Thanks Andre.

Yeah, I suppose I get a bit bummed when I see a guy not make the most of their talent. I respect Geale because he's been actively seeking out fights in Germany against good, solid guys. I feel Mundine should have been way more pro-active in trying to get bigger fights.

He's always making excuses - but Tszyu showed you just have to be willing to suspend your ego in terms of money until you've established yourself over there, then once you are top dog you can start calling the shots. Mundine (and Green), I feel, likes the few hundred grand he could pick up for fighting some really non-threatening guy on a Wednesday night in Sydney or wherever, and it all just got too easy for him.

Darchinyan and Katsidis both followed the Tszyu mould - although looking at both those guys, and how much money Mundine has made, you wonder is it worth it?

Would Darchinyan and Katsidis like to be where they are (having the respect of hardcore boxing fans for their willingness to fight the best guys) or Mundine's bank balance?? I suppose Tszyu showed you can have both if you're good enough...

Very, very frustrating.
