Man or Myth~The Legacy of Anthony Mundine

Actually a fair article.
i'm still be cheering on the man if he lands a fight with Trout!
And really hope for a geale return fight with Mundine hopefully finding something in the tank and a great fight from both fighters!

 

good article mate, shows a relatively unbiased description of his career, and it is very sad that he hasnt been willing to test his capabilities and earn more support, but has rather taken the easy road, and if he fights a legitimately decent opponent for a belt , if it is against anyone other than geale etc i will support him fully.

 

Choc could have been anything but chose the $$$$$'s instead of fighting to his full ability , he eased off the gas too early and went for the bucks, Choc will be known in the boxing world as an also ran when the elite are being talked of .

 

He stepped up to the plate twice and was beaten by both Ottke and kessler ,since that happened he has fought Cabbies and has beens and over rated fighters all through his career.

Lets not get to carried away with his suspect career he had some Class but fell way short on the world stage,infact if he went to the States as a young fella we would be saying "Anthony Who"

 

Choc was # 5 RING mag at SMW and won a few regular titles......why are you even talking about elite fighters

This is what you dont understand Josey.....I'm happy with choc winning the aussie title :yep The rest was a bonus :deal

So what if he didn't go and become p4p......I take my hat off to him for going so far :good

Hes going to end up 50 - 7 and may just pick up another title along the way....not bad for a dragons 5/8

 

No mate, choc couldnt have been anything. Thats the biggest myth.

 

He got to #3 at 168 The Ring rankings Ash. Also when Mundine beat Echols back in the day Echols was no3 in the Ring Ratings

 

thats right LOL gav, back in the day you learnt this **** off by heart, recited it over and over and now its etched till you go to the grave.

on a serious note though, Mundine was too cautious fighting Echols. He had the ability, even back then, to beat Echols much more convincingly than he did. He just didnt trust himself.

Sounds like you're still on the bandwagon though, huh...

How did the golf thing work out for you?

 

The 'Man' (sorry I just threw up in my mouth a little) has been fighting handpicked opponents since the Kessler fight with the exception of Green & Geale. He has fought overseas only twice (three times tomorrow) for a loss to Ottke (one of the greatest days in boxing history seeing him get ass handed to him by a bloke that would retire with only 6 KO's from 34 fights) and a highly controversial loss to Sullivan in NZ. He won't fight overseas because he knows they he will get smacked by superior fighters that have heart and aren't scared to take a punch. His legacy will be of a great athlete with some boxing potential that had quick hands, quick feet a glass chin and stomach but good management that threw away any chance of being remembered as a good fighter to chase the almighty dollar.

 

sorry but the Sullivan fight wasnt that controversial. there were only 2 fights in his career that can be argued went the other way and that was Soliman 1 and Geale.

The rest I agree with.

 

... and Tasmania.

 

They keep pulling up Echols for f*ck sake he was suffering substance abuse problems and I think he had a Bullet in him from a domestic dispute he was well and truly finished,thats why team Mundine always had him on the radar he was a perfect candidate to further his very manipulated career.!!!!

 

gentlemen pleeeeze!....no more Mundine threads!...I beg you!...pleeeezzze!!!:gsg:wall:crying:ahhhh
