can anyone answer me this?

he's gone from super middle - light middle

is he trying to break the record for going down weighst and winning titles?

is he staying at LMW perminantly or is he going to fight sturm after fighting the contender winner?

He said last night that he wanted to be the first fighter to go down 3 weight class's and win a title??? This i find strange.

He'll come back up straight away he believes fighting for a vacant title IBO(hard luck trophy in this case) he'll be a 3 division world champion, he'll then fight a couple more bums and duck a few more people.

Look Adam,

I think even a fanatical 'IBO baby' fan or boxing expert would be hard pressed to answer this question. I am definately do not fall into any of these catagories.

I feel very sorry for the bloke, he lives a very pure life, he does'nt drink and is actually a very good example to youngsters upon how to live. If he were to compete at world class level he would most definately not look out of place. His handspeed is amongst the best in the world, his abililty to find angles that really annoy an opponent into coming in and for Choc to fire off 2 or 3 scoring shots is his best asset. World class.

I am annoyed about the waste of talent, I am annoyed that he is wasting that talent by becoming a protected fighter only interested in Brand Mundine, when the Mundine Brand is slowly becoming a joke.

I am one of his biggest critics, and I would love for Mundine/Boxa to step up to the plate and take on Strum (whom I think he could beat), but there seems to be a bit of Audley Harrison about him. Great talent, a world beater, but can not take that final step because there is something in his head holding him back. Was it the Kessler fight, perhaps, but he needs to step up right now and get Australia back on side or else all he needs to do is take a look how my fellow Brits treat Fraudley Harrison.

That is not a bad post given I have'nt slept in over 36 hours!!! :o :o :o

I think the Aust boxing fans would be more interested in Mundine V Bika, but that might be a risk to mundine, all he is trying to do is Counter act Greens 3 weight Division titles and get back into the spotlight. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm sure Mundine wants no part of this trio.
If he watched Williams MD over Martinez today he'll avoid these blokes like the plague.
Slick punching southpaw Martinez is definitely not your average " Argentinian cab driver "
