    Itwont be Pavlik mate as his fight with Williams looks made.

    Sturms has management issues so that fight looks cold as well.

    Best hope is Wright or Manfredo on the undercard of a US fight.....other than that I dont think he will say anything for weeks.

    Ha ha - Yeah - I would say Saturday so he can steal Green's thunder a bit.

    Anthony has an opportunity to go one better than his dad and fight for a legit 160 pound title and win one.

    If he fights Medley, then it's more or less just a repeat of his Rugby Career where he tells everyone he was the best, but couldn't crack that representitive level.

    Looking forward to seeing him try to steal Green's thunder at the moment!

    If it's anything less than a top shelf opponent announced it'll be a case of 'who cares? We're interested in Green at present - IBO title, RJJ and all that'.

    If team Mundine were smart they'd announce Geale - they're going to have to face him soon enough anyway - might as well make a buck out of it while the first bout is still in people's memory.

    Perhaps they'll remain silent and hope that Green loses...

    ...that would probably bring Green v Mundine II forward, and an easy $$$ day for both camps!

    Mundine will never fight on an undercard, never mind a US one.

    Yep, it's a repeat of his Rugby League career as well as the last 9 years of his boxing career.

    Oops, he's only been boxing for 9 years!

    :lol:

    Manfredo is a reasonable fit MM.

    Especially now that Pavik's gone for Williams instead, and it's about 4 months since Manfredo's last hit out.

    The fact that Bika stopped Manfredo early won't be lost of team Mundine either.

    Didn't he fight on a Lucas undercard in Canada - against Pompey?

    I agree he'd never fight on an Aussie undercard, but I think there is a greater chance of him fighting on the undercard if it was in another country, such as the US (where he almost certainly NOT be the draw, unlike here in Australia)

    BTW, in reply to a post above, I don't think very many people are interested in EITHER Green or Mundine at this stage. Both are pulling the "same ole crap". There's your typical uneducated boxing fans that still buy into their crap though.

    I ain't buying either of them, although I'll still support both of em (Mundine more so, but that's just a preference).

    Interesting thoughts KO.

    As above - Green's going in against someone who's never contested a title, for a vacant title, followed by a match-up with a very-close-to-washed-up legend.

    Meanwhile, Mundine continues with 'tune-up' fights as a lead-up to future 'tune-up' fights.

    Green is therefore more in the spotlight at the present time - but not really tricking too many of us in the process.

    I remember reading on espn that Khoder offered him a fight but he wanted double the money. The reason i think it will be Manfredo is. Because Manfredo is currently short on money and working at an rsl in providence. So he will be cheap. And he does bring US recognition in some way. Wouldn't it be refreshing to see Manfredo vs Mundine on the undercard of Mayweather vs Marquez.

    Geale's one of Mundine's very few non 'tune up fights' of late.

    ...and because of that he's a guy 'ol Anth's not in hurry to get in with again any time soon!

    That's true, it's Mundine's most recent fight!

    If Geale wasn't an Aussie, Mundine would certainly be getting more credit for taking on Geale given he was undefeated at the time and the IBO champ.
