    i'd like to see Mundine fight a better level of opponent before taking on Kess again, maybe someone like Carl Froch etc

    The Argies and Hamden r not good lead up fights to a rematch with the 2nd best SMW over the last 10yrs.

    Do you think United States TV would take this fight live?

    No chance Calzaghe Kessler was a ratings flop over there. Unless Choc burns their flag or something no one will tune in.

    i think Choc will offer Winky Wright or Jermain Taylor big cash to fight him on American TV. If it isn't going to be shown in America, i don't think Choc will risk it. After Hamden, he will have four options:

    Danny Green in Perth
    Sam Soliman in Melbourne
    Mikkel Kessler in Sydney
    or a fight in the US.

    If the WBA force him to fight Jurgen Brahmer, i think he will step up in weight to light heavy. i don't think he'll fight him. too much risk, not enough reward.

    He should take this fight. He certainly has the ability to beat Kessler. He's really at the stage where he needs to make something happen and soon. It's time to put up or shut up.

    whats with all this Choc will suffer because of Argie cabby he has been facing. Pretty sure he knows this and is doing the hard work in the gym. Do you honestly think he doesnt know fighting 3 blokes over a combined 18rds or so in 18 months will will effect him.

    Choc better get in better shape than his last fight, he looked soft.

    And $50 PPV for his fight with Hamden .................. :-(

    They are even offering a encore show at the same price 3 days later.

    This guy is a greedy ****.

    Do you honestly think just knowing his quality of opposition in the last year or so pathetic is enough?

    Is Mundine some sort of supernatural being who doesn't need ringtime to stay on top of his game?

    You think gymwork and sparring is enough to keep him in 'regular world champion' shape? :lol:

    then it begs the question "Why isn't he facing quality fighters in his fights if he's facing them in the sparring ring?"

    Who are these quality sparring partners Mundine is facing that will get him back to being a battle hardened World class operator ? Its a well known fact in the sport if you fght guys below your level then sooner or later you start preforming to that level , Mundine would be a fool to step up against the likes of Bute , Kessler even Froch or Inkin without first tuning up v someone like Bika imo , The problem he has is that given Bika's recent level of dance partners Bika could prove too stern a test .

    I agree with most of the post....Mundine needs better fights before fighting Kess or similar.....but I think Mundine is 2 quick for Bika.....Bika will get beaten because Mundine will hit and move and wont be drawn into a fight.
