I understand that Anthony was alot higher ranked than Pablo Daniel Zamora Nievas when he fought for a world title.... But Kostya Tszyu won a world title after 14 fights Jeff Fenech only had 7 fights before he got his shot. So why doesn't Pablo after having 19 fights deserve a shot. you also have to take in to consideration that a higher ranked Super middleweight would not fight Mundine on short notice beacuse it is such a Danger fight for a boxers career
(with that I mean fighting for a world title on short notice and being ranked in the top ten and losing, hypathetically would mean winning your next 4 or 5 fights to get another shot for a world title so thats like a year grinding your way back up because you weren't properly prepared the first time)
Its great that Mundine wants to stay active and we all know its a lead up fight for bigger and better things. So lets Give Pablo a go and there's always a Rocky feeling to these fights.It's still exciting!
