Anthony Mundine’s American dream could very well become a reality. His TKO win over American great Shane Mosley has significantly raised his profile, and he now ranks in the top 10 in the world on major boxing websites.
According to reputable site Boxrec.com, Mundine is ranked as the No.7 light middleweight in the world, and he sits at fifth according to fightnews.com.
Whether you’re a boxing enthusiast or just a casual supporter it’s hard to miss the little Australian flag that proudly sits beside Anthony Mundine’s name, high on a list, in a division packed with absolute superstars.
Perth born Daniel Dawson is the next highest ranked Australian light middleweight, sitting at 75th in the world.
Current IBF light middleweight champion Carlos Molina is considered one of the best fighters in the world, and rumours have been emerging that the Mundine camp is heavy in negotiations to secure a world title bout against the current champion.
Winning a major belt against somebody with a such a large fan base as Molina would give “The Man” a bargaining chip that could get him his dream fights with Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez, and then perhaps on to ring legend Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Mundine will be huge come fight night as his size is easily one of the biggest in this weight division.
He towered over Shane Mosley at the weigh-in in Sydney last month and after the fight Mosley said, “Sometimes if you look too good, fighters don’t want to fight you”.
Maybe Mundine is Australia’s best kept secret. The US has started to ask “who is Mundine?”, and it’s now or never for them to find out.
