Anthony Mundine:what is this guy thinking?¬?¬

[Mikkel_K]

Guess who his next fight is against: a world enthralling trilogy v Sam Soliman!!!?! What the heck?Q H'es beaten him teice,once via stoppage. And how stakced is 168 at the moment? Mundine is ultra talented but his choice of opponents is becoming unacceptable even to a an such as myself. What a lunatic.

I have said it here before, and I will say it again:

When you know that an alphabelt is coming your way, and you don't even have to lift a finger to get it... Well, why risk it?

So Mundine will keep fighting bums and also-rans at the very least until he is crowned legit WBA champ. Sure, it is annoying to us fans, sure it is unacceptable and all that, but logic it does make.

There is nothing more prestigious in boxing, then the WBA "regular" title.

There is nothing more prestigious in boxing, then the WBA "regular" title.

Obviously there is. But not every fighter is going to be the p4p best fighter in the world, some have to settle for less.

Consider the options from Mundine's point of view: I have the possibility of taking on this big, prestigious fight with a certain chance of losing. I can do it now, no belts on the line and get the amount x. I can do it in three months, a world title on the line and get the amount y.

Now this is pure speculation of course, but I'd say there is a good chance that the amount y is bigger than the amount x. And even if you say 'screw the money', if I were a boxer, I'd honestly rather retire having held a world title, than retire having not.

Feel free to disagree.

Since Mundine takes so many joke fights I figured that would be what this thread is about considering the title but even I was surprised by this.

Great another rematch nobody wants to see...

[Tam Seddon]

Does he not realise hes in the best weightclass in terms of potential to beat a lot of upcomers and show hes the best? Hes up there near the top and a fight like that is doing absoutly fuck all for him. Fair enough with his eye infection taking a couple of easy fights, but what does this prove? NOTHING! He needs a big name after this fight or else hes going to loose a lot more support.

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

Fwockin garbage... He's a mess!

[Dizaster]

I hope Sam completely knocks him the f'k out!!!

He's going to go down as the biggest waste of tallent (and space) in Australian boxing (or sports) history... I want to respect the guy, but what the hell is he doing to earn it.. More importantly, what is his manager or promoter doing to earn him respect

I'm just completely sick of it.. I'm sick of seeing him on the news waving his stupid head in front of the camera saying "i'm the best, i'm the best, no one can beat me, i'm the best and i'll beat anyone out there! come get me!!"... I'm sick of hearing that shit from him.. And i'm even sicker of him coming on television and hyping up his, waste of tallent fights, by fanning out a bunch of $100 Australian notes and posing with it like Floyd...

He may be fooling the 10,000 wanna be Australian boxing fans who wet there pink panties over getting tickets to see Mundine vs Soliman, but he's not fooling any fight fans....


I want to respect the guy!! I really do! But every time I think, "I want to respect the guy", he goes and books a fight that means nothing if he EVER wants to actually get anywhere in the sport of International Boxing...
He's a money hungry bitch, and at the moment, is making to much money in Australia taking these rubbish fights... Sorry, but if any other boxer was doing this in America, making useless Trilogies while they have the tallent and opponents to actually move forward with their career, they would take just as much shit.. And deserve it..

Quit wasting our time, or you'll soon have no fans!!!
