Since 1990, a long list of talented fighters have represented the nation.. Who's the best of the lot?? Add more if you need.
Kostya Tszyu, Vic Darchynian, Danny Green, Anthony Mundine, Jeff Fenech, Michael Katsidis, Sam Soliman, Robbie Peden etc etc etc etc.
Take into account the risk, O/S resume, caliber of opponents, defences etc. :good

Since 1990 would be Tszyu, if he qualifies. Pretty damn simple.

bullshit. fenech in his prime never got beaten by a journeyman.....tszu did. tszu had more talent, but wasted it through inactivity, and chin....

Well he just didn't have much of a resume post 1990 - the controversial draw with Nelson is it.

in their prime fenech was more domminant in his divisions....he beat hall of famers..young ones. bashed them all. even nelson.
fenechs demise wasnt from a punch, it was psycological, from a bad decision. before that, fenceh murdered them all.

Hey I'm not arguing about Fenech's greatness, just his era. It wasn't the last 20 years.

Fenech with Tszyu a very close second.

Really it's a no brainer when your talking post 1990 - it has to be Tszyu, followed by Vic.
Fenech's the best Australian through the 80's and still my favourite Aussie fighter of all time!

I should have read the thread properly. If its since 1990 then definitely Tszyu.

I know, I know, I have my feelings on that too, but technically speaking, their Aussies and pre-dominantly speaking campaigned out of here.

But if they hadn't been successful would we "adopted" them as "aussies"?
