How great is it to achieve 3 titles in descending order?

ur a good bloke.

 

Check again! :good

Funny thread, but you didn't give us a lot of option to vote Whopper.

 

my name is abe and im a mundine fan,feels good to get that off my chest

 

POLL UPDATE.....

wOAHHHLLLL! theres been a massive landslide on voters believing the feat is pioneering great now up to a remarkable 66%. Whilst those who think it is very great has dropped down to 33%.

great response.

 

hahah.
wat u mean there are plenty of options.

Where have u been lately?

 

well dont let chb or irnie see that as u may soon regret.

 

Let's see now:

- the second-tier version of the WBA Super Middleweight title,
- the IBO middleweight title via debateable split decision, and
- a pending title tilt at the second-tier version of the WBA Jr Middleweight belt.

I assess that body of work as fair to medium by world class boxing standards.

It's certainly arguable that a person who has been recognised as a legitimate world champion of a major sanctioning body has a more significant career achievement.

It's all relative I guess. For example, I would argue Danny Green's victory over Eric Lucas in Canada for the second-tier version of the WBC Super Middleweight title was a more significant career achievement than beating Stipe Drews in Perth for the fully-fledged version of the WBA Light Heavyweight title.

Anthony Mundine has done extremely well for an ex-footy player with no amateur background. By world class boxing standards though, his achievements are unremarkable. I mean, he's never beaten a reigning world champion of a major sanctioning body in his life.

 

feel free to vote.

 

Spot on. :good

 

I will when you put the "fair to medium" option up there.

 

Lol

 

Yeh bro, to praise da man. :nut

I gave him top marks anyway.

Frolicking around the country side, I've been back for just over a week, but couldn't be ****ed posting much.

Sad about Smokin' Joe, we all have to go some day....

:deal

 

it is pioneering great if you are number 1 in each division but not if you are stepping down and facing more and more inferior competition.it is a mark of a true fighter who can fight in multiple weight divisions and win titles in each.hatton and calzaghe both achieved it but not decending

 

nice!

awsome where abouts?

yes very sad. he will b remembered as one of the greats.


well gentleman i tried to include a "fairly great" option but i dont think i can edit the poll.
