The man, the myth, the dribble! Mundine talks an impressive game, but his list of opponents is far from impressive, and once again it is clear that Mundine and his crew are in complete control of the Australian boxing establishment.
A week out from his fight with Medley, he cannot make the weight and then has the audacity to sit there and make the comment ‘I’m Like Pacquiao!’
No, Anthony you are nothing like Pacquiao.
He is the pound-for-pound king and a peoples’ champion who embraces his fans, whilst you spit in the faces of the Australian public and media most of the time.
Pacquiao has won seven world titles in seven different weight divisions and has fought and conquered some of boxing’s biggest names in De La Hoya, Hatton and Cotto, amongst a host of other top shelf fighters (Morales, Marguez, Barrerra), and will most likely go up against Mayweather some time soon.
To sit there and say you are the best is an absolute joke.
The best fighters like Pacquiao and now Danny Green fight anyone, anywhere on any given day, and champions like Pavlik and Sturm do not duck or dodge fighters.
They defend their titles against the top contenders.
For years Mundine has talked up big name fights and rants on about being the greatest Australian sportsman, but ends up fighting the winner of the Contender!
What a joke.
The time for talk is over. Either step up and fight the best or admit that you and your management have for years handpicked your opponents in an effort to make yourself look like a contender when so far all you are is a pretender.
