I get the point... Calzaghe was a lazy no hoper undefeated world champion fighting bums cause he felt like it and only doing as much as he needed to. He had everything to lose...everything at that time. Poor comparison. why dont you mention his last 5 oponents at the same time as Mundines. Laughable. And Mundine is destined to fight bums for the rest of his career so why do more than needed...he might get tired. Hey in your comparison did you mention Calzaghe was the WBO world champ at that time and Mundine at the same age has nothing....who has got everything to lose and who has nothing to lose at the same age. Mundine needs to fight the big fights....or he is only as good as his last fight. And he is fast becoming a laughing stock IMO. The boxing lovers want Mundine to take on the big fights and win...why do the huggers continually apologise for his **** poor management and his **** poor performances? To all the huggers...the biased apolegitic view does not wash.....bang the drum when he has truly proven himself.
I understand his point. Just a terrible terrible comparison. And NO I do NOT think Mundine can step it up against elite competition. Calzaghe was a freak of nature and showed absolutely NO signs of being in decline throughout the latter stages of career, and his skills and stamina were as good as they ever were against Roy Jones - his last fight. Mundine has shown numerous signs of being in decline. I would say since the Hamdan fight he has looked very very ordinary. And don't say he doesn't get himself up for fights he knows he's going to win. If you watch him now compared to against Green 1, he is a completely different fighter. His defence was impeccable a few of years ago (I used to think only Mayweather rivalled his defensive skills). Now he gets tagged a lot from "E" grade fighters, fights flat footed a lot of the time, and now with the drop in weight couldn't put his grandma on the canvas.
I think if you hatters pay attention you will find most Mundine supporters want him to take on the big fights but when questioned they think Mundine is top 4 to 7 in the world....that means he dont need to fight the best....just needs to keep winning and beat a few top 15s and one contender each year. That will be enough to win a title either vacant or paper when the right fight comes along. We are happy for the man to keep on fighting and keep on mouthing off....fact is in my mind he was top 4 SMW and after beating Geale he will be top 4 MW. He will get a better MW title in a vacant fight against a real top 10 MW. He will then go to other divisions and fight Green and do other things you haters dont like. If you dont like him or dont want to talk about him dont post in his threads :deal
We are happy for the man to keep on fighting and keep on mouthing off.... We, Who is we? Is mundine still scheduled to fight Sturm?
Mundne supporters....not haters....never mentioned anything about Sturm...but did talk about vacant titles. All you haters are just closet lovers or you wouldnt bother wasting time posting crap about Mundine
I thought this was Geales thread... Mundine is ripe for the picking and Geale has the tools to do it and step onto the world stage. Geale-points.
Can Geale beat Mundine:rofl What will you be doing after Geale gets beaten :| On what do you base you thoughts that Geal will win:gsg If you reply to the above I will just say :blabla Look I have been cheers so cheers and keep on loven Mundine....oh I mean Geale
Yes. Although I've been critical of Joe's opposition earlier on in his career, his competition since turning champ has always been better than guys Mundine has voluntarity took on (aside from Green and maybe Soliman in the 2nd fight).
Yeah yeah.......but Joe is P4P top 15........Mundine is P4P top 100 plus. Ajay is Mundines marketing manager :yep
