    After his win over Mosley,would a fight in GB between him and Billy Joe Saunders be viable,possibly in a few fights time for the latter.If not here,on neutral territory?

    They're the same weight for starters.Saunders is up and coming,Mundine falls short of the top 10,I think,but has just had a good win against an albeit past it legend.Dont you think it would be a good step up,and why is it bizarre?

    Reasonable points,Lukey.But didn't Mundine fight Geale at Middleweight,and also campaign at that weight before?You possibly know more about the situation in Australia than I do.I assumed if the money was right he might come over.Katsidis did a few times.But as you say if he's earning big money there he probably wouldn't.I think BJS needs to step it up a bit,and to be honest,thought of Mundine after hearing he beat Mosley.Still don't think its a bad fight,and one Saunders could win.

    Ah Anthony Mundine. I love it when he gets brought up. It's my excuse to bring this out again. Most embarrassing attempt at generating 'cross over appeal' from a boxer ever?

    Thanks,mate.Thats what I was getting at.Plus Mundine is a bit controversial and gobby.I think it would be a decent build up,and agree Vera a good fight also.Not sure about Eubank.I don't think he's earned it yet,but the needle and buildup,again would be good.Think his dad will hold him back a while.
