Yep, Froch would be good. Mundine has ability but when tested by good fighters (Kessler)he has fallen short of the mark. The next twelve months should sort things out with him one way or another.
A Calzaghe fight in Australia would attract huge numbers in Oz..40,000 attendance not out of the question.
You gotta give credit to Nievas, he's one tough guy. If you saw the fight he got hit with everything Mundine threw & still kept coming. He was just totally outclassed. Mundine coulda won the fight with his jab alone! I was quite disappointed Anthony didn't end it. Around then 9th, 10th & 11th Nievas looked ready to go & was getting caught by some big shots. But instead of pressing the issue Mundine choose to lay back & lay on the ropes a lot. I don't know it he was waiting for Nievas to punch himself out (which looked like his plan) but Mundine needed to keep the pressure on & end it!
I've always been a fan of mundine. I agree with Galaxy that mundine should have ended the fight against such a low ranked opponent, particularly if he wants people to take him seriously when he talks about how great he is. No doubt tho, like most boxers he will come out and say he let it go the distance because he wanted to get rounds "under his belt" or something similar.
