One Fighter With The World At His Feet

Australian has numerous good fighters and world title holders. However when it comes to natural ability and talent in the sport of boxing one fighter is at the top. He was a former rugby league player, playing at the highest level of his sport. That fighter is Anthony Mundine who goes by the alias "The Man".

Mundine had no amateur background which has allowed him for rapid improvement throughout his professional career. The champions such as Barry Michael, Jeff Fenech, Paul Briggs and Kosta Tzyu have all agreed about the potential this Australian boxer has. Simply put, they believe he has the ability to dominate the middle divisions and become one of, if not the best fighter in the world. They are some big predictions but are they justifiable, is the main question.

As a big supporter of Danny Green and Australian boxing i have to say they are most likely true. As seen by his performances against Danny Green and Soliman, Mundine continues to improve since his last loss to Kessler. He has speed, great power, supreme footwork and top notch defence and an ever improving chin. So much so that i think he can beat any fighter in the super middleweight division if things go right for him on the day.

All he has to do is be more aggressive, this will allow his natural ability to show. By simply being more aggressive i can not see any fighter in the middle divisions beating Mundine, if he has a good night and everything goes well for him.

Saying this, he does not believe in himself. Its a shame really, the ability and talent is obviously there for this guy to be a top fighter. But sadly, he lacks confidence and genuine agression when he fights to support his talent. For the health of Australian boxing, lets hope the man gets confident with himself in the ring, out of the ring he is no short of confidence. But with more confidence in the ring and aggression, we may be watching something special by an Australian, something we have never seen before.

A simple message. Fight the best Anthony. No one is going to hold it against you if you loose. You can beat Kessler, Bute, Calzaghe, Pavlik, Australia knows you can. Stop wasting your time with guys who are no threats such as Nievas and Clavero. Fight the best, to be the best, something we know you can be.
