Looks like Kessler (or his promoter) want Choc again!

The reason Mundine has been fighting who he has fought is because Nevis was a safty first, first defence, and Clevero was a saftey first post nearly lost vision fight.

Given what Mundine has delt with, he would have been stupid to face anyone else.

 

Whats his excuse for a past his best Hamden as his next fight ?

 

While it helps to continually fight top opposition to stay sharp, it all comes down to rising to the occasion. Mundine has shown he is able to do this against Green, Soliman. The question is can he keep this going? Hope Kessler-Mundine gets made or if not Mundine against any other top fighter besides Soliman, Green would be a good start.

There's no excuses really for fighting Hamden at this stage.

 

We both know that answer...most money for least effort.

 

IF Mundine Ducks kessler then we will know he's just Content in walking around with a plastic belt and signing autographs making out he is champion when he clearly isn't a champion of anything , That WBA title is owned by Calzgahe and Kessler in the eyes of the world is # 2 .. If Mundine fought and beat that cobby **** Carl Froch for the commomwealth title he would be considered a champion of something ,The words Mundine and World champion don't really belong together in the same sentence in the minds of boxing fans worldwide , Has any Aussie interviewer atually interviewed him and asked what he's playing @ Hoodwinking Aussie boxing fans by charging then $50 AU to watch him fight his mate from down the Mousque ?

 

Absolute bull**** ***in, and you know it - Mundine's eye was NEVER as bad as they made out, and he wouldn't have been sanctioned to fight Clavero if his vision hadn't been 100%.

 

Mundine never "rose to the occasion" against Ottke, Kessler or even Siaca.

 

Thats a bit tuff Muttley...Mundine put on a great show against Ottke in his 11th fight against a world champ before he got KTFO and also a great show against Kessler because he walked out of the ring...look at what Kess did to Buyer in 3 rounds. Ok the Manny fight was **** but the other two fights were good performances while getting beaten.

We all want mundine to fight a real top fighter soon so we can bag the **** out of him if he gets beaten or say nothing if he wins.

 

So Mundine, this apparent world class, supreme athlete, god's gift to boxing, gets brownie points just for survivng 12 rounds with Kessler? Even though he pretty much fought ultra-defensively and ran for most of the fight, apart from the odd 15-20 seconds worth flurry of punches every 3rd round or so?

I hope you are also willing to concede that Kessler wasn't 100% when he fought Mundine - it would only be fair :hey

 

This rematch is gonna be gooood

 

To be fair, Mundine wouldn't be the only guy around that wants zero to do with a beltless Kessler. If he isn't Mundine's mandatory, then it's a smart move for Mundine to avoid him.

 

Yep just a shame Mundine got to be 40 before growing enough b*lls for it

Mundine is a decent fighter - but his opponents suck bigtime ... his next opponent got his ass handed to him by an old and rusty Larsen! Larsen's 3th fight after a 3 year lay-off. Larsen who most people here doesn't even consider top10 - Larsen beat Hamdan 8 rounds to none and had him down in round 3.

And Mundine is charging 50$ for this fight - sorry guys but that's a joke - and a bad one of those...

But 41 years old Ottke is coming out of retirement after loosing KO to his ex-wife ... might be time for Mundine to start calling for a rematch...

 

Come on Mate , Mundine is as belt less as kessler in the real world , the only fight either Mundine or Kessler should be contempating is one involving each other . This WBA regular **** is just that .... **** , if Mundine is content fighting lesser blokes home in Austarlia making money fair enough but he ain't a world champ of anything in 99.9 % of the Boxing worlds eyes . surly even the most devoted Choc fan knows this is the reality of things ?

Anthony Mundine is a champion, because most other fighters want to fight him for his belt. In my mind, that determins the value of a belt.

 

In my mind he isn't a champion, but he is recognized as one, as unfortunate as that may be.

All I'm saying is that I can understand why he (or any other champ out there) wouldn't want anything to do with offering Kessler a voluntary fight for the belt.

Mundine should definitely step it up though, but he shouldn't be crucified for not chasing Kessler, as theres many other fighters out there that would do the same.
