On what basis??

I'm glad you ask...

Mundine has only ever held the WBA "regular, as in I'm not even considered the best in my organisation, title" and Katsidis holds the WBO Iterim title...

Danny Green won the WBC Interim Title so that gets him on the list!

Good point - I forgot about his interim reign.

Yeah. Troy relinquished the title when he got no respect for it. He was a pretty good pug who had a couple of shots at real titles. Shame he came from such a disaster of a family.

Another one coming up! On September 14 Shannan taylor and Sonni Michael Angelo duke it out for the (be still, my beating heart!) WBF Middleweight title!

Whoever wins it, it is another meaningless title held by an Aussie.

Lets hope Shannan wins and retires

dosent this all prove what a crock of shit boxing has become I mean I think im justified in putting MARIO MARLANOS WWF title back in 1972 not forgetting his fine TAG TEAM WORLD TITLE against the masked intruder and the Sarge at Mornington Netball centre.
I mean we could start on great stadiums that these titles have been won
Rooty ill RSL
Knox Tennis Centre
etc etc etc
Boxing needs some of these alphabets to piss off

^I actually thought this was a bit of fun. No one takes these belts too seriously, yeah it would be better if they weren't around but hey.

Calm down mate! It's all fun.

By the way, have you ever been inside Rooty Hill RSL club? It makes some major holiday resorts look like shacks.

Lot of money in those poker machines.

Youth titles have an age limit of 23 years.

Now another one!

Shannon Taylor, WBF Middleweight Champion!

:x

OK. That was a short reign.

Here is another one! Tony Wehbee, WBF Super Bantamweight Champion.

Interestingly, the man Wehbee beat was Fahsan 3K Battery (Don't look at me! I didn't name him!) who fights Steve Molitor on October 27 for the IBF Super Bantamweight title.

Granted, it is 12 years since Wehbee beat him.

ROBBIE PEDAN IBF SUPER FEATHER WEIGHT CHAMP

What about Rocky Balboa...oops I mean Mattioli

Oh boy oh boy have you make me remember some of the early 70's wrestlers from the 70's. Mario had a wrestling gym in a suburb of Melbourne (Thornbury - I now live here). As kids we'd go up there and hang around outside hoping to see some wrestlers. Spotted Mario there once........what a huge guy he was. And that mangled forehead was real Getting your head smashed into the turnbuckle a few thousand times tends to do that you you

Killer Carl Cox, Petros Skapidis Mark Lewin, Larry O'Dea, Ronnie Miller.......remember any of these names?

Jeff Malcolm won WBF title didnt he? I know manning galloway beat him for WBO title at Jupiters. sorry just checked and already mentioned

Mick King I believe, held the Australian version of the world middleweight title although in those days things were a bit less organised than today...........or maybe they weren't

I know the Poms claim him, but how about Ruby Bob Fitzsimmons? He was born in England but left there for New Zealand when nine years old. After finishing his blacksmith apprenriceship he moved to Sydney and learnt boxing from Larry Foley, moving to America ten years later to go on to be the first man to win titles in three divisions. I believe he fought for the Australian Heavyweight title when that was a big deal (Sam Langford held it for a while). Not an Australian, but with strong links to this country.

Yeah there's a case to be made for several countried to claim 'ol Ruby. Although I see him prediminently as English

Tommy Burns is the only Australian Heavyweight champion who was also a world heavyweight champion.
