Re: Mundine has to go after Pavlik

We can all sit and try to be smart, but Mundine knows far better than any of us if there is a chance he could beat Kessler again. He has answered that completely. I think it would be a huge error to go after Kessler as Kessler would beat any 160-168 fighter except for Calzaghe - and Kessler is going...

I'll hold my hands and say I picked Kessler to beat Calzaghe. Where is all this nonsense coming from that Kessler isnt a good fighter? I mean he dominated Mundine in Australia - Mundine is a very talented fighter. And Joe admitted Kessler stunned him a few times. And Kessler definitely won more tha...

Difficult fight to predict. Jensen is the taller fighter with the best wins and is undefeated. Monrose has home advantage. I concur! Jensen is more versatile, but Monrose is slicker, imo. I just saw the fight. Jensen got hit early in round one by a hard punch that Monrose didn't look like he knew w...

I think we all agree that Froch needs to win the belt against a true world class fighter like Kessler or Bute. Mundine may work as well, but I don't really see others that would. Miranda would be a great defense, but I would hate Froch to fight e.. Miranda without having met world class first. It ju...

The fights I would like the most are: Rematch Kessler in the US or Europe (Kessler probably still is the only one that people really believe has the potential to beat Joe) Fight Mundine (this is very unlikely to happen, but Mundine is a younger and curently better version of RJJ - and if Joe doesn't...

Maybe that may have been the case and Joe would have been ruined by the experience. I don't know with certainty whether that would have been the case - but you seem to have absolute opinion on it. I think Stu's outlook is very fair. Calzaghe's greatest prime opponent to date is Kessler. Much as I l...

Overall it was the toughest fight that Calzaghe's ever had.Hopkins took away the confidence with the early knockdown and proved to be a bit of a stylist nightmare for Joe.For me Joe was able to just do just enough with Hopkins fighting on the backfoot too much,due to not having the legs to work eff...

I think there is the subconscious thing going on where ppl can see how awkwardl effective Bernard has been, yet know that this just cannot go on any longer with Hopkins just coming in spoiling. I mean, Bernard could probably fight just about anyone to a draw if he works so hard on merely spoiling a...

Come on guys. I am Swedish and have no beef wit heither fighter. From an outsiders observation Calzaghe clearly won the fight. Apart from a few straight punches (about 1 or 2 each round) Calzaghe did all the boxing in there. It should not be a surprise that Joe won on volume - he has always done tha...

I agree Ben, We just don't know about 'the man' because of the standard of fighter he goes up against. I can however see him dropping back if he can find the right opponent.

Re: mundine at middleweight

how would he go? speed is mundines greatest weapon. speed of hand and foot. and mundine is regarded as a puncher, and physically strong, even at super middle. i dont know how hard he does it to make SM. but i do know he has spoken of fighting at middle. which suggests that he feels its at least pos...

If he can make middleweight - he definitely should. His main problem is that soem SMW can bully him in terms of sheer power - for instance I would avoid Andrade at all cost if I was Mundine. Pavlik would also be rough for Mundine, but I think he would beat anyone else - well Abraham vs Mundine is pr...

Joe has finally woken up and he has revenged a lot in recent couple of years. However, overall he should have been thrown out there much sooner. Personally I think he may have given RJJ his first defeat. Roy is not so unorthodox as Joe he is just very fast at was he does - and has some spectacular m...

He still has quite a good earning potential in boxing.. Outside of boxing I doubt he can ever earn as much - no matter what shiny plansd he has now.

Mundine's loss to Kessler was an honorable one. But I don't think his loss to Siaca was as honorable. His loss to Ottke was expected and ok, but the KO was not. Mundine has a fair chance of beating Ottke and Siaca and the Australian public would pay to see him try to venge those defeats. Therefore I...

It is probably different from person to person, but I cannot perceive a person under 150 pounds as ferocious - unless he wields a big bread knife or a gun at least.

As such it would have to be Tyson.
