In 1970 a can of Coke cost about 20 cents, and a can of Coke in 2011 now costs about $3! Inflation ensures that money continues to devalue every year mate.
Ced, Here's some stuff just from this thread alone that most of us chose not to believe mate. Hope you didn't believe it. Because let's face it, how much of it came true? Shortly afterward Fight News came out with an article that conflicted with Ash's little plan above, and Ash's reaction: Then this little gem: Looking at the calender it's mid March, with the Wood rematch due in mid April. Then one that ended with a little more realization of reality: Ced, The above is just more of the same stuff we've been reading for years mate. BOXA and Ash have continually talked up 'world domination', 'last fight in Australia', 'last fight against an Australian opponent', 'conquering the USA', Cotto, Mayweather, Margarito, Spinks, Ishida, Trout, Alvarez etc But sadly the harsh reality reads Falliga, Medley, Jerez, Waters, Wood and Wood again.
Dear oh dear! The title says it all really: I'm the best athlete ever: Mundine by Nathan Ryan - Sports News First - 17th March 2011 ANTHONY Mundine moved his camp to Queensland on Thursday and he has declared that he is nowhere near hanging up the gloves, despite having achieved all there is in Australian boxing. It is the country’s most his highly anticipated boxing match since Green v Mundine, the rematch of Mundine and Garth Wood, the man who famously knocked him out in round five last December. When sportsnewsfirst.com.au was invited to ‘The Man’s’ private training session ahead of his rematch with The Contender Australia winner on April 13, retirement was the last thing on his mind - although he declared he has achieved all he has set out to and has the resume to prove it. “I’m a three time world champion in two different weight divisions,” Mundine declared. “I played State of Origin, should have played for Australia, played over 150 games of first grade then switched to become three time world champion. “That’s some feat - nobody else has done it so I must be the best. “(But) I’ll let them talk about that after I’ve finished. “I feel I got a lot left to give that’s what makes this fight a lot more intriguing, people are saying he’s finished, this and that, can he do it – that’s what were going to find out.” Mundine will yet again use his battle with Wood, a former South Sydney league player, as the spring board for an attack into the American scene with a win in Brisbane silencing his critics once and for all. “The first goal is April 13 being victorious. After that everything else will fall into place,” he said. “I’ve got something to prove not just to him but to myself and my fans. “Fighting a guy like him, it’s probably harder than a champion because he’s so wild and reckless so unconventional and unpredictable that you don’t know what to expect. “I know if I beat a fighter like him, I’m not just talking about Garth but a fighter like he is, then i can beat any fighter on the planet because of his unconventional style. “That’s the thing about being a champion you’ve got to beat all styles.” A three time world champion with a record of 40 wins and four losses to his name, Mundine along with his manager Khoder Nasser are building an empire – Team Mundine. With the likes of Sonny Bill Williams and to be followed shortly by Quade Cooper, Mundine is happy to pay forward his life experiences and help the new breed of sports talent where he can. “We look after each other,” he said. “Sonny’s tearing up what he’s doing, god willing Quade gets on board, he’s close to joining us so we just look out for each other. It’s a brotherhood. “We always talk about our affairs and how we can better ourselves not just as sports people, but as people. "I’ve been in the limelight now since I was 17; it’s something I’ve got a lot of experience with. “I just tell them ‘be the man you want to be’, be yourself, don’t try to be someone they want you to be because you won’t have peace within yourself later on.” A little less trash talk than previous interviews, the 35-year-old is focused and ready to prove why he has earned the nickname ‘The Man’. “I’ve got no promo, I’m going to be ready, he’s going to be ready and we’re truly going to see who the best man is on the 13th.”
Mundine's main obstacle to winning a world title is that he's pretty sh1t. He's clearly below the level of the original Super 6 members.. and at LH he would be crushed by Pascal.. Dawson wouldnt lose a round to him. I suppose there is Brahmer or shumenov but they are not gonna fight in Austrlia which means he'll have to win away from home (not happening). Long story short there's more chance of Julia Gillard winning Miss World than Mundine winning a World Title again
Dan, as much as your entire post is excellent, you seriously needn't have gone past your opening line as highlighted. I have taken liberty of correcting the spelling though. You summarized Mandy perfectly. Thank you for your excellent analysis - spot on. :good
Am I just being pig headed that I don't like to see the 3 time world champion line trundled out? I honestly do not view him as ever being a legitimate world champion.
