Just the films. --[[User:Ric|Ric]] 18:25, 21 Aug 2005 (CDT)

Check. The boxing kangaroo came into favour as an emblem of sorts around the time of the America's cup yacht race and has been championed ever since. You may find PictureAustralia of interest - www.pictureaustralia.org - if you haven't already seen it.

== Australian Boxing Hall of Fame ==

Nla: If you have any info on the history of the [[Australian Boxing Hall of Fame]], and who are inducted, please go to its page and add that info. Thanks. --[[User:Ric|Ric]] 13:41, 5 Sep 2005 (CDT)

No worries - you might want to change it to the Australian NATIONAL Boxing Hall of Fame. Cheers.

== External Links to Aussie Library ==

Your links to an Australian library really does us little good. Such as you just did in the [[Nat Fleischer]] page. It is one thing to name the source, but the library link is useless to the rest of us in the world who do not have access to that library. Why have you made these links? --[[User:Ric|Ric]] 22:43, 26 October 2006 (CDT)

hi Ric - I've been away from this for some time.

I thought the library links through to the free service might be useful to someone - even if only to establish bibliographies of works about a boxer (I'm a librarian). If you click on the "get this item" links you can find out which libraries hold it but if you're not a member of those libraries, you can ask your library about getting it in on "interlibrary loan", or check out the other options offered to purchase online via bookshops etc. Sorry if this wasn't obvious...

Cheers.

'''Albert Griffiths (aka 'Young Griffo')''' was ''"Not known as much of a puncher, but his skill was uncanny. He had wonderful headwork, almost inpenetrable defense, dazzling feints, and rapid two-handed methods of attack. The cleverest boxers and hardest punchers were made to look ridiculous when exchanging swats with him. He had a dislike of training and was deemed lazy. There were times he got drunk before a match [such as the Ike Weir and Tommy Tracy bouts]."'' From the March 6, 1916 ''Tacoma Daily News'', written by Tommy Sullivan.

In 2003, 'Young Griffo' was inducted into the [[Australian National Boxing Hall of Fame]].
