I will give you my analytical view of why Mundine is hated so much here. As a boxing fan i can see Mundine has natural ability, he gave Kessler a tough fight yet he continues to fight no name bums and pads out his career record against chumps who couldn't beat an egg!
He mouths off about how good he is and yet when tested against good opponents falls short of the mark, he is irritating because if he fought good competition and then took on the likes of Kessler he would benefit much more and has the ability to actually win! He appears to be satisfied making money here in OZ against no names on the strength of his celebrity status down here rather than his achievements in the ring. He had a good win against Danny Green but has wasted 2 years fighting Sam Soliman 2 more times? and a bunch of cab drivers. Hard to have a lot of respect for Mundine.
