I watched the replay of bika vs manfredo and bika is such a powerhouse and boxes very well. bika vs mundine would make for a bloody good fight i reckon and after seeing bika fight the other day i would proby give him the nod over mundine now because i think hes gone up another level. What are peoples thoughts on this fight if it ever happened?

I would love to think Bika could impose his will on Mundine and rough him up on his way to a devastaing KO. To be honest I haven't seen Mundine's last few fights so I don't really know if he has slipped or if he has just not taken the numpties he is fighting seriously but I can't help but think his slick style might not be good for Bika...

Mundine says hes the Man he should be calling Bika out. But will he noway. Bika to strong to fit to fast. Oh and his rateing is to high.

mundine will not fight bika at the moment. he will say he has too many bigger fish to fry, but unless it's the payday that only Green could provide, Mundine will not take the risk of loosing at home.

doubt it will happen. mundine will more than likley continoe bottom feeding untill he gets a fight with sturm(if he even does) the opponents have been so bad latley that i think he is in for a shock next time he fights a real quality guy.
i rekon the GBP deal is bollocks as well. i used to say that if mundine went over to the states and fought good fighters i would support him. but its gotten to the point now that i really just want him to loose.
prob wont happen if he keeps fighting scrubs, and then we'll get wankers like jaafar on here telling us we dont like him cause were jealous racists, or that these tomato cans are good ect ect.
oh well :(

bika would savage him worse than sven ottke did

one of my two fav' moments in boxing. (the other is the chicken dance)

i once saw a t-shirt with this picture and mundines quote "ottke punches like a girl" it was quite good

no he was just meditating thats all.

no way mundine fights bika. he hasn't got the nuts to back up his mouth.

if bika picks up a belt and mundine cant get a shot at sturm
i think mundine would fight him 4 sure

i dont reckon mundine is scared to fight him, its just a risk vs reward thing
bika without a belt is high risk low reward, but bika with a legitimate belt would be a different story

I would buy one!

Mundine had the WBA Super Middleweight belt and relinquished it to move down to middleweight. He said his future is at middleweight.

Bika is now the IBO Super Middleweight belt. For Mundine to fight him would mean Mundine making a liar of himself.

Mundine makeing a liar of him self, Oh I want to fight the best in the world. Rite.

Mundine had thw WBA 'regular' title, when Calzaghe vacated Mundine could have fought Kessler for a shot at the real 'full' Title but he ran scared. Mundine has never held a true World Title only ever the WBA 'regular' title, he has never beaten a Title Holder and he has never been the best in his chosen boxing organisation let alone the division...

Mundine did not have to fight Kessler to hold the title. With "super champion" Calzaghe moving up to light heavyweight he was the one and only WBA Super Middleweight champion. Kessler would have been the no 1 contender.

Nope, he still had the regular title which is pretty much the number one contender and the WBA said he had to fight Kessler for the full Title.

what did you make of Barretts ring entrance then?

Are you saying it would not be a title defence for Mundine? Calzaghe was "Super Champion" having won a round robin of titleists. The WBA decided they had to have their own champion, and Mundine was it. Shitty system, but he was the WBA champion.

In any case, Mundine has said he wants to concentrate on the middleweight division. Maybe he should challenge Sturm.

I guess that is pretty much what I am saying. If you look into it you will find that when the WBA Title Holder unifies the WBA instates them as super champion and then have a fight to determine the 'regular' "champion", which pretty much means they are the second best in the WBA. When Calzaghe vacated Mundine was still the regular champion and the WBA decided that the fight to determine the new full title holder would be conested by the 'regular' champion and the 'number one contender', Kessler. So Mundine was not going to defend his 'regular' title, instead the fact he had the 'regular' Title allowed him to participate in the fight for the vacant 'full' Title. I agree it is a rubbish system but even so Mundine was never the full Title holder. So when Mundine ran like the cat he is the WBA sanctioned a fight between Kessler and Sartison for the vacant full title.

WBA regular champion = Sanctioning fee's

All these Alphabet titles are about sanctioning fee's

I only rate the WBC WBA IBF

And the OPBF .

Apart from that i couldnt care less and dont consider them world champions for holding the other titles. Everyone is to there own though and if people want to accnolidge the WBO WBF and IBO then good on them but i don't.

Wladimir Klitschko holds the World Heavyweight IBF, IBO and WBO titles. I think he would beat the WBA and WBC Champions, even if the WBC Champion is his big brother.
