    Top three, but will go down as largest ego in the division as soon as he makes the weight. It would be too easy to do a joke about the average weight of roadsweepers going down as the reason for his move!! The guy has got talent but his 'I am the greatest boxer to walk the earth pound for pound' spiel really makes him difficult to like. Abrasiveness is an Aussie quality and normaly stands them in good stead for sporting contests, usually they back it up (e.g. Cricket, swimming, Rugby League etc. ) but he has failed to do so at the ultra elite level

      He will never get a better time to do it now though.

      Looking forward to the upcoming years.

      He has his chance to proove it.

        Mate he is 32 yr old and could have made moves long ago , most are thinking retirement at his age , you talk like he is 24 and up and coming , he has had 8 fights since Kessler , makes 9 with the coming bull**** Soliman rematch , Mundine has never had intentions of throwing down the gauntlet to the world scene and has been beat by Kessler Siacca and Ottke which happen to be the only world class prime international fighters he has fought , he is milking the Aussie scene with dud after dud and his resume is woeful , Im really sick of all the Mundine bull**** , been hearing it for years and its all bull**** .

          Mundine will fight to his late 30's. Quite comftorably. Sure im sick of it to. But hes making his move now. Its going to be good to see.

            He isn't though. No big fight is signed yet, it's all speculation. His next fight is against Sam Soliman.

                Only if you read the post not as an entire statement and not knowing what we all know transpired in that they fought once , quotes taken out of context can often be miss interpretated ,, no big deal mate as I explained what I ment .

                  not blasted out....abraham couldn't blast him out..took him 12 rounds and a sill ref...

                    True moochi , I forgot they fought ,,, but Abraham was not up like Mundine was , Abe didnt look much against Shannon Taylor either who I thought he would stop early ,, Mundine Hamden was a pretty big fight here , Choc even said he tried to stop him but couldnt , granted Nader is a tough nut though just not very talented .

                      Mundine carried him big time. Choc doesn't mind getting hit against Hamden, Soliman etc.

                      Trust me, just have some trust in this guy. When he wants to, he can really lift for the occasion.

                      I can see him being simply destructive as a MW, and would back him against everyone other than Pavlik. I think he could stop Sturm. Abrahams loopy punches will get countered big time.
