Hmmm.. that is a difficult poll. You would have to vote Mundine for now, but it could soon turn out to be Ward. I actually wont vote because I need to see Ward in with elite opposition first.
Please. Theres 2 men who can beat a prime mundine over the past decade. And thats Calzaghe and Kessler. He cleans out the rest. Ward isn't in the same class as a Prime Mundine. His skills on the inside are better. But Mundine would get the job done. With his lightning jab and the straight right. :good
Miracle man, parden me but the only thing mandy mundine has cleaned out in the past decade is the argentina/japanese/phillipines/aussie cab ranks out, thats about it.
Ward wouldn't beat the guy who showed up against Danny Green. No chance. Kessler and Calzaghe would. Thats it. :deal
Ottke seemed to have a pretty easy time with him when he knocked him out, but whatever, I'll take your word for it.:good
Key word of the title. "Prime Mundine". Not "Amateur Mundine With 10 Pro Fights and No Am Career". :deal
The Siaca loss was only 1 year separated from the Kessler loss. Clearly he wasn't far from reaching his prime to lose to a fighter of Siacas' calibre and only one year later, Kessler. But whatever, its not worth arguing over as you're obviously delusional.:good
Actually its not good to use Mundine as an example how good Kessler is! 1. Mundine was not prime (in teori) when he faced Kessler, he could have got much better if he had continued facing quality fighters after Kessler.. but he never did! 2. Kessler was nowhere near top condition when he faced Mundine, only 30 sparring rounds, a back surgery wich did he wasn`t able to train prober up to the fight, and he was afraid to throw to many hard punches due to his back problems! Andrade, Lucas and Siaca was better performance by Kessler imo! I think Ward would beat that version of Mundine easily!
I suggest you to watch fights before posting hilariously silly comments, and that is a free advice is for your own good.
Its funny....everytime someone brings up a fighter from the past he always does better than the current boxers. (Note Mundine might still be fighting but is not in his prime) Why dont you appreciate the current stars of boxing. Btw Ward is not in his prime from my point of view. Not untill they lose of retire they become greats. Roy was blasted by many in here when he was in his prime. Now he is an all time great. Why is that ??
