Anthony Mundine is laughing off the recent challenge by fellow Aussie, and former junior welterweight champion, Lovemore Ndou. Mundine recently vacated the WBA super middleweight title to drop down in weight for a run in the middleweight division.
Ndou is coming off a decision loss to IBF junior welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi. Mundine got off the deck to win a decision over Crazy Kim at the catch-weight of 164-pounds. For whatever reason, Ndou feels that he can beat the much larger Mundine and wants the fight to take place at junior middleweight. Even if Mundine took the challenge seriously, there are serious doubt that he can ever get down to 154-pounds. Punchers give Mundine the most trouble, and Ndou is not even a puncher at 140, and he will be much less of a puncher at 154 or any weight above junior welter.
"It's not a matter of size, it's a matter of skill," N'Dou told The Herald. "He says he wants to take on the best middleweights in the world, but let's see how he goes against a junior-welterweight first. I would give him a boxing lesson. I'm old enough and small enough for Mundine to see as a prospective opponent."
