In an interview yesterday when appearing on a sporting/comedy variety show... Mundine stated that he was going to beat Joe Calzaghe and Mikkel Kessler in The Super Middleweight Division.

He then went on to state that he plans on losing a few pounds and beating Winky Wright and Jermain Taylor in The Middleweight Division.

Some Australians "respect him now" because he has "proven them all wrong" through his victories over fellow Ausralian Boxers Danny Green and Sam Soliman... and also... by the fact that he is now a 2-Time WBA Super Middleweight Champion.

I say again... when Mundine took on 3 World Class Fighters in The Supper Middleweight Division... he was knocked out COLD by Sven Ottke... didn't like that... so he boxed on the outside against Mikkel Kessler and Manny Siaca... knowing that if he got too close... he'd get knocked out again... and Mundine's too scared to be knocked out.

He lost those 2 fights by Unanimous Decision.

So far... he is yet to have any real legitimate victories.

Green and Soliman were just as overrated as he was... and The Australian Boxing Scene at the moment isn't much for starters... and that win over Antwun Echols? He just barely got off a court date... and didn't have the time to train and prepare properly for the fight.

Mundine's shameless self promotion tactics (Rap Music, Video Clips, TV Shows, Celebrity Big Brother etc) are just stupid!

I admit he is a good athlete and a good boxer (and should've stuck with Rugby League)... he is not great... and those 4 NON-AUSTRALIAN Guys that he says he will beat... HE IS DREAMING!

He even stated that he plans on winning World Championships in several other weight divisions... not just Super Middleweight and Middleweight.

Does anybody here think that he can beat the likes of Calzaghe/Kessler/Taylor/Wright?

Are you australian? yet you seem to be insulting proper Australian boxers?

Danny Green isn't the best "world class" boxer but he isn't no one i think he has a title shot soon and it doesn't matter if he doesn't win because i will support him although i wouldn't care if Mundine lost to anyone in fact i would be happy because sure hes from my country but he talks so much **** that i don't want to be from hes country.

Anothony Mundine V Danny Green 2 is being discussed by the fighters managers and could happen later in the year.

Are you Mundines ego?

Mundine v Green 2 would be a waste and a backwards step for Mundine. I think green is a smart ass and there was nothing better than seeing him walk out against mundine looking like G I JO all serious and ready to go and then just getting hit with punches he could not see all night.

not his ego just think he got the skills to beat the best

Mundine/Green would be pointless... Green (although he is a much nicer guy than Mundine) is not as good a boxer as Mundine... If Green can actually make it far as Light Heavyweight and beat Dawson/Tarver/Adamek or have an all Aussie (technically Paul Briggs is from New Zealand... HE WAS BORN THERE)fight against Paul Briggs... I would welcome a Mundine/Green rematch. But at this moment: THEY BOTH SUCK!
