Seems so. He backs out of a fight with # 2 Gennady Golovkin. A fight which was to be held in Mundine's hometown and for a decent purse and a fight which would have made him the #2 contender to Felix Sturm's middleweight belt.
Gennady Golovkin: Anthony Mundine Ran From Our Fight - Boxing News
I think the worst thing he did was drop weight divisions. He looks gaunt all the time and as lost his power and stamina from it. He was a decent super middleweight fighter. I dont make much of Danny Green challenging him again, its basically the same old story with Green. His power continues to brain wash the non boxing educated public and everyone forgets how soundly Green was outboxed in the fight. They all say if Green connects Mundine is out cold, Green connected a couple of times in the first fight and didnt even hurt Mundine but also could barely hit him cleanly. Mundine was one of my favourite fighters, now I just choose to watch coz I cant be bothered to worry about the fact he keeps shootin his career in the foot.Quote:

Completely irrelevant! Mundine is done and dusted as a top line contender in any weight division. If he is serious about competing at 154 or 160 then throw out the challenge to Martinez or Williams or anyone ranked higher than 50 in the world. Mundine is causing a shortage of cab drivers in South America as they all line up for a fight with him.
Who's Mundine going to fight next then? He should rematch Geale, a fight I hope he loses
Mundine was never relevant , except in his own mind.Quote:

It's just to bad most of Australia don't realize he's facing crap and the chances of him getting knocked are in there favorQuote:

I think he had great skills ,wasted skills.
I think hes very athletic but hasnt the heart for the raw end of the game,the end that builds warriors out of adversity.
His heart doesnt believe his own minds hype about himself.
Many of the Aussie public who watch fights are similar to the mentality of Wrestling crowds, they buy into the hype and know nothing of the real issues behind our fighters.
Mundine had a real chance to get some credibility for his already Manipulated career but knocked back a World title shot and a good purse he has always feared Golovkin and has been dodging Him for some years,then the fight gets sanctioned and he hides under the bed.!!!
He is an absolute disgrace,and if he was fighting in my backyard I would closel the blinds.!!!!
