Is Tony Mundine an Aussie pound for pound great?
I would please like to ask you in your opinion, was Tony Mundine, father of former super middleweight champion Anthony Mundine, an Aussie pound for pound great? He won the Australian and Commonwealth middleweight titles, Australian and Commonwealth Light Heavyweight titles, Australian Cruiserweight title and Australian Heavyweight title twice. Does he belong to the Aussies like Les Darcy and Jeff Fenech even though Mundine never won the world title not even the alphabet title unlike his son? He's obvious belongs there and what is your opinion?

Yes Clive, Anthony's dad is one of the all-time great Aussie pound for pound fighters and fought 6 champions either former, current or future and also fought one of the all-time great contenders in "Bad" Bennie Briscoe. Also, Mundine's 64 knockout wins is very impressive to us.

Plus he KOs the Aussies from 160-178 who have won alphabet belts in this era of watered-down "champions," like Geale, his son, Green and Solomonscorpio83 wrote:Yes Clive, Anthony's dad is one of the all-time great Aussie pound for pound fighters and fought 6 champions either former, current or future and also fought one of the all-time great contenders in "Bad" Bennie Briscoe.

Tony Mundine never lost to any fellow Aussie throughout his 96 fight career in 15 years.
