    How can people say Anthony Mundine fights nobodies everytime out?

    This is beyond me. People seem to judge Mundine's whole career due to taking a few keep busy fights. Lots of the ATG fighters would take keep busy fights such as Ray Robinson, Julio Chavez, and Pernell Whitaker to name a few.

    Here is Mundine Resume Of Oppostion fought..............
    -Sven Ottke (24-0) #1 SM In The World. Mundine takes this fight after only 10 fights and no amature expreince. (Ottke is also one of the best amatures of all time, in the amatures he beat the likes of Antonio Tarver and Juan Carlos Gomez)

    -Antwun Echols (29-4) Echoles was a world class amature, was considred one of the biggest punchers in the sport at the time, and was rated #3 in the world by Ring Magazine.

    -Manny Siaca A fomer world champion, and also a two time world title challanger. (Was a very good amature in his native PR)

    -Mikkel Kessler Number #1 SM in the world, carried at 35-0 record and was WBA SM Champion)

    -Danny Green Green was a world class amature who went to the 2000 Olympics Games. Going into the Mundine fight he was a top 5 ranked fighter. Since the Mundine fight Green has went on to become a 2 weight world champion.

    -Sam Solimanx3. Mundine is the only ever fighter to knock out the tricky Soliman. Winky Wright, Enrique Ornelas, Sakio Bika, Raymond Joval,and Howard Eastman all fought Soliman and cound't KO him, thats pretty good win, he also beat Soliman twice on points.

    Some people also think Sam beat the then #2 P4P Winky Wright, Sam also holds wins over the likes of Sakio Bika and Enrique Ornelas.

    -Shannan Taylor Former two time world title challenger, who took Arthur Abraham the full 12, Going into the Mundine fight was ranked number #10 by the WBA, and at one point in 1998 was ranked by Ring Magazine

    -Daniel Geale was 21-0, rated by Ring Magazine, was IBO world Champion. Held wins over 29-0 and Daniel Dawson and had defeated JR European Amature Champion Geard Ajetovic.

    He was also a world class amature. he was a 5 time national Aussie amature champion, represented Australia at the Olympic games and had won the 2002 Commonwealth games.

    How is this fighting nobodies then? Mundine has fought both of the best SMW in the world, fought great contenders, and champions. Big wow he fought a few stay busy fights, all the ATG Fighters have. But you look at his real resume.

    That is impressive especailly for a man who didn't start boxing until the age of 25.

        As far as I know, he lost against Siaca,Ottke and Kessler...but youre right about Soliman, he really was tricky. And Green he also beat clearly, outboxed him.

          Well he was ahead against Ottke in Germany, but was hit with a temple shot, which no matter how good your chin is, when your hit on the temple 90% of the time you will be knocked out.

          Altough Kessler did beat him, he give Kessler a better fight than the likes of Librado Andrade, Markus Beyer, and Dimitri Sartison. I had it 116 113 to Kessler.

          Here's some K, for not being a sheep and following what everyone else say here about Mundine and giveing him the credit he deserves.

            Oh, I recognize his talent. Thanx. He just needs to play down his tough boy image. He talks too much nonsense.

              TBH, you will find alot of people don't like Mundine around here, but i think he's a good fighter especailly when he didnt start boxing until the age of 25!

                Yep, thats definitely a credit to him. He was a rugby player I understand? And quite good one.

                  Indeed he was ruby player, who turned to boxing because he thought he wasn't getting enough credit in the Ruby World.

                    His dad was also a famous and loved boxer. Tony Mundine. The first Aboriginal and one of the first damous Australian boxers. I read about him. He had power in both hands, but his chin was shakey. Fought Monzon for the title and lost by a knockout in 7th. His record was 80-15-1 with 64 KOs.
