Jesus... This thing got 7 pages! Really guys? Each and everyone of us knows this entire conversation by heart now. How about we talk some Katsidis, Vic or hell, I'll discuss Bika's wife if we need to, just not another Mundine thread. Mundine threads should be banned unless they discuss something entirely new or he announces a real fight.
Is Bika's wife a good sort then PCE - haven't seen her? ...careful what you say he might be listening and I did see what he did to Casanova on Channel ONE recently!
Dont work mate....I started a Zappa thread with 4 posts in 2 days...another Rocky thread 12 posts in 2 weeks.....like I keep saying everybody loves to hate the man......5 to 1 hate posts in the thread :deal
Yeah I know... still, would be nice to hear something from those camps. I don't know anything about Bika's wife, but she's the topic of 3 posts so far ;P
I'd actually rather discuss Mundine for the zillionth time than talk about Bika's wife. To put it in a nice way, she's got a super fine personality.
He can't hide behind 'theatre' for everything he does mate. And nah, I've never thought about having the national anthem banned, nor never not wanted to go along with it. Hearing that live at sporting events, or seeing it played during the world cup gave me goosebumps and makes me proud to be an Australian. You make it sound like Mundine is one step ahead of our desires, when in fact he's almost the complete opposite, well to me anyway. He has lived a clean life, so what? A lot of the psychopaths and serial killers out there are probably drug and alcohol free too. Going through life alcohol/drug free means **** all unless you use those saved brain cells to good use. In Mundine's case, the average person would be surprised to hear that he isn't Ozzy Osbourne in a costume when he talks on screen.
Ashley mentioned I'll be writing a book about Mundine?? I dont think so. I am one of the people who purchased a copy of "The Man" when it was released... after his 3rd fight from memory?? The fat old cow at the bookshop did make an interesting point when I put it on the counter "A bit of light reading for the evening, I see".
Mate despite 7 pages of replies no one has really hit the nail on the head as to why he is hated. My post may be offensive but totally true. He is aboriginal,and here in australia we are classed as a very racist country and it shows when im at the club watching him fight and gazza and bazza are yelling out petrol sniffing jokes and black so and so jokes. It happens at most venues i travel to. He does have a big mouth and can make outlandish claims but 99% of normal people realise its just another boxer with a loud mouth,promoting himself,no different to when mike tyson claimed he would eat his opponents children. All the mugs over here all get there undies caught in a bunch when he talks,but deep down we all know its bull**** talk,and mundine knows it to,he is just putting bums on seats and to his credit it works. Also the fact mundine holds himself in high regard means he wont just fly to anyones country and fight for peanuts (because all his critics want him to) which makes sense,but everyone over here thinks he should and he is scared blah,blah,blah. Also not one of his critics if they were a boxer would do any of what they claim mundine should do. We all know its a business and all these clowns who carry on about mundine know its a business but when your at the pub with your mates and there all bitching its a case of lets see who can carry on like the biggest tool or who can make the best mundine slur. Most of mundies critics dont fully understand mundine or boxing and on occasions i have heard people yelling out,why doesnt he fight mike tyson or lennox lewis which should give you an indication of the depth of these morons mentality. Bottom line is he is a very talented boxer with unbelievable speed and footwork and on his given night can beat anyone in front of him,but unless he gets paid big dollars to fight a big name he will just keep accumlating a record of wins until something comes along. Yes he could conduct himself in the media a little better,but to be honest mate i dont think he cares,nor should he. Its his right to be who and what he wants to be,and peoples right to love or hate him. You will also see from the replies to this post what sought of people we have over here.
I used to watch a lot of Mundine fights at the pub, and I can honestly say that I've never heard anyone yell out anything racial towards him. Theres no doubt that he cops racial emarks, but in the 10 or so of his fights that I've seen at pubs, I've never heard anything racist from the spectators. If you truely think that him being Aboriginal has anything to do with the hatred he receives, then you simply have no ****ing idea. Go to Aboriginal places in the mid north coast and ask local Aboriginies what they think of him. The ones that I've spoke to all hate him and want to see him get knocked out.
