    I mean like done in the fact we will never see him face Kessler or maybe Pavlik or maybe Taylor or maybe Calzaghe or maybe anyone inside say the top 5 in either 160 or at 168.

    Its rubbish. Its a fing joke and i know your a fan Teke and so was i but ive lost my patience.

    Like the third fight with Soliman wasnt needed just like a 2nd with Green is not needed.

    Whats needed like i said is for him to take on a top 5 in either 160 or 168 and thats what should be happening.

    Yeah if Choc doesn't fight a top 5 MW by the end of the year ill probably give up on him completely. Its frustrating to see such an abundance of talent not being utilised anywhere near its potential.

    I believe Green's retirement was genuine, I just think that, like he said, Mundine/Nasser have offered him a ridiculous amount to come out of retirement for a rematch.

    Look at it from Green's point of view - $5mill for a rematch where he himself probably thinks he has a good chance of winning. Come back for one more fight, make a massive amount of cash, maybe even get revenge for his loss in the first fight - I can understand why he would be thinking about it.

    It's Mundine I don't understand - he's obviously looking for the most money, but to literally run from Kessler, giving his belt up in the process, to move down to MW, where he has been ranked #3 by the WBA, only to start calling Green out again is bizarre, and very obvious.

    Crampton?!?

    :lol:

    There was a bloke used to post on here called TSFO who I was sure was one of the Crampton brothers, he was here for years, dropping little hints here and there, then he disappeared for a year or so, apparently had gone over to Thailand with his girlfriend and did Muay Thai for a while.

    Then when he started posting here again, some noob came on and called his bluff and he disappeared, never to post again :lol:

    It was bloody weird.

    Why on earth do people pay for Mundine's garbage fights on PPV. You are just encouraging/justifying what he does. If you have a spare $50 to throw away, give it to a charity.

    Its not private homes that buy his fights it's the Pubs and Clubs, they buy them and it is way more than $50.

    Yeah i know. Pubs/clubs probably pay $1ooo/2ooo or so to show his fights. I would say that alot of private homes also pay the $50 for Mundines fights.
    Mundine and his manager must have made some serious $$$$ in his career. Every single one of his fights has been ppv in Oz. Unbelievable.
