meh. nobody really liked him in league. he was just thought of as that dickhead who's pretty good (thus disproving the notion that his idiotic behavior is to sell fights - he was like this before boxing) mundines talent is not phenomenal. anyone smart enough to recognize what talent he does have is also smart enough to know he's a fraud. i actually think there is an element of being "tony mundines son" playing a part is mundines success. there was a hype-fest when he went into boxing, and once that ball got rolling, it hasn't stopped.
you aussies have the craziest insults, i'm guessing sook is the equivalent of twat? Despite the fact his next few fights are not on the true world stage they still hold interest: can he make 154 and pick up another belt? the contender winner back at super middleweight, rumours of sturm in the US and then there is always the possibility of geale and green rematches. The mundine show in 2010 may not be what was promised in 2009 but the immediate future is interesting despite this, he is still your most talented boxer and if vic/katsidis could make mundine type money fighting in australia i'm sure they would because boxing is a business.
Good post! Though you would think Mundine would have ambition to fight in the states in the immediate future, given he has yet to fight there and keeps bringing up Pavlik, Winky and Paul Williams every fight. Vic and Katsidis rarely fight in Oz but you'd imagine they would love fighting overseas for the attention boxing gets compared to here.
Can he make 154 is a big question. He didn't even make the agreed 74kg last time out and had to pay a penalty fee to his opponent after making him fight at 76kg.
Tut tut Phil. Again, all that time detailing Khoder's car has you overworked and grumpy... What, your pausing for a break to read this, get back to work you lazy ****! :yep
I read in another thread that Mundine hasn't even got a passport! Kats is trying to lure JMM out here. He is JMM's mandatory apparently. (Kats' wife just presented him with a little girl the other day too).
If he can get it i reckon jmm will opt to fight hatton before katsidis for the bigger payday and the fact hatton looks done +1 for england
