Message: [QUOTE="The Brizz, post: 2458399, member: 1817"] Most overseas commentators have no idea who Mundine is Fredie. He literally has zero profile anywhere except Australia, the only fight he could get himself was against a 41 year old who hadn't held a belt since 1996 when Mundine was a young league player. The only fighters in recent years to give Australia world exposure are Tszyu, Fenech and to some extent Katsidis (through bloody tough big main event fights in the US). Katsidis is the perfect polar opposite to Mundine and the example as to Mundine's career has been a pathetic joke played out to a limited and waning Australia only audience, Katsidis has fought some of the best fighters on the planet and held his own in brutal slugfests but has never stepped away from a challenge and has always seeked the biggest fights. Mundine early on avoided big fights (he dodged Green for 5 years then fought him at very low weights for Green), he went and got tapped by Ottke in Germany and basically didn't fight anyone else good for years. His best ever performance in my opinion was his loss to Kessler who is a very good fighter, he held his jaw and went toe to toe for 12 rounds with him but yet again he didn't capitalise on the respectable performance by going after other big names overseas, he stayed at home and fought pensioners and parttimers. Saddest thing for me is he is a very talented boxer and athlete who through bad management and an ego that can't handle losing or looking foolish he has continually refused to seek the big fights.
