I would like to see him against Alan Green. But check the Pavlik thread in General Forum where i post.
I see him looking at the winner of Lorenzo V Sylvester for the IBF On the other hand I see him waiting to see if Sturm will fight Pavlik so Mundine can fight Carrera or Golvekin 4 the vacant title. Geale II February is also on the cards
If i was a betting man i would say yes. Because if Winky Sturm Balzay and Martinez are out. And Williams is fighting at 154 next on HBO its already been signed. October 3rd. Then there is no other big name out there.
20 names at 154 to 168 that could take this fight and have just as good as profile as Mundine if not better....5 of those names are in the USA.
No Booradley probably does. Alan Green doesn't take big fights but. And he also doesn't fight at 160 anymore. Sturm is out, Winky is out, Williams is out, he has Dzinziruk, Balzay is out which leaves no one else at 168. And im very sure Pavlik will not risk going back up to 168. Sakio Bika really isn't a big name and he also fights at 168. I don't know anyone else. I really think it is Mundine. But we will know in 48 hours.
It will be bika, he will able to sell PPV with Bika and pay Bika some money, The media will get behind the fight and create some noise like the geale fight because there will be boxing people saying that mundine could lose the fight and bika has fought some big names and won the tv show.
The Mundine camp seem to be at an absolute impass as far as who to fight next from what I'm hearing.................nothing! Perhaps there's something being quietly put together in the background, but that's not usually team Mundine's modus operandi. The Green camp seem to have trumped them, at least temporarilly, with Danny's US bout coming up in 3 weeks time, followed by the tantilizing prospect of Green vs RJJ in Oz. Logically you'd think for Mundine it would be the IBO mandatory against Geale, followed by a genuine world class overseas fighter. But it usually all ends in disappointment...go ahead Anthony shock us just once!
My guess is as follows....he wants the Pavlik/ Sturm fight to be made so he can go for the vacant title.....Mundine wont fight Pavlik or Sturm so his other option is to look to the IBF in 10 months time and fight the winner of AA's vacant strap. He will fight the winner of the aussie contender in 8 months so he will need a keep busy easy fight in the next 4 months....I know Geale II :yep
