    Geale hits like a girl and can't even block punches with his fake guard so weak is he. everyone was just able to punch right through it. hes gonna get manhandled and pushed around once he steps up so bad i already feel sorry for him..

    I've now come to the conclusion, as I'm sure many others have reading this thread:

    You've mastered the Art of Sucking Cocks.

    There's better money to be made hunting Aborigines for the Gobment.

    Australian boxers are shot before they turn pro. The kangaroos beat it out of them in sparring

    Of course I did. Couldn't believe it when Boyd Skully stuck ANOTHER shrimp on the barby. INSANE! ATG competitor.

    It's mostly a population and a popularity thing. Australia only has about 1/3 as many people as the UK to begin with, and while boxing is somewhat popular, there are other sports that are far more so. That said, they've had quite a few champs recently (although some were guys who relocated to Australia from elsewhere) - Katsidis, Zappavigna, Dib, Darchinyan, Geale, Green, Mundine, Ben Rabah, N'Dou, etc. Considering they only have 20 million people, that ain't bad at all. I'd guess that in the last 10 years, Australia has had far more than 1/3 as many titlists as the UK.

    Saying it's because of Aussies themselves is ludicrous. Despite the size of the population, they usually end up near the top of the medals counts in the summer Olympics because they're so competitive in so many different sports. I doubt there's a more sports-crazy country in the world.

    We're talking boxing not archery and swimming. Weak minds, bodies, and jaws render you incapable in boxing.

    what about all the Serbian, Croatian, Greek, and Polynesian immigrants in Australia then?? are they "genetically weak" too?

    they lack gyms and competent trainers, end of story.

    are you mentally ill? Australians are probably most athletic people in the world, while brits are most unathletic .Britain's population is 60 mil and they won 47 medals in Beijing and Australia's population is 20 mil and they won 46 medals.

    I really thought Stacey Lawnsgower was going to take it this year, but he just didn't have the right coals on hand. Boyd really knows how to handle his shrimps.

    as you say most of the fighters you mention arent even australian and none of them have been the best in their respective divisions just alphabet title holders.the last real world champion we had was fenech which is **** poor and in this time the uk have had many fighters in this time.
    its embarrassing

    The population of Australia is 22m. That isnt big. The population of the UK is over 60m so youd expect more champions.
