Australia's GOAT for sure. My old man fought him and was knocked out in 5. Dad said he was just in another class
Amazing he is my great great uncle. I loved it. I heard how great he was. He was great. Thanks for putting it on youtube. i have to show my mother she will love it too.
Pauline waters are we related he's my pop
Hi Pauline, i am searching for a Vincent Sands, he is shiftin sands son of the fighting sands family i believe he is my great grandfather. Ny grandfather is the one that the sands sons adopted the names from i think. I am hoping that you or someone in your family may know of them. Was hoping to find out more. Thank you very much.
I’m mates with his great great grandson
You should be proud ...I am and I've posting youtube clips, newspaper clips anything I can find for years and I still send it over to the Americans everytime they praise Sugar Ray Robinson, Marciano ....Ali skiting about Robinson as the greatest Pound for Pound ....Sands was in my books ....we were always talking about him as a young bloke ...I'm 72 now and I'm still talking [bragging] about ...I will continue to get him the recognition he deserves .........he was a science fighter
To deadly sister you pop was a real killer
Great individual and magnificent fighter . I used to listen to his fights when I was in short pants. He'd win a fight I later read and sit on Central Station late into the night waiting for a train to take him home to Newcastle . He died,at 28 I think, in a truck accident. As good as any surely whether as a boxer or anything else. Fine family too God bless him & them
Best rendition of Pachelbel Canon I have ever heard! And what a way to use it!
should make a movie of dave sands
They reckon he used to hold back in some fights,to not scare all his meal tickets away,he would of beat,La Motta and Graziana and probably beat Robinson too,he made Bobo Olson look stupid
That was great to see mate thanks for putting it up

Hello my brother, great po was Thomas Ritchie, ya pop was my nans 1st cuz, he was our greatest ever sportsman, just shame Australia not real good with own history, but thankfully finally world will see how deadly he was..
Well done, well done indeed.
Amazing quality!
My mother speaks very highly of this fellow and had spent quite a bit of time growing up with him also. My grandfather is ray "Mustard" coleman another champion australian boxer...they certainly dont make them as tough these days as to how boxers were back in the 40s and 50s ect..respect.
My good friend Trevor King fought Ray Coleman back in the days and still have a photo on my wall of Dave Sands sparring my other friend Neville Pointer. Yeah they sure don't make them like they use too
rays my grandad too !
@87aiden its an honor, He was one of the best fighters this country has ever had. You must be very proud of him =)
That's my great grandfather
He is my great uncle I am Dennis Ritchies grandson . Pop Dennis was a commonwealth champion boxer he never spoke much about it . I guess we are a family of achievers but not braggers :) Miss my pop everyday
George his brother is my great grandfather. We must be related
Great fighter. Sugar Ray Robinson the middleweight champ of the world in the early fifties didn't want to fight him. Although he was a great fighter he never earned any money. I think he got 90 pounds for a defence of a British Empire title defence, in his last fight before he died.He was British Empire Champ for tears, most of the top ten contenders avoided him. He got killed driving a truck full of sleeper timber I believe. He had to cut & haul timber to pay the rent. My mate Gordon Meredith was a number 2 Lightweight in the ratings in 1952
My mate Gordon Meredith knew him well as most of his brothers.
Dear gosh what’s with Australian boxers , rip les Darcy sands
Absolutely great tribute. What's the name of the song you used for this vid?
Vic C Pachelbels Canon
My Nan Josephine Pearl Moran/Ritchie always said her cousin was the greatest and now thankfully the world can finally see why!!
Deadliest Goori T(D)hungutti Biripai Binghai sportsman ever
The already do ...he was inducted into the American Boxing Hall of Fame .....and I've been a one man Dave Sands fan club for some years now .....Sugar Ray Robinson dodged him because his manager said he'd lose his title if he fights Sand and Jake Lamotta [Raging Bull] said he wanted a lot of money to fight him ...he was what is known as a scientific fighter .....fight with the brain ..
