    His old man Tony Mundine was better, held the Australian middle, light heavy and heavyweight titles as well as the commonwealth middle, fought for world middle title and fought names like Carlos Monzon and Emile Griffith.

    Other Aussie legends that would give Tszyu a run for his money are, Les Darcy, Tommy Burns, George Barnes,Vic Patrick and Jeff Fenech.

        I think Harding was good but not great despite winning the title, a bout in which he was nearly killed before turning it around. I agree with the other names, Sands especially, he was very good

          I saw old Jeff Harding a couple years ago in Redfern, Sydney. He's not lookin too great now, but man, **** he could take a hit! That fight against Andreis was awesome. Heard this Dave Sands was good but before my time.

          Choc mundine is good but he ain't got nothing on Steve Irwin. Both tend to speak a lot of **** too so it might be a close match.

            to clarify, tszyu IS part asian. his grandfather was korean. so he's russian and korean, but is an australian citizen which is why he has that cool accent.

                Yes, he is the best Australian ever. But the best 140- pounder EVER... you've gotta be kidding. Saying he's the best Jr. Welter ever is just a way to hype Ricky hatton up even more, because Hatton beat Tszyu.

                    "Everyone"? Come on, he was a great champ, there's no arguing with that, but you're the first person i've ever heard say that he's the best ever. That's preposterous.

                      You make a valid point, and as a Russian, your beef is legit. Tszyu is the best Australian citizen to ever fight would be accurate, though.
