My dad loved him.
He said he was a real thinker in the ring.
He gave the art of Pugilism in Australia a good name.
Clean cut gentleman and fought fair and square.
To a warrior from a fan, Rest in peace.

I just read that now. I can remember his fights with Harada. A true legend of the sport.

I just watched the replay of Sam Goodman stopping former world title challenger Juan Miguel Elorde in round eight at the Hordern Pavlova 😁
Does anyone know his next fight?

I got home from work one day , listening to the news on tv to hear Earn Mc Qulian had arranged a fight with Rose with a mate who had been home in bed for a few days with the flu. I phoned him to ask why he never mentioned it, and he knew nothing about the fight.
Anyway he fronted up (at Souths juniors) so did I and he took Rose to 10 rounds. 😜

Does anyone remember Channel 9 at Artarmon where as kids we would go and watch the wrestling live ~ fake blood and guts. 🤣
Killer Kowalski, Spiros Arion, Ronny Miller, Skull Murphy, Roy Heffernan.
Who was the sleeper?
We would get a feed of potato scallops and eat them whilst bodies were flying everywhere.
Check out the bloke with a ciggy in his hand whilst wrestlers were getting smashed next to him 🤣

How foxports and you lot compare him to some sort of 50-0 Floyd Mayweather is embarrassing. Having said that RIP 💐
