Is Anthony Mundine a joke?

[dc6112]

This guy ducks Kessler to fight some total scrub at 160. Do you take anything he says seriously?

Mundine is a total joke, he only fights cab drivers and garbage men.

Complete joke, nothing else to say really...

No i don't take him seriously, the third fight with Solimon did it for me.
By the way, i accidentally voted Yes.

I don't think it's fair to call him a complete joke. The guy might not be fighting great competition but correct me if I'm wrong, didn't he lose most of the sight in one of his eyes? He can't just step in the ring with top notch fighters without a few fights first. Before the eye problem he did fight Kessler, sure he lost but he still fought him.

Well it balances out because I meant to vote yes but I accidently voted no. I thought the poll question was "Is Mundine a joke".

True, he did fight Kessler, one of the only real opponents he ever had, not counting Sven Ottke, a loser who still knocked Mundine out. Then he won a SMW belt and Kessler became his mandatory for a rematch, and whatta ya know, Anthony Mundine wants to be a middleweight! Gimme a break.

Glass eye

Glass jaw

and if he had nuts, theyd be glass too.

I'm sure he knows he isn't going to beat Kessler which is why he doesn't want to fight him again. I'm not saying he's a great fighter or anything like that but I don't see him as a complete joke either. He's a more legit fighter then say Gary Lockett but he won't ever be more than an average fighter.

I have him at #5 at 160. He doesn't have the worst resume ever, especially compared to some of these other Euros. He's beat Soliman 3x, although the 3rd time was excessive, he needed to rematch him since the first fight was so close, Echols, and Danny Green. Although getting KOed by Ottke is something that can't be lived down, his losses (Kessler UD and Siaca SD) aren't bad.
