    How Good do you guys think Anthony Mundine is ?

    I'm an aussie so i'm a bit biased so i'm after some impartial opinions

    How do you guys think Mundine would do against Kessler , Lacy and Calzaghe

    and if he did drop to Middleweight, how would he do against Jermain Taylor, Winky Wright, Edison Miranda etc ?

    He would be in a world of ****. Just cause he beat Green(King of the bums) and sam doesn't mean ****. Last time he fought kessler most of the punchers Mundine threw we're no where near Kessler and I was ringside. Not to mention Kessler's back was screwed.

    Mundine is living a world of false security at the moment.

      Since you're from the land down under who you should be looking at is MICHAEL KATSIDIS. He's real deal and is blessed with power. He's the one to watch out for.

        I would rate him third at smw.

        I don't think he could take Kessler since Kessler is too big and stands too far away with his jab for Mundine. On the other hand i think he could give Calzaghe a tough fight (if he can hold on to the initiative) since they fight at the same distance and Mundine has very fast hands and i feel Calzaghe has lost a little pop in his punches making it possible for Mundine to take some.

        A MW i think he could be e real force if he doesn't drain himself too much to get there.

          Didn't Mundine get knocked out by no-punch having Sven Ottke?

            i'm an aussie and i'm not bias......

            mundine is just average......

            he doesn't have it to mix it up, he can't throw combos and he can't fight moving forward.......this may because of him not having an amatuer background......


            he can fight as a counter puncher on the back foot throwing a jab or two........

            i dont' believe he can mix it up in the states against legitimate contenders......

            he is blessed with speed.......

            if he knew how to throw combos and fight coming forward, he'd be a force in the division.......

            I believe Mundine knows his limitations too and thats why he only fights at home...

              i think he is good and Danny Green is a great SMW just because he is not that famous doesnt mean he is a bum.

              Mundine is developed much from when he fought Green and is becoming better and better

                  Wasn't he a rugby player? Did he even fight at amateur?

                  If he started boxing late, then that is quite impressive at becoming world champion twice.

                    I think he easily can beat Lacy and Miranda. Against Kessler, Wright and Calzaghe his workrate seems to be too low.At Taylor i give him a fair chance. Lets see who he's fighting next, I'm sure he improves again a lot.
