Kessler VS Mundine

It would help if he actually threw some punches though… He doesn't throw enough. He should have stopped Soliman within 4 rounds.

I’ll say this, his chin might be shit, but it’s really hard to hit him flush, he has fantastic defence. It would help if he actually threw some punches though…

Mundine is blessed with Speed and talent, but he lacks heart and the ability to take a punch. I wish Mundine was the real deal, but sadly he isn't. Kessler will stop Mundine if they meet again. Sure Mundine has done well up until now fighting not so good fighters.

well he's rated at number 3 by BoxRec, he's looking for a big name fight and if he wins we'll all see how much progress he has made

Kessler would beat mundine again , only more decisively. I admire mundine for making such progress after having no amateur experience, yet his losses to siaca and ottke cannot be over-looked simply because he beat two average fighters in green and soliman.He'll always be a top 10 contender but nothing more.

Yeah, middleweight would suit him more.

Yeah soliman should of kept going at a tittle shot in the middleweight division

Nah, no excuses for Soliman. He was well beaten. Mundine looked a lot bigger though, like a light heavy compared to Soliman who looked like a middle.

Solimans never been stopped before he's fought at Super middle weight alot in his carrer and mundines not a big supper middleweight (weight wise) no excuses for Soliman

Mundine's quite good but Kessler has already beaten him. He'd do it again. Calzaghe would also beat him. With those two guys in the division, Mundine is just another alphabet champ. Mundine v Soliman looked like a light heavy against a middleweight. Soliman had nothing to hurt Mundine with.

I can't help feeling it's got more than a little to do with the fact that he's an ex rugby player made good rather than talent, ability or, most importantly, results. It's been a shit division for years though with only one standout fighter in the last half dozen years .... if he's been in the rankings I'd put it more down to that than anything. I personally think you significantly underestimate the actual tallent he possesses. What makes him look so bad is getting KO'ed by Ottke and losing to Siaca. In both cases sheer inconsistancy playes a role i believe. But there are other factors as well. Against Ottke he was extremely inexperienced for being in a championship fight. He was actually doing very well and had Ottke in all sorts of trouble. Unfortunately he allowed himself to get cought with a perfect shot to the temple. Against Siaca (his worst loss - haven't seen it) he was supposedly severly hampered by a hamstring injury (i believe). But despite that it IS considered a poor performance - even by his fans. With added experience i think he's becomming more consistant. He's looked impressive in his latest couple of fights. I think now more than ever before he deserves the high rankings he's getting.

Where have you been? He's a 2 time world champion (Interim) are you from earth or another planet?

He isn't, so he shouldn't. Seriously, when on earth did Mundine become rated? If you ask the Ring and manny others it actually goes back quite a long time. Must be close to five years, where he's almost constantly been in the ring top-5. Not bad for a guy you obviously think very litle of.
