Mundine v Geale is really a nothing fight at this stage. Geale may hold the IBO title but would go in as major underdog and would lose by wide UD if not KO. For Mundine to fight Geale, it wouldn't do much to his rep so there's no point for him. For Geale to fight Mundine, it would more than likely lose the strong momentum his career is gathering. I reckon they could prob fight in at least 12-18 months and only if a world title (major sanctioning body) is on the line.
What would happen if Australia got themselves a real elite fighter? Would the Aussie boxing community explode in delight because even a lump of **** like mundine is legendary in Oz.
Very funny. But this big fish little pond mentality really doesnt help the country. It produces backward thinking and ultimatly creates the **** poor culture we see. I seem to recall England getting further than both Australia and New zealand at the rugby world cup. Oh, and Australia has produced two Quality fighters in the past 100 years. And 1 of them was Russian. Wales beats Oz in quality fighters on its own, let alone the rest of the isles.
Im not an Aussie or Kiwi so no dice there, son. My issue is that Boxing in Oceania is so weak its sickening. It reminds me of the old NSL. **** weak and full of itself. So when a decent but ultimatly 2nd rate fighter like Green or Mundine come along any real focus the sport has here is fixated on those two. Then come the mass'es of fanboys who repeatedly tell you that Mundine is the man, when anyone who knows anything about International boxing can tell you he's shite.
Other than Fenech and the Russian Kosta Tszyu, who else is even European title level. Katsidis and Soliman are or were game lads, and im sure ive forgot a couple of others over the years, but ultimatly the point still stands.
You'll just have to suck it up and handle that issue with Oceania. Its not like your area of the world is pumping out many excitement machines
European Title level aye I have no answer to your question cause i dont know but im sure others do and im sure you wouldnt understand either
, This coming from a kiwi , what you got apart from rugby and the odd little girl in the "my little pony " event aye Teke ? ie how many boxers ( Athletes) have you on par with British title level let alone commonwealth or world class :deal there is no need to slate an entire nation just because a fella quite rightly lables one of your fantasy threesome partners a turd now is there ? :rofl
