get Pittman on ask him why he has resorted to fighting guys that couldn't lace his gloves after he got done up by Sturm and ask him of his future plans .

    If you get Cool Willie Kickett on ask him if he was surprised he got sparked out by that lebo kid ? , if he has worked out where he went wrong ? and was he bricking it during the post fight riot ? .

    If you get Briggys on ask him if there is any truth in the rumour he is back in the ring helping his kid brother sparring and if he is to himsef return in a contender sort of deal ?

    If you get Danny Green on ask him why he ducked that Argie fella when he had outshone Drews to claim the WBA L/heavy title ,? also if he REALLY had a vision telling him not to defend said title and fight Mundine for cash instead ? .

    Speaking of Mundine, :patsch , can you ask him what he has ever done to self proclaim himself as the Best there has ever been besides getting KTFO by heavy handed Sven Ottke and running down to middle at the though of fighting kessler again ?

    :good

    Jesus, Buncey was here! I retract my standard generic insult. In my defense I will state its a reflex action, like giving Marcus **** for being Taswegian.

    Hey Buncey, interview Mundine, I'm sure your regular viewers could do with a laugh.

    I was born overseas like many other proud Australians like Tszyu, to say Kostya is not an Aussie is a low comment but expected from someone just looking to flame here.
