    Why has this potential match up been brought up recently? What has Mundine done in his lifetime to deserve the premiere fight in boxing?

    Also could this potentially effect the scoring of the Geale Mundine fight next weekend?

    Because Anthony Mundine loves to talk about it. Unfortunately for him and fortunately for us, he's the only one who does. Well, and the pair of us now i guess LOL

    Because Mundine, who's biggest win is Sam Soliman, wants a payday.

    He must be the one of the most dislikeable boxers in the sport!

    Yeah, looking at it like that it might be worth considering for Floyd if Mundine beats Geale: A fight for a middleweight belt against the only fighter people like less than him LOL

    Was just thinking that, bring him down to a catch weight of 155 or 156 and take a belt at middleweight!

    Exactly, crazy bragging rights for Floyd, beat the legend that beat the cruiser legend.

    if mundine beats geale, dont be suprised to see a mundine floyd showdown for the ibf middlweight title in 2013. a real possibility if mundine wins this fight, would be big for floyds atg standing to be a middleweight champ, surely this isnt to hard to understand?

    Mundine's last fight was in Vegas. It drew 286 people. This is like if Tim Tebow said he wanted to play in The Premier League and a small percentage of American fans thought it was possible.
