    Famechon moved to Australia at age 5 in 1950 and had his fist pro fight in 1961, 11 years after he'd permanently settled here.

    Famechon was never a "foreign boxer" because at 5 he'd never had a fight prior to moving to Australia.

    Your trolling would be much more effective if your thread title actually linked up with your "argument." :good

    Also - and this is why he was initially of interest to me - he is probably (and this is based off my own independent research, have never found anything to corroborate it, but my educated hunch is quite strong) the real-life basis for the character of "Memphis Kid" in the pugilistic literary classic The Professional by WC Heinz.

    If anybody has yet to read that, by the way, do. :good

    Vic Darch has got to be up there, won loads real world titles in 2 weight classes (undisputed in one of them), and ventured up further with a do or die attitude and would fight anyone...Something KT didn't do.

    Idiots like you make me laugh. According to some Tszyu is an Aussie when he is a world champion blasting people out but when he abandons his kids and goes back to Russian to hang out with cheap tarts he is a Russian who used to live here. So is he still an Aussie guys or is he now a Russian. Which one is it ? Well ?:lol:
