The Greatness of Anthony Mundine

[T-97]

I was being sarcastic mate!

Ahh fair enough,

Hard to tell when there are people here who do judge fighters from their records

[garryd]

Boxer Rec is the holy grail of boxing information! Forget about watching him fight when you could just look at who he beat. It is all about names not actual skill. I would give more credit if I seen Elvis as an opponent for a boxer rather than watching him perform well against a nobody

i guess i wasnt being sarcastic

Using the Ottke loss against Mundine is like holding Margaritos first 3 losses against him or using Pacs early losses against him etc.

thats right, Mundine was very green when he fought ottke, that was hi amateur career, he had no right being in there with a world champ at only his 11nth fight, and he got caught with shot on the temple, you dont need a great deal of force on a punch to do damage with a shot to the temple, mundine's inexperience showed in that fight. fast forward to 2008, he is a competely different fighter, lightening fast hands, can punch from all angles, has decent power, and (despite the crazy kim knock down) good defense. He would of been trying to showboat when he was caught with that flush left hook to the jaw, he did get up and recover from that kd to win a unanimous decision. The Man is highly underrated. if he can leave the RJJ showboating behind, and focus on being more offensive, and putting more effort in finishing guys off when h hurts them, he will do damage at MW !!

Quote me on that when he gets a big fight at MW

It was a good performance, Against a slow and limited fighter thought.

crazy kim was p4p #7 on my list,

but honesttly he does have talent, he needs to get a big fight soon, he`s 33 or something so he doesnt have much time

mundine has talent, he just needs to use it.

He will not improve now, he is too old. He needs to fight the top guys now or else he will retire having never beat a top fighter.

Oh yes. Careerwise he needs a big fight. Based on record he also deserves it. In reality I question his heart for not getting it. I just dont think he wants to take on the big names. I'm not sure about this, but I believe he has priced himself out of fights that might have given him some yank exposure.

some loser super middleweight who got his ass kicked by mikkel kessler , sven ottke and manuel siaca.

it's okay he still has time to develop he's only 34.

mundine sucks balls.

he turned pro at 25 years of age with no AM experience after crossing over from another sport - NRL rugby (the highest level of rugby in aus)
he's had 8 years to develop, i think he has come along pretty good. we will see when fights a big name MW

The rumour is that Mundine's management wants him to keep fighting opponents that he can easily beat because the people from Australia will pay to see him fight regardless of the opposition.

I believe the only reason he gave up his title and supposedly went down in weight was so that he would not have to face Kessler again, a fight he would surely lose.
