    From memory he was a 4x Aussie Champ, 3x State champ, Commonwealth champ & had 3 unsuccessful world title shots, a handful of FOTYs & holds a victory over Hall Of Fame member Paul Ferreri, retiring with a record of 46-11-4 (26 KOs)

    Nah he'd be talking Aussie HOF and with good reason. Miller was a top fighter.

    Didn't he go the full 12 with Jeff Fenech in his prime??

    I didn't even know there was an Aussie boxing hall of fame, shows you the extent of my knowledge of the local scene.

    Yeah he went the distance with Fenech prior to Jeff winning his 1st title. He fought on well past his prime but was still good enough to beat just about everyone on the local scene. His fight with Danny McGrail (Sherro's trainer) was an absolute ripper.

    I think originally he was from England. Not sure on Perth.

    I think a bloke like Troy Waters has every bit as good a record as Tony Miller and he's not in the Aussie HOF.

    Remember seeing a few of mad dog's fights live late in his career. The Mad dog monicker suited him perfect, was a real good scrapper.

    Did he fight for a world title? Even once. I dont recall that.

    Fought Michael Ayers for the IBO Lightweight title in 1999. Also had two unsuccessful attempts at the WBC International Featherweight title.
