Another Aussie guy I just noticed I'm missing a pic of is Ron Richards, Australian and British Empire middleweight champion, rated in the top 10 in the 1930s and 1940s by Ring magazine. He was also Australian heavyweight champ.

He and Fred Henneberry, who's rated by TBCB, had some real wars, according to my research and BoxRec info. Richards won their 10-bout, 115-round series, 6-3-1. The odd thing is that there must have either been some really bad blood or a lot of home cooking ... because Henneberry lost five times on fouls!
