OK so Mundine was the 168 WBA champion after Calzaghe beat Kessler and moved up. Fought Hamden,Soliman III and moved down in weight not because Kessler became his mandatory but because the opportunity to fight for the lowly IBO MW belty came up. OK.atsch
I'm not denying he ducked a Kessler rematch, he knew he would lose again and thought he would have better more winnable opportunities at middleweight.
