The problem is, we here Aussies are so starved for an international sportsman in general, and a boxing one specifically, that he can sell out as many dodgy fights with Sam Soliman and other B Class fighters for as long as he likes here...
It may be his management, but during one of his "i'm the greatest in the world" speaches, he could maybe throw in "I want to fight some of the worlds OTHER greatest fighters in the world"...
God, i've started on this subject before and I can't stop... The real, true, completely annoying part of the whole Mundine saga, is that he has some talent, and it will be completely wasted.... He has evolved since his last loss and I think would do a lot better against Kess the second time around.. But it's never going to happen... While he's putting himself on the stage of being a "champion", he's got to start acting like one.. And I don't mean running his mouth... I mean, getting in the damn ring with some of the great great competition out there...
