From a doghouse boxing interview and no, I'm not making this up:
AC: Is there anything you’d like to say to your fans or the boxing public in general?
AM: To my fans, stay real, keep it real for me. We’ve got a big year in 2008 and we’ll definitely be having a big year in 2009. I’m looking to fight the best of the best. I hear Calzaghe is fighting Hopkins, I want to fight the best of the best. The Calzaghes, the Jermain Taylors, Kelly Pavlik, all these guys. I feel that I’m in their league, so not only can I match ‘em, I can beat ’em. I really feel that I’m the Pretty Boy Floyd of the super middleweight division.
If there is a bigger c.nt than this in boxing I would be suprised
You can't argue with his ability, unfortunatley, is IQ is less than his weight in kilos. Its the lack of a boxing brain, to think to pace yourself (remember how close he was to beating Ottke?) that ultimately lets him down. Dissing Cathy Freeman was none to clever either, or his idea of optical hygine etc., etc,
Mate. Watch him in the ring. Hes half PBF, Half RJJ. He has a near perfect defence. Rolls his shoulder perfectly. His chin has developed as he has gone on. As no amateur career has allowed. In Attack he is fast, powerful and has every punch.
Its time he steps it up. Big raps on the guy. Australia knows he can go to the top. Were just pissed he doesn't step it up.
Hes in the same league as Calzaghe, Hopkins, Pavlik, Taylor. He needs to step it up though to show everyone. I think we may just see that very soon.
P.S I told you first. A Champion will rise.
So why isn't the Jones-Mayweather hybrid undefeated?
I mean, is he shot already? That's the only time his two parts ever lost so... what's the story?
Saying Mundine can beat Calzaghe and Hopkins is a bit rich champ.
Both of these fighters have fought some big names and are very well rounded.
I think Mundine has talent and i have seen him spar in person and could mix it with the best.
But to say he can BEAT both of the above is a bit far fetched as the only big fights he has had hes lost except for Danny Green who is tailor made for him.
Its a real shame that i see him so high in the world rankings but he continually fights low grade fighters in Australia.
Well he is a pbf clone, but is so original he brought a caged chicken to his last press conference and called it Danny Green...........oh wait he stole that gimmick off someone else, who did that again, wasn't it pbf???????
Isn't mundine making like 3 mil fighting bums over there?
Yep easy money, fight Alan Green once a year then tell everyone that although Kessler beat you, he had an off night against Joe C and that he'd beat themboth etc, etc zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
No one can deny he's got talent, his got the skills and if Kessler follows Joe up to LH, a Mudine, Bute, Froch series of fights would be fun to watch.
He needs to have the courage of his convictions, he was offered over $1m to fight Joe and turned it down, I don't think he would have won, but I think he would hold his own and gain from the experience, instead, he's fighting a dustman, a waste of talent if you ask me
