Mundine to do big things in the MW division.

[eagle]

Here is a prediction from me for the rest of 2008 and 2009. I am a confused Mundine fan, I hate his out of ring shit but admire his skill and think he has the tools to be a better fighter than many ppl think.

Mundine fought at 168 without ever dieting, which means he has always been more a 160 fighter anyway. He is much improved and could beat anyone at 160 on his night.

I think if he gets some of the big fights in the division he will be seen as a top 2 MW by end of 2009. Laugh if u like but im pretty confident in this prediction.

Thoughts, and please make them intelligent

If Sven Ottka can KO Mundine , it would be a video nasty if he fought Pavlik.

[CFH]

I think he'd be competitive against the top 160lbers, I don't think he'd beat Pavlik and maybe not Abraham, but I could see him doing quite well.

I think he'd surprise ppl against Pavlik. May lose on points cos of Kelly's superior workrate. I'd actually pick him to beat Abraham.

[Dark Lord Al]

He would definatly suprise me if he lasted 6 rounds with Pavlik.
And to be fair i think he is the biggest prick in boxing , closely followed by Paulie Mallanaggi.

See that is a dumb post. Did Kessler KO Mundine? Just cos Mundine got KO'd in his 10th fight some 25 fights ago dont mean he is gonna get KO'd whenever he fights somenoe who can punch. Danny Green was maybe the most powerful puncher at 168 when Mundine fought him and he never got hit.

Saying that the Ottke v Mundine fight is still relevant is like saying that the Pacquiao v Singsurat fight is still relevant. Has Manny got a glass jaw cos he got sparked early in his career?

The ottke fight is often brought up by ppl who have seen little or none of Mundine fighting since...

Mundine destroyed Soliman who pushed Wright to the limit. He totally outboxed Danny Green a top 168 and 175 fighter, and was the first person before Calzaghe to seriously push Kessler. Thats right none of that counts cos he got Ko'd in his 10th fight which happened to be a title fight. He was fighting for a title when most contenders are still beating up the Charlie Zelenofs of the boxing world.

That to is a dumb post as Mundine has fought 2 non cab driver's since that fight, losing to Kessler and beat Green, but Green was over his hill by then and was never as skilled as mundine. Mundine needs to prove himself before he gets any high fives from the public. Unless of course you want to see Mundine - Soliman IV, it's getting more rediculous than the rocky series.

He wont be heading for big things if he takes fights like this one he is planning...

Anthony Mundine vs. Shannan Taylor in The Works - Boxing News

He may aswell stand in front of a truck as this will do as much for his talent as the fight against shannon taylor :S

Mundine has decent skills, but he is a joker, the fights he chasing prove it. He's just looking to make as much money as possible for little risk by fighting other Aussies, soliman and Taylor were never world class, and he actually ducks a payday with a credible opponent in Kessler (going to purse bid he'd have got the lions share of the purse as well being champ.).

He ran away like a bitch from Kessler, giving up his title in the process so he could move down to middleweight and setup this superfight with Shannon Taylor.
Frankly I'm quite sick of hearing about him.
The guy has no heart

Ok Green over the hill. I guess all over the hill fighters move up a division and win a WBA title. Shot fighters do that all the time....

As Majesty said, name the last time a top fighter at 168 or 160 called Mundine out? They dont cos they know he is a threat.

Too many ppl let what a fighter does out of the ring blur their judgement of how good these fighters are in the ring...... Happens all the time.
I think the only guy who would beat Mundine at 160 at the moment is Pavlik and even that'd be closer than most ppl think. Over in 6?

My original post said that if Mundine moves to 160 and gets a few of the big names he'll be in the top couple in the division. What is so wrong about that?

I'll stand by my claim and admit it if im wrong, will the guys that say he is crap admit he is ok if he gets to the top 2 or 3 at 160. If being top 3 in a division is not doing big things then what is?

Mate did you even watch the Green title fight? The other guy would have thrown like 3 punches the whole fight and green was never the same after Germany.

How can you tell how well he will do against good opponents? Seeing as he hasn't fought any in years, he ducked Kessler, plain and simply ducked him gave up his "world title belt" just so he wouldn't have to fight him. Now he's fighting another one supposedly not up to his skill level. I am starting to think he will never be up to their skill level simply because he will never fight anyone decent.

After all even I can look like Roy Jones in the ring if I am fighting people way below my skill level, but against people my own level thats not always the case.

If Sven Ottka can KO Mundine , it would be a video nasty if he fought Pavlik.

if that knockout had any relevance anymore then Mundine wouldnt be a current champ would he?

[Majesty]

I don't think Mundine ducks anyone but it isnt like any other super middleweight called out Mundine or tried to get a fight with him.

Miranda, Pascal Calzaghe, Mack or that guy who does backflips.

none of them called out Mundine so how is Mundine ducking them? Shouldn't it be the other way around? or is it the only way around with fighters you prefer over the other?

I think Mundine is pretty good. But I don't think he's ducking anyone since no one has been throwing out his name.

My point was that Mundine hasent fought anyone who can hit like Pavlik and he has shown a weakness in the past to a light punchers , so my opinion is Pavlik would brutally KO him .
I think if they did fight after 2 or 3 rounds Mundine would have a swift and sudden fall from grace , and sunny days would feel far away .
