Since Danny Green he has fought:-
Ruben Eduardo Acosta
Sam Soliman (twice)
Pablo Daniel Zamora Nievas
Jose Alberto Clavero
Nader Hamdan
Crazy Kim
Rafael Sosa Pintos
And now Shannan Taylor - a man who peaked about 10 years and 15 pounds ago.
Mundine is everything that is wrong with boxing - a man who cons the public with false bravado and a ridiculous Muhammad Ali routine to generate numbers to his fights and yet who is so scared, so frightened to his very core of losing his Wednesday night meal tickets that he simple refuses to face ANY quality opponents whatsoever.
The worst thing of all is that he is so supremely talented. Yet we will never know how good he could have been because he never took a chance.
Even when he was up and coming - he always went after the weakest links like Ottke, Siaca, Echols. The ballsiest thing he ever did was fight Kessler AND HE GAVE HIM A PRETTY GOOD FIGHT. Pity poor Anthony was so traumatized by the experience that even when he became Kessler's mandatory a few months back he was too scared to have another go.
Even at middleweight, he is making no noise about Kelly Pavlik or Arthur Abraham - no, instead he wants to fight Felix Sturm
Well, I've posted my last on Mundine. Until his testicles finally descend into his scrotum, he simply is not worth the bother.
