    Feel free to post your teams of the future.

    Imagine the Rosters that would be on offer?
    Could Tony Soprano get on The Varsity Team?

    The Kiwis were never ****. New Zealand is like a vacation home for the real countries. Nothing serious goes on there. They wear masks when the boss lady says so.

    Good enough mate!

    I guess I meant name the top 5-10 fighters each country has past, and present, and then 5 of each etc. I wasn't clear obviously.

    Australia - Jimmy Caruthers, Lionel Rose, Jonny Famechon, Jeff Fenech, Kostya Tszyu, Vic Darchynian… Jeff Harding as a mention for pure guts n determination personifying Aussie fighting spirit…
    Doubling up on some weights there…
    I’d add Jai Opetaia as our best heavier weight….(Can’t remember if we has someone else in late 1800’s, early 1900’s?)
    Few others maybe from the old times, was it Bracken, Burns, Dave Sands, Ron Richards, Ambrose Palmer and George Barnes from memory…. Hector Thompson and Paul Ferrari…
    I could add a few more names of fighters who I loved watching and respect no end but would fall well short against the best of the best…
    Handful of amateurs also possibly?

    Good luck trying to pick one only USA heavyweight….

    In recent years Australia is ahead on the score board against US fighters.

    Hahahaaaaaaa….
    You’re gonna ride this for years aren’t ya???
    BEST for me was Kambosos over Teo, I was so happy that night…
    Troo Aussie underdog spirit, I did like Spark over Montanna Love also, gotta admit, I gave him a punchers chance but didn’t really see that one coming, that also made my day…
