    Seriously, all media **** storms aside. As a boxer/personality what do Mundine fans like about him?

    I fear I am very close to becoming a hater.

    I mean, no offense to Danny Geale, but Mundine has just gone life and death with a 'who?' same as he did with Sam Soliman on two occasions and losing to Manny Siaca. And yet the **** that spews out of his mouth with regards to his greatness is just unbelievable.

    What is his greatest victory? Soliman/Green/Echols/Geale??? It's not much of a legacy is it?

    So if i may ask what makes some people want to swing from his nuts?

    Start you off:

    1. Nice guy in private
    2. Very gifted athlete
    3. No drugs or drink

    Gifted sort of, but is it just me or when he was throwing combos the other night his punches looked tense and not fluid like with full arm extension, it's like he is trying to be too quick with giving away precision and technique, he's accurate with quick 1 2 shots but when he tries to put a combo together he seems to just throw them at air, i noticed that against that old jap dude as well nishidishwasher.

    It is. But seriously Teke. Do you like him purely to stir the haters up or what? You're an intelligent style of fella - what's the go?

    Im a placid person, not much gets to me.

    His ranting a raving about being the best i just laugh off. I like his athleticism, used to love him as a footy player and it followed into league just the same as if Sonni Bill became a boxer.

    Im serious about the logo, its the simplest best boxing logo out there. Actually Don Kings Crown is pretty cool to.

    Yeah Mundine isnt comfortable throwing crazy combos like Calzaghe or many others. Mayweather is the same.

    All I'm saying is that. The way Mundine fights this is what I like, he is a very good defencive fighter, watch the geale fight, look at all the punches that Geale missed. that all.

    I don't take any notice of mundine's mouth, I'm a hardcore boxing and have been for over 15 years, All this crap mundine go on about is about MONEY and he is the first Australain sportman to play anti sports star who doesn't care about kissing ase to make money selling products and being Mr Nice guy. But it made him millions.

    i dont believe itsall about money. it probably is for the hook nosed arab, but i think anthony really believes he has a calling. he believes he is meant to be the best fighter in the world at his weight. and THAT, will never happen.

    fenech was far and away more domminant in his divisions and even he cant claim that. he was 1 fight away from it...a fight that never happened. and fenech moved up and fought nelson...

    that is the generic excuse not to do what his mouth screams.

    so you are saying he is a liar and he wont go overseas now and 'fight the best'?
