    Rafael is great as a news source but lacking in other areas. This is the guy who has been caught out writing pieces on fights he never watched.

    Im not into lists that much but dib above katsidis? Dan should have his buffet pass revoked for that.

    Knew it wouldn't take long for the nut-hugger in you to reveal itself :good.

    You began so carefully and conservatively too:

    hey chb i stand by all comments i have made.... sometimes i am wrong but thats ok. i dont rate beating rjj's corpse (cmon boys we all know wat a primed rjj would do to green, hell he probably would have gone on to beat danny had he not been caught early). mundine lost to wood but any clown could see his cockiness got him knockout. and the second fight he was scared to pull the trigger. wen he did, garth got knocked down. and i have stated from the beginning that i prefer mundine to green. so i have not tried to hide anything but prefer not to get caught up in debate between these 2 as it normally polarizes ppl opinions of posters on either side.

    dawsy i see wat u are saying and think our opinion are equally valued. but i dont really rate any of greens opponents. some WERE great fighters but he picked them at the right time, dont get me wrong mundine has done the same too. but when i consider actual ability and primed opponents faced (win, loose or draw) mundine comes up trumps imo.

    and chb maaate, are u gonna tackle biajoli?

    The quality and Class of Mundines last 12 or so oponents are shocking,he dug his hole himself fighting second rate very ordinary opponents to further his very suspect and manipulated career,they are well aware in the USA that this bloke is all smoke and Mirrors and have absolutely no respect for him at all.!!!!

    You must have an extremely low regard for Australia's top fighters if you can't find 5 you'd rate higher than than someone you describe like this:

    He has his flaws..... What do you want me to say about him? That he is the GOAT and has never avoided anyone? That wouldnt be the TRUTH would it. i have also explained why i rate him above green.

    Why dont you give me your current top 5 smarty pants.

    ohh and u conveneiently dodge my qu about ur intentions with biajoli lol, yes or no?.......... its just a friendly spar bro dont worry. if it gets too heated ill wave it of.:thumbsup
