I think Mundine will win and still be hated....He beat Danny Green twice IMO!!!

Mundine is probably up there in the Australian all time greatest athletes.

Played in 3 NRL grand finals
Successfully won a premiership
Was the highest paid NRL player
Played state of origin for NSW
Started a boxing career at age 25
Has fought 50+ pro boxing bouts
Won 48 boxing fights successfully
Highest paid boxing star in AUS
Still active boxing at the age of 43

A punch drunk boxer like all the rest - didn't know when to quit -
he could have a bleed on the brain and go down badly tomorrow
boxing is a dangerous sport.

His doctor should have never let him fight - it's a scandal.

Age has stuff all to do with it, Bernard Hopkins was still winning world titles at 48-49

Mundine never did well against the good fighters in their prime

Nice. Horn def a world class fighter.

It was the right to the lower left body which hurt Mundine...and that brought his hands down.

Was it a case of one more.

Which became one too many...!!

It's an impressive resume.
But I wouldn't call the sport NRL (Nat. Redneck League) much of a professional sport.

...and that's the word:

Which, sadly - Mundine (jr) has NEVER been.
Many athletes can become #1.
Sadly for , he did it via Media and being an ... not being a professional.
He is also a disgraceful racist for the black Australians.
It even showed in his match against Daniel Geale (Tas. Aboriginal) - where Mundine's fans called him an (an African American term  )

Mundine is nothing more than an Ivan Drago, Mr T and all the other 'Losers' who make it to the top to be beaten by real professionals and champions... like Rocky.

He was a quick back-foot boxer, but he took the back-footing too far (extremist) and never had any essence of a 'fighter' about him.
In truth, he had as much courage as a guy who comes in from behind the bar to lay a few kicks into a guy on the ground during a brawl, then to race away again.
He could only take matches that accommodated his 'comfort zone' or at least offered him a monster payout.

Occassionally he would have to step out of his comfort zone and be forced to box against the likes of Kessler or that German guy who knocked him out. Against these guys, his true form showed and he was just an 'average' Boxer to any degree.

Mundine has shown how well 'Marketing' can be used to make money. He showed how a 96 Mazda could sell just as well as a Toyota Hilux 2018, with a display or raising anger and hatred against him.

But that was Mundine: full of anger and hatred for everyone around him.
Of course, there is talk of him doing much PR and Charity work. So too do many others - it makes him nothing special and in truth, it makes him kinda condescending in his way of attaining the money.

There are far better Boxers in Australia, than Mundine has ever been and far better Aboriginal-Australian Boxers than Mundine ever will be remembered for.

Like Roy Jones Jr (whose father once sat in Mundine's corner) - Mundine was EGO based.
It's not hard to beat the Mundine Ego either. Just throw money in his face, spit at him from the pre-match press conference and tell him it would be a pleasure to beat him for 'FREE'.

Professionalism?
Well, makes you wonder why the Ring Magazine rates the of his weight of
He was just as much an athlete and far superior one than Mundine ever achieved. He could Box, Stalk, Punch and Fight: all four factors of Boxing and do so in a 'brave' manner.

Mundine (and Fenech) are so pathetically bad for Australian Sport: It is these two that have ruined anything about it and its Professionals like Geale, Green, Tszuyu, Horn and more who try to keep it afloat after these two Tossers have ruined it. 

Most people in Australia couldn't care less about Anthony Mundine. He got boring years ago. The only interest people still have in his boxing career is seeing him  get knocked out. That's the absolute truth . A few people like him but not many. People all over Australia are cheering right now.

He got the national anthem stopped at the fight after he had a big whinge. He hates us cods. He hates middle white Australia.

age against him/one more paycheck/ his time was up- some even suggested he threw the fight - no comparison to Ali I agree- what a joke

Because he is a 43 year old "has-been" who was just there for a payday. I would get into the boxing ring to fight Horn, if I was guaranteed a 5-figure pay for a loss. But, I would not get the television audience to see my ass handed to me by Jeff.

I like both Mundine and Horn. I don't have an issue with either of them.

Mundine laying flat on his back, on the canvas, is the only Aboriginal Art I'd be willing to pay to see! 

When's the rematch?

Anthony Mundine is not Bernard Hopkins..

You're talking about a very rare exception to a very well defined trend: that doesn't mean there is no well defined trend!

Learn some statistics buddy
