 Michael's Tribute to Dave Sands—
Dave's superiority in Australia was such that in 1946 he was acclaimed as the best boxer in the top three weight divisions, even though he was only a middleweight himself.
Dave was a fighter who possessed a rare quality in his fistic genius which put him far ahead of the common art of the professional boxer.
To have seen him in action made the fan himself a celebrity, because he was privileged to witness the greatest middleweight boxer in the world, perhaps the greatest to have ever pulled on a glove.
