Aussie P4P number 1 : Anthony Mundine.

2008 WBA light heavy title winner : Paul Briggs

2008 WBC light heavy title winner : Danny Green

2008 WBC middleweight champion : Anthony Mundine

2008 WBC super flyweight champion: Vic Darchiniyan

Im expecting Katsidis to loose, if he fights Pacqaio next year, which is what im hearing.

Australia is going to be pretty dominant in the light heavy, super middle and middle weight divisions. Expect Mundine to hold onto his super middle WBA title, and go down to middle weight where he will win the WBC title. Then Danny Green will dispose of Tarver in a WBC title fight. Paul the Hurricane Briggs will win his title elimator WBA next month, and then win the title next year for the first time.

We are starting a golden year in Australian boxing in a few months.

Also i would like to say i hope Katsidis doesn't lose, because it would make the year so much more golden.

Anyone who disagrees, well lets have a debate. Im confident in what i said. Confident in Mundines ability, Green to beat Tarver, if you have seen tarver fight lately you would probably agree. And also for Briggs to win the WBA title to much power, and the same story for Vic in the lower weight.

This is more wishful thinking. I'm surprised Katsidis is not mentioned more on your post, he has the name and the ability to line up big fights in the next year.

Traver is no Paul Murdoch and still has much better boxing ability than Green.

As for Mundine, he's battling with his vision at the moment and hasn't been cleared to fight again. So let's not start writing history yet.


Vic would get out boxed by Cristian Mijares for the WBC Super Fly Weight Belt.
What about Billy Dib????At least he's young.

What about Billy Dib????At least he's young.I honestly can't see Billy Dib winning a world title in the next year. I don't think he will get the chance to fight for one. I hope he does because he has the ability. But i don't think he has the purse or the name to lure in a world title fight.

Whereas Mundine will fight again. Im not going to count the man out like i did with him against Green and Soliman. He has stated it has improved heaps.

But if it panned out this way, what a year it would be.

As far as Katsidis goes. I got no idea. He has the world at his feet though and could easily become a pound for pound fighter.

Dib gets a Title shot if he wins his next fight according to Golden Boy, he would fight for the title on the Mosley vs. Cotto Card.

I haven't seen anything of him to be honest. But, Mosley couldn't blow any more smoke up his ass if the tried. Time will tell.

not really agreeing with much of your post to be honest ultimate.

brently raised a few good issues.. ill try to add later

A country dominating a division would be for example Mexico in the current lightweight & Super Bantamweight divisions, with both the #1 & #2 fighters being Mexican.

Sure Mundine has the potential to beat anyone in the Middle Weight division, but that's only one fighter, it's not like he'd be fighting another Australian for the 1 Ranking in the Middle weight division.

As for the Light-heavy Weight, that might be possible, but Green is in his mid thirties and Briggs needs a good win in his next fight. To boot these guys stand in their way:
Bernard Hopkins, Clinton Woods, Glen Johnson, Antonio Tarver, Roy Jones Jr who have all fought tough opposition through their careers. I'm not trying to be negative, don't me wrong, Dominate is a pretty strong word, I think competitive would be better at this stage and we'll wait and see what happens.

Yes i spose we are going to rely on Mundine. And yes dominate is a strong word, and i probably should use ultra competitive or something like that. But showing Tarver's recent form, if Green gets a fight with him which is likely, amid reports coming out that the two camps are finalizing negotiations then i favour him to win that fight. I can't see him going down in Perth. As for Briggs, we all know he has the potential, he just has to put it together for 12 rounds, not 10 or 8. Billy Dib has been promised a fight, but i don't know whether he will get one. He has the ability to win a world title, i have seen him fight, extreme hand speed. If Dib captures a world title than this could be even better, i would trust golden boy, because Oscar has the ability to make this stuff happen.

Im interested in seeing how Mundine goes next year. He is hitting his peak. If Calzaghe beats Kess, i would like to see Mundine fight him, because i am adament if Mundine turns up on the night, the one we have seen against Soliman and Green, well he would win. As for Kess, im a bit more circumspect but think its 50 50, but more of a risky fight simply for the extra power. I would like Calzaghe to win and then Mundine to fight him. Although a move down to middleweight would be another option. Would like to see him fight Pavlik or Taylor, both would propel him to American fame. All well, lets just see how this eye recovers which is recovering well according to reports.

Aussie boxing is looking good.

True, but I want Kessler to beat Joe. Kessler is a stand up guy, came down under gave Mundine a shot and gave us a good fight to watch. I think if Mundine wants greatness, he needs to beat Kessler in a rematch, that would do more for his legacy.

Do you think he could do it? I was a bit circumspect. But just listening to that right hand on soliman in the 2nd round is frightening, it sounds so loud, and vicious. He has the speed, his head held up in the first fight. I really think he could do it. What about u?

Also mundine mentioned after beating Soliman, that he offered Kessler another 80, 20 split and Kessler wanted nothing to do with him.

Your thoughts mate?

After he beat Soliman, Kessler had already had a fight with Librado Andrade lined up. Plus Kessler has been chasing a fight with Joe since he beat Mundine. Look at it this way, sure a 80/20 split, but he has to fight in Australia and fight a guy he's already beaten, not really a good move for kesslers legacy and after all Mundine's not an easy fight for anyone. I can't blame kessler for not chasing a rematch with Mundine. It's not like he didn't beat him the first time.

I know Mundine hit Sam pretty hard, but a victory over sam is nothing to rave about. My Ten year old daughter hits harder than Sam.
Mundine really needs to just stop importing fighters into Australia and fight in the USA on PPV undercards. Look at the exposure Katsidis has gotten after two fights, he's more well know to US audience now after that one fight than Mundine is. But, Anthony has one fought on an undercard once in Canada. I doubt his ego would let him. It's a shame, he was all the ability in the world to do everything you say.

what do you think kirkpatrick?

Mundine has virtually blown his chance of World domination saying that the Americans got what they deserved after 911! No word on how his eye his faring, but I can't see Mundine defeating either Kessler or Calzaghe! Kessler was so confident he came over here as Champion and beat Mundine convincingly. Mundine has only travelled once abroad against Ottke and doesn't seem comfortable fighting abroad. Mundine always talks about World domination and being one of the the best P4P fighters... instead he fights Argentinian dude Zamora with 12-23 or something like that record who took him all 12 rounds and 45year old Nishizawa dropped him! Come on!

Word. Mundine actually fought in Canada on some undercard against some bum years ago. He won't fight on Undercards in the states so that makes it hard for him to get a name. Katsidis has a much bigger name in the states of his one fight on the Wright Hopkins Undercard than Mundine.
With all this talk of his eye, I think Mundine is pretty much done.
