I'm sick of people referring to Mundine as a former world champion. He has never once beat one of the legitimate title holders, never once, never. Echols was the B grade belt when Ottke held it, and the Soliman fight when Kessler & Calzaghe owned the 4 belts between them. He had a great chance to redeem himself after soliman by fighting Kessler again but no he chooses to run. Run little rabbit, run down your little hole & hide from the dangers. He only wants to fight Green again cause styles make fights & he again will box greens ears off. When he does wait for him to call himself a 3 time world champion as he just beat the man that held the belt last. Wait & see he's so easy to read its becoming the biggest joke in Oz boxing. Go fight your own version of fighting harada you bum.
why wouldnt it be at MW? He just went through all the effort to get rated at MW etc and then not fight at MW??
Do you guys reckon this fight will happen, it's like in 4 weeks based on boxrec and I haven't heard any promotion. Any news?
Interesting....Kim fights between LMW and LHW.....I thought Mundine would want to get down to MW to test his strength. How do you know this shiner?
Looks like the fight is going to take place. http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2008/07/03/1214950955727.html?feed=fairfaxdigitalxml
i know because they are predicable as anything! he won't want to fight striaght from smw to mw (ie dropping another 3kg) so will test himself somewhere in between to make sure he can in fact fight at the lower weight.
That's a good point and he'll probably do that, but considering he came in at 165 for Soliman and Hamdan the catchweight should be less than that. He might as well fight as 160 and Crazy Kim wouldn't be a seriously threatening opponent.
If anyone had any doubts, they should be gone by now. Mundine is a joke. Manny Pac moves up to 135, fights the reigning WBC champ in David Diaz PBF moves up to 140, fights the reigning champ in Gatti, moves up to 147, fights the undisputed unified champ in Judah, moves up to 154, fights DLH. Calzaghe moves up to LHW, fights the Ring champ in Bernard Hopkins. And the list goes on. Mundine moves down to MW, avoiding the rematch at SMW with Kessler he's been crying for for 2 years, and takes on a tincan who moved up from MW, 2 years ago in a 10-rounder, and tries to use a possible rematch with Green at LHW as an excuse. What a clown. Does anyone out there actually have any belief in this guy anymore?
