Green and now looks like Mundine finished who can get aussie boxing back up there. Although big Geale fan he doesn't seem to excite the media or public like the other two did.
Daniel Geale is the obvious answer. But Alex Leapai gets the chance to be our first legit world heavyweight champ in a few weeks time, and Big Daddy is on the up too.
There still a bit away but maybe Horn &Hooper first to admit Hooper looked terrible last fight but is a super talent. Obviously Geale a standout but I undertand what people are saying about he dont get much interest
It will be dead until we can get another import like KT. Long gone are the days of finding a Jeff Fenech on our soil again and the AUS circuit is rife with setting up boxers to fail time and time again, the hussein brothers are a fine fine example of that. High hopes are on Alex shoulders but realistically he wont pull it off. The Mike Tysons of this sport are an extinct species because the sports evolved alot since then, you cant win fights on pure power anymore when you come up against fighters who can and will box your ears off.
Within a matter of weeks we have Leapai and Soliman fighting for world titles. Browne fighting for a Commonwealth title and Geale with a big fight in the US. Plenty going on.
Sam was doing well before Green and Mundine came along and he is still doing well. Not a bad effort at all when you look at it that way. He's done his time for the prohibited substance so he's free to keep on keeping on in my eyes. Hopefully Geale can string a few wins together and then land a GGG fight. Obviously we need a young gun to come onto the scene too.
Nobody had heard of Soliman outside the boxing community until he almost upset Mundine in fight 1. If he was a big name do you think Mundine would've jumped into the ring at such an early stage, he was a kickboxer trying to make a go of it in boxing with a few losses beside his name
Soliman has been IBF #1 for yonks and is fighting Sturm for the world title on May 31st, and it has nothing to do with whats-his-name.
Cobba said Soliman was doing just fine before Green and Mundine came along...... My point is that he was an unknown..... gotta :nut
