Agree Mundine has enough speed and talent to also play a major role in the division. As a Kessler fan it's just hard for me to see why Mundine would have a better chance against Kessler second time around. With Kessler most likely being fully fit if they meet again.

Mundine had a perfect shot at Kessler. He had hometown advantage. Kessler was less than 100% for the fight and many aussies have said that Mundine fought one of his best fights against Kessler. What's really there to suggest it wouldn't be a repeat of the first fight or if anything Kessler even more dominant?
I am not sure he could ever beat Kessler... the match up is wrong for him... maybe if he was tought better from an early age he could, but he just didn't throw enough to compete with Kessler, and he didn't use enough lateral movement to stop Kessler from throwing in bunches because he would go straight back and get caught on the ropes alot. Kessler has great timing, and power, and he would probably beat anyone in the SMW right now.
