Mundine avoiding KO fighters is simply not true. Mundine would have the speed and fitness to beat a one shot wonder. What he fears is being outworked, which is a real issue now that he's on the way out. |

So you say you would pay to watch grass grow if the belts were on line?
Belts mean nothing. Its the fighters who are the draw cards. Mayweather can chuck all of his belts in the bin and he next fight would rate just as well. Sturm is Geale's best fight and neutrals got bored to death watching that performance. Enough said. |

I think the two keys to being PPV worthy are your personality (ability to self promote) and your style of fighting. Many hispanic and european fighters lack the personality to generate their profile but make up for it in their style of fighting, e.g. Golovkin, Abraham, etc. In Australia, Mundine and Green certainly have the self promoting piece down pat which has ensured their PPV success. Both have quite an eye catching style of fighting (quite different to each other) when performing at their best, which generates interest in their fights, irrespective of their opponents. Geale hasn't shown a great ability to self promote and his fighting style appeals only really to purists of the sport, which is probably why he didn't sell out his most recent fight in Tasmania. I dunno how Geale can improve his marketability, but would certainly like him to do so. One thing he certainly doesn't fall short in, is respect in the boxing world. Whether that improves his marketability is another question. |

Sure. The all round better boxer bit. The bit where he says that he hurt Geale multiple times. He caught Geale off balance and Geale got up straight away. A hurt boxer tends to cover up and not offer many punches in return or hug it out with his opponent so he cant get hit with anything else. That didnt happen.
