    153:huh

    and yeah, yawn. firstly Mundine same old, and CBH being bothered to post article

    But I mean really, what do you expect Mundine to say? Like Gillard, they ask her if she feel her leadership is a bit shakey, I mean what is she suppose to fcuking say to that. Its all just cleche stuff

    and yeah

    The Cotto vs Margarito bout that Mundine is supposedly challenging the winner of is scheduled for December 3rd.

    What likelyhood do you see that the winner will be fighting Mundine in the new year?

    zero,the title mean nothing. cotto will fight a top global fighter that could sell ppv. mayweather v cotto or pacman, or a top true 154 fighter on regular hbo or showtime. If mundine comes up with massive money like 4 million maybe

    I think this just tells me Trout is getting a big head about himself. That and he's got a pretty shitty team doing his bidding. He doesnt have enough star power to be making big demands...

    I don't think for a heartbeat he ducked Mundine like he's been accused of though.

    I don't think either of them ducked each other. They couldn't strike a deal, happens all the time.

    Pretty much. Both parties couldnt even get their stories straight. Trout and his manager were flopping from 1 fight option to only a rematch clause. Mundine was saying 3 fight option.....

    I think the whole lot of them werent telling the truth.

    none. Mundne would probably want to in the US taking Aus PPV money but its just not going to happen. Mundine brings nothing to the table.

    But of course Mundine is going to say this. Who do you expect him to call out and say he wants to fight?

    I heard what was offered, and I doubt Trout would get that anywhere else. But good luck to the guy if he thinks he can. I like the look of him as a fighter. Can see him being a tough night at the office for the vast majority of 154. Not sure how easily he's going to land a prominent fight though.

    Exactly. He's from las cruces, new mexico...not exactly a fight town. He isnt aligned with any of the bigger promotersq over there, thats why he had to defend his belt in mexico and why he was prepared to come here for mundine.

    The belt is gold to him because he doesnt have much else to work with. Like you say....that doesnt take away from the fact that the kid is a very good fighter.

    Exactly my thoughts. Trout will never get what Mundine offered from any of the other fighters. He doesnt have the star power yet. But he doesnt seem to realise that!
