What a great division this has been for Australians over the years.

We all had heroes when we were young mine was Lionel Rose. Should he be on the list, I don't know but he did beat the great Harada, in Japan. and then took the title to the mexicans, something that Harada wouldn't do. He was beaten by the great Reuben Olivares in about 5 or 6 rounds i think. So he is maybe not a top 10 all timer but certainly around that mark.

What do others think?
