A Warragul boy! and will be long remembered as the greatest indigenous boxer of all times. Mundine is a joke compared to him!

RIP Lionel Rose

BOXER NAMED LIONEL ROSE

There once was an Aussie boxer named Lionel Rose
Who keeped his opponents on their toes
No reprieve from his punches did they receive
And he always had a surprise jab up his sleeve
Rose's opponents were keeped on their toes, when he delivered his tko's

You'd be talking about the younger Anthony "Mouth" Mundine ... The Muslim. His father Tony Mundine was a good boxer and a quiet modest man.

Yes the man certainly had his demons thats for sure,he battled the bottle had a bad heart in earlier times had a stroke in 07 but i can tell you one thing,although he wasnt perfect and god knows who is,he was a gentleman and a good family man, he would always have time for everyone
