    I think Mundine is at his peak now and for the next few years.

    He is managed very well and that should see him get another shot at a title against maybe Sturm or Geale.

    Mundine at his peak was never going to beat Kess, Joe, Pav and the best 2 or 3 in each division...however very good for a loud mouth NRL player.

    he never fought Kessler at his peak.

    Kessler and Pavlik are nowhere near Joes level

    i'd give Pav a good chance to beat him aswell but wouldnt put money on him. Pav is effective at what he does but he's a robot, young and hungry but still a robot. Joe could very well make it look simple or Pav could bang him out. Tough fight esp at this stage of Joes career.

    In terms of skill and overall achievements in their career. IMO Joes will far outweigh Pavs when all is said and done which is why i dont think Kess or Pav are on Joes level.

    An old declining Calzaghe would still be too much for Pavlik.

    Calzaghe's angles would confuse the **** out of Pavlik. Calzaghe's seen Pavlik's best attributes all before and has had little trouble against guys like him.

    Yes.

    Mundine is on the slide.

    2005 - 2006 were his best years

    :D :rofl
    Mundine is most definitely past his best, and as someone else mentioned, his best was never as good as Calzaghe, Kessler, Pavlik, etc...

    PFFFTTTT!!!!

    The Kessler fight was the fight all of Mundine's sack-swingers base their claims of his greatness on!

    He apparently peaked in that fight because he didn't get KTFO and managed to land a few pittypats on Kessler as he was running away from him, and survived 12 rounds :yep

    As leader of those sack swingers i can tell you that is a lie.

    That was his best performance to that date.

    The **** can beat him in a rematch
