rightoh lets have some talk.. best australian fighter never to win a world title..

paul briggs, tony mundine sr and les darcy are the first that come to my mind but im not much good with history.

who you guys say?

in recent time it would have to be briggs, but like you mg im not an australian boxing historian

dave sands career 1941- 1952 held three Australian titles simultaneously (middleweight, light heavyweight and heavy wight) whilst staying at the middleweight weight. Winning the heavyweight title weighing in at about 70Kg dave did win a commenwealth middleweight title and had a record of 97 wins - 10 losses - 1 draw with 63 ko's and died in a car crash when i THINK was going to be heading to America for a world title shot

wow that's a pretty crazy story. would make a decent movie

im sure eddy mcguire would be up for the lead role...

sorry i think what i said could have been a bit clearer he didn't die on the way to america but when his next fight was goining to be over there hope this cleared it up

dave sands obviously, he would have won a world title anyway if he wasnt killed in a truck crash age 26.....he was ranked no.3 middleweight in the world at the time.....
