Top 5 in no particular order:

Dave Sands
Jeff Fenech
Kostya Tszyu
Johnny Famechon
Les Darcy

Kostya and Famechion might not count cause they weren't born in Aus and in that case I would replace them with Lionel Rose and this will probably be unpopular but Jeff Harding.

My top 5, without rererring to the boxrec ratings so go easy on me.

Jeff Fenech. What might have been if he had stayed at featherweight.

Les Darcy. Fought terrific opponents often way above his weight class

Lionel Rose. I always thought taking the title in Japan against a great who was fighting at his best weight was some acheivement. His victory over Chu Chu Castillo, who also became champion later was legendary

Kostya Tzu. He deserves to get in for KOing Zab Judah alone.

Jimmy Curruthers. Winning a title a long way from home. Worth 10 interim and alphabet titles in my opinion.

Unlucky to miss
