    ^ this is definitely the hot debate among fans.

    Potential v achievements.

    Mundine quite possibly filled his potential given his late start to pro ranks. If he had another 10 fights (before his debut) his achievements could've been greater. Perhaps beat Kessler and upwards from there.

    It's only because he told us of his greatness in advance that we take him on his word and judge him accordingly.
    Very accomplished sportsman no question, his legacy would be greatest if he retired right now.

    I don't think that Mundine could ever have beaten Kessler. In fact, I'll dare say that from his 10th pro fight onwards, Kessler would have beaten any version of Mundine that we've seen.

    On that basis do you think Mundine fulfilled his potential? Perhaps a level below what he predicted?
    GODT - greatest of dream time.

    He probably could have got 10-15% better had he started and committed to boxing a lot earlier.

    starting his career earlier still would not have put a heart in him,he may have looked the goods against the average fighter but he showed a lack of ticker when he fought in the top 10, ability will get u so far,but takes more than that to win a fairdinkum world title

    I don't think it was he ducked anyone,I think it was more,making easy money for him,whether he fought a bum or a great,people are going to tune in to watch him (love or hate him) and he knows that,so he(or Nasser) prob thought who cares who im fighting,im going to generate cash regardless...does leave a lot of questionable fight choices no doubt,but I do think he did very well for a league player turned boxer so late
