    Simple. Cos the average idiot in Australia has no idea between a Kelly Pavlik and a Rico Chong Nee or a Crazy Kim. To put it simply, boxing in Australia is insignificant compared to other sports, this is the perfect place to milk a career for all it's worth. I think the aussie media are partly to blame too. The only thing dumber than the average pub idiot/bogan is the braindead journalists who simply know nothing when it comes to boxing knowledge. In fact I would say the majority of posters on ESB would know more than those morons.

    Here's a picture of Fijian Joy Ali (LHS in picture below), the man the Fiji Times have been talking up as a Mundine opponent:

    "The letter says he was suspended 'due to his continuous interference with sanctioned Boxing Commission of Fiji promoter, namely Prasad's Main Event Promotions, and ongoing inaccurate press releases to media outlets without notification and approval of the Boxing Commission of Fiji despite repeated caution.

    Among top fights he is negotiating is a Joy Ali-Tony Mundine world title showdown in December."


    Mmmmmm........."ongoing inaccurate press releases to media".....

    Soooo....December is it....anyone told T.Mundine??? :patsch

    At this stage of his career, there is no point in wasting time with tune up fights when you have good options available.

    Mundine gotta go After Sturm and Pavlik, if that doesn't work out then he has Bika, Green and Geale as good options.

    Hard to argue with your logic 11PLAYER. But his record suggests he'll head sideways or down, in preference to up.

    As long as suckers keep buying his PPV rubbish he's not got the bottle to go back overseas for tough fights.

    Pavlik would mentally murder Mundine.

    I wouldnt look to far into his next opponent until its announced. I have serious doubts that its someone whos bad. If the Medley fight was finalized his camp would have made a lot of fuss over it. As they did with the Geale fight. And Mundine probably wants to get the attention away from Green who will steal it with his US fight.

    Expect Mundine to announce his opponent on sunday or monday. :lol:

    Green's going in against someone who's never contested a title, for a vacant title, followed in all likelyhood, by a challenge from an arguably washed up legend. However, whether it's friday, sat, sun or monday; if it's another 'tune-up' fight announcement from Mundine it won't put a dint in Green's current promo campaigne.

    True that, Green's getting good publicity for this fight - there's an article in today's paper with a photo of Green and Roy arm in arm, saying Green had asked Roy to call Jarryd Hayne up and speak to him, etc.

    Green's got crossover appeal - boxing and NRL (via the Eels) :yep:lol:

    Mundine will have to announce a Pavlik or Sturm or keep his big dumb mouth shut the **** up
