Mundine is a poor man's Roy Jones Jr, not quite as quick, doesn't hit as hard, doesn't have Roy's skills, but he is pretty damn good, and an amazing athlete. I would be interested to see him fight Kessler again.
Yeah I agree, he's not nearly as good as a prime Roy Jones but if you just watch his body movements and stance you can fool yourself into thinking your watching Jones.

It's uncanny the resemblence in styles, he definitely appears to have consciously modelled it imo,
