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

My guess is they want a nice easy fight before taking on Calzaghe again!

 

You're obviously not a pianner player then Josey?

 

hmmm, that's a good point - Kessler fought his WBC mandatory in Andrade after being allowed to fight Beyer, and then fought Calzaghe to unify - but the fact remains that Mundine was happy to 'step aside' and allow Kessler to fight Calzaghe instead of him, his mandatory...

The cynic in me can't help but think that Mundine knew Kessler would lose to Calzaghe, which is why he 'stepped aside' with no hue and cry - I don't recall any press from Team Mundine claiming Kessler was ducking Mundine by fighting Calzaghe, if you know what I mean :hey

 

Well at least we can all agree that although Mundine is a talented fighter he is pretty much a joke....

we all know it....

he surely knows it...

the boxing world knows it...

and sooner or later everyone else is gona catch on and then Mundine will have no choice but to do something about it or retire.....



A big help to this situation would be if some of the australian press would stop believing his crap and actually question him about his level of competition etc etc

 

Thats a good point Carlton Blues.

I can understand why people say Mundine's belt is bogus. It is a bit silly really having 2 champs.

But Mundine fought a valid contender is Soliman to win it, and carries all the same rules as any other WBA Champ (manditories etc). While Calzaghe/Kessler dont do much with it, just fight the WBA Champ every 2 years or what ever it is.

 

Talk Talk Talk

Bring on Kessler and Mundine, no excuses $$$ tickets,prizes,ego,bla bla bla JUST BRING IT ON! :happy FFS...

 

I keep hearing and reading it will be Taylor Vs. Kessler.

 

'Crap' can we scrap that idea and get to the nitty gritty of the Kessler and Mundine fight for 2008 :deal :happy

 

Mundine is going to try and live a happy life as WBA SMW champ without fighting Kess.......but lets hope he fights a real top 10 before the year is out.

As far as Mundine saying he is the best in the world........that **** just sells tickets......any of you boxing experts should know this is just show business.

 

Kessler fought Mundine as mandatory - then a voluntary defense against Lucas - unified against Beyer - Mandatory against Andrade - then an attempt to unify against Calzaghe - I'd consider that a pretty good record.

Mundine: won the title versus middleweight Soliman - voluntary defense against Nievas (rated #15 for the special occation) - Voluntary defense against Clavero (rated #15 for the special occation) - voluntary defense against Hamdan (rated #15 for the special occation)... He took the title a year ago and is still to face a top50 opponent... or a mandatory

As for Kessler - according to TeamPalle they will be going after Mundine - and with Kessler's WBA-ranking Mundine might just have to actually step up.

 

Sorry Blues , My Bad ,, I thought because Calzaghe defeated kessler he would automatically be considered "The WBA Man " but obviously he is in fact a fraudulant holder and Mundine is really the bonified Champ , Congratulations Australia ..

 

I didn't say that at all and you know that very well. Everyone here aknowledges Joe as the undisputed champ, everyone here is well aware Mundine is fighting a lot of bums lately. I don't know what more you want from the Aussie fans?

 

regardless of what belt is bogus or not mundine is still only the second best at 168lbs wearing a WBA belt around his waiste........:deal

 

I wld rather see Mundine fight some of the other top SMW instead of fighting Kessler

 

He'd be better off fighting someone like Taylor, easier fight and a bigger reward.
