    :lol:

    Apparantley Wright wants to use Mundine as a 'tune up' for Pavlik. Skipping that Mundine is actually a harder fight for him stylistically and a better fighter in general, someone that he can't beat because of his lack of power and difficulty with guys who move well.

    Now, a lot of you guys, including the Ring rank Wright P4P, the win over Wright gave Hopkins his re-established P4P spot by the Ring.

    I don't personally rank Wright or Hopkins P4P top 10 at this point. But some of you do...

    What would a Mundine shutout victory over Wright do for him?:lol:

    Mundine P4P?:rofl

    Jeez, I don't even have Mundine top 25 p4p, I wonder if Ring would actually include him in their biased rankings in the event of blowing out the vastly overrated and declined Wright that they are so high on.:yep

    Great result for Kessler if Mundine dispatches of Wright.

    The answer to many questions here is : Soliman.

    It's a bold move from Wright, and I agree it will be a harder fight for him than Pavlik.

    Mundine is lightning quick and can punch hard as well, and is constantly evolving - Wright is on a steady decline.

    Man, what would that mean for Kessler then? Who defeated a younger version that nobody gives hardly any credit for?:yep

    Then what does that say for Calzaghe?

    Would the boxing world be onto something that a select few have been onto for a while now?

    Please, please, make this fight happen!:lol:

    This would put the final nail in the coffin that says "Circle jerking recognition".

    How will it be close? He has nothing that Mundine would fear and therefore Mundine will just go all out on him in an attempt to impress, no tenativeness.

    Could you update me also, how the judges could be so different on the score cards against Navarro?

    This is a terrible style matchup for Winky right now. I wonder if Mundine will get any credit if he wins, which he should unless he fights a dumb fight?

    What is even more strange is that Winky thinks this is the best fight to prepare him against Pavlik!:nut

    **** fight to prepare for Pavlik, since Mundine's style is completely different.

    However I disagree that its the easier fight stylewise.

    Mundine keeps 'em too low, he'll eat a lot of jabs in there. I think it is FAR from a walk in the park for Mundine vs. Wright.

    Size is the biggest problem for Wright, stylewise I don't see any problem.
