    Hes got a couple of fights lined up with Golden Boy. Im presuming hes going to fight Sturm/Sylvester on a card. And then an Espino type fighter.

    Will he be a big hit? With his RJJ style, and Speed?

    Will he be hated?

    Id like to hear some thoughts.

    The only current champ I could see him beating would be Sturm. I'm sure most will hate him. I see both Abraham and Pavlik crushing him in dramatic fashion

    I think he could do well here in the USA as the man you love too hate :twisted: He and Strum is a pic em fight but Pavlik and Abraham would catch up too him after being out boxed for a while:bbb

    He´s so overated. Never did anything that warrants all that hype. Pavlik and Abraham would knock him out. Against Sturm or Sylvester he has a chance but I wouldn´t pick him.

    He actually gave Kessler his 2nd toughest fight. And he actually schooled Danny Green rated #5 at SMW by ring magazine. Both these guys have a bigger punch then Kelly.

    Whether he still has it? Who knows.

    But hes done the miles e.g Soliman 2, Antwun Echolls.

    Nothing that warrants him being mentioned? Well what has Froch done? Or Abraham done?

    Abraham has only beaten Miranda twice.

    no chance at all.....

    who is he fighting next?
    a nobody.
    who did he fight before that?
    a nobody.

    he wasted his prime, should have attacked the us after schoolin green.

    he suxs, he isnt roy jones, america will and should hate him, he is a mouthy ****.

    i hate him. he is runnin from Daniel Geale, who has the IBO middle title, and a fellow aussie fighter who wants Mundine. but no Mundine isnt keen.

    Geale deserves sturm or sylvester, not Mundine.

    You are right. Many things point in the right dirrection for Mundine.

    My main concern is the Siaca fight.

    Marcus, Daniel Geale is scared of Mundine.

    And he hasn't fought any international fighter with a pulse.

    Thats just inexperience, that fight mate. A bad showing.

    Only concern is his age. But im confident he does have the speed and defence, to give the top guys some problems.

    He has definitely missed the boat to a degree, he is already starting to decline. He had the mouth, style and ability to at least gather some fame. Much of the attention would be negative but it would draw interest nonetheless. Ideally he should have looked for bigger and better things after schooling Green and stopping Soliman, but he didn't.

    How you figure?

    The evidence is to the contrary. Geale and the Grange boys have been vocal about fighting Choc, this is on record.

    Id take Dawson and Ajetovic over Crazy and Pintos any day.

    Im telling you now mate. You can take it to the bank.

    If Sturm doesn't take Choc as a voluntary, he will fight Geale and head to the US with the IBO title.

    Hes not scared of Daniel Geale 1 bit.
