personally i like miranda because of his tough upbringing and his exciting style but in a matchup of power vs skill skill will win 90% of the time, and mundine has more skill than miranda and he has the power and speed to punish him, he KO'd soliman who had never been stopped before and had lost controversial decisions to the likes of winky wright mundine by TKO 8 after outboxing miranda he jumps on him and punishes him with his speed and power
This is rediculous, how is Kessler scared? when he is now fighting a better opponent?

watch this link, it shows mundine taking current/just retired WBA light heavyweight champ danny green to school in 2006, and believe me mundine is light years better now, mundine with yellow gloves and gold trunksComment

Both these guys are nobodies over here, thats the point. All these guys can fight over seas from the states and do well, the point was that Miranda was giving Kessler a shot to make a name for himself in the states and Kessler backed out, and thats the only fight that wouldve made sense in the states for Kessler unless he can land Jones Jr or Taylor, which isnt going to happen soon.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=is98O...eature=related

mundine is a better fighter, its not about bringing tickets or money in or making business sense, its about proving your the best and kessler will do that if he can beat a much improved mundine again ok? this is typical american bull**** no wonder everyone hates americans you're all so petulant and you seem to think just because a fight isnt big news in the states it shouldnt be made....Comment

Im not saying it shouldnt be made, they can fight, im just saying its a fight no one except their home countries will care about. I think Bernard Hopkins said it best, "And the Brit fighter has always been known for being exposed at the highest level"....that pretty much goes for all across the atlantic minus the heavyweights, so ya let them fight, but the best fighters fight in the states. Thats why Ricky Hatton tried to make it over here and now Joe will try, i guess others like Kessler are happy beating people no one cares about, even when they get offered a great oppertunity..Kessler has the tools to be a star, I think he could be a star over here, so hearing he backed out even though im not a huge fan was a disappointment, because it wouldve been a great fight for boxing.mundine is a better fighter, its not about bringing tickets or money in or making business sense, its about proving your the best and kessler will do that if he can beat a much improved mundine again ok? this is typical american bull**** no wonder everyone hates americans you're all so petulant and you seem to think just because a fight isnt big news in the states it shouldnt be made....Last edited by raysan; 03-27-2008, 04:01 AM.Comment

I can only agree with that post.mundine is a better fighter, its not about bringing tickets or money in or making business sense, its about proving your the best and kessler will do that if he can beat a much improved mundine again ok? this is typical american bull**** no wonder everyone hates americans you're all so petulant and you seem to think just because a fight isnt big news in the states it shouldnt be made....
The sad thing is they claim there boxing fans.
When they would rather see Kessler beat up Miranda and stop him. Rather than wanting to see the 2 best SMW's going at it.Comment

At the end of the day if no one cares about it then thats Americas fault.Im not saying it shouldnt be made, they can fight, im just saying its a fight no one except their home countries will care about. I think Bernard Hopkins said it best, "And the Brit fighter has always been known for being exposed at the highest level"....that pretty much goes for all across the atlantic minus the heavyweights, so ya let them fight, but the best fighters fight in the states.

Kessler vs Mundine 2 means we have a higher class fight than Miranda vs Kessler. Something all boxing fans should want.
Maybe you should stop being so bias and treat talent equally.Comment

I know you think the US is the only country in the world.both these guys are nobodies in the US, i dont know where youre at, but youre delusional if you think people in the US care about these guys. Miranda is bigger than Kessler, and Kessler couldve made his name off of him like Pavlik, but for whatever reason he doesnt want to fight him, most likely fear.
But you have millions of Europeans living in the US.
And there are thousands of Australians.
Mundine and Kessler will bring in there home support.
It will sell 10 000 tickets easy. Choc has some loyal followers and haters. The loyal followers will make the trip.Comment
