I .

no offence, but no you couldnt.

He is a very gifted athelete, who has worked very hard and ultimately is blessed with very good genetics. you cant choose your parents as they say.

I think that behind the show he probably isnt a bad person. You have to remember that by creating this show... he has in fact generated income. Danny green, as nice as he seems would not have generated any money from this fight if it wasnt for mundine. He is a drawcard, and by being arrogant and sometimes obnoxious he gets attention. I think mundine's problem is, that he probably is badly managed and has bad PR. some of his points are very very valid he just doesnt express them very well.

You can see that after the fight, the two have made up. the banter over years probably has some foundations but its also a publicity stunt and they played it very very well.

Guys,

It doesn't matter about their personalities, in the end it comes down to who's a great boxer and who's not.
Yes, I hate anthony mundine's character, he's a total d*ck.
But the fact that he's a great boxer will always remain regardless of his persona.

As much as I wanted to see the sh*t kicked out of him, you gotta give it up for the man, cos he deserved it.

If only Mundine can be more like Kosta Tszyu, Kosta got great character, sportsmanship & of course, a brilliant fighter.

Yes

and speaking of Kosta, IMO he's out of his prime, I mean he's still good, but not like he used to be, otherwise he never would have lost when he did.
It's only the age factor and that's natural, everybody's sting gets a bit blunt as time goes on, I mean look at Tyson.. in his time he was just.. great, but now he's just washed up, and just doesn't know how to stop degrading himself.

kosta tszyu doesnt really say anything on tv so how can you judge his character ?

schumiefan, mundine's clearly not a cockhead for speaking his mind

be it (what he says) stupid or not hes miles ahead of greens personallity. i highly doubt green is honest in any way, your just nit-picking

sublime19 your just following the croud now, you said it doesnt matter about personalities, now you say it does

also...listen to what kosta said directly after his fight if you wanna know why he lost, cos being in ya 'prime' (not sure what that is) doesnt mean you're always gonna win. if you fight in a way that your opponent is not-so-good at defending u'll win, both fighters being in their prime or not.

One thing I never do, is follow the crowd

YES it doesn't matter about personality, which is what I said when I was referring to "boxing". In a boxing match, if one man wins, you can't hate him for winning cos of the way he acts, but you gotta give him credit for his abilities regardless of his personality.

BUT, the fact that he's a total d*ck doesn't change, although he IS a good boxer.
