More reports in yesterdays press, Munine has been highlighted for bad sportsmanship in not shaking hands with his opponent after the fight.
And others in his group very much under review for their behavior.
Its recorded Anthony asked what more do I have to do to win their respect?
Well it is no secrete bloke, even I can tell you, show respect earn respect.
And drop the man rubbish, at least until you earn that respect, your fans will give you a name, maybe it will be the man, but self praise is no recommendation

There has always been a racial aspect to Mundine's cockiness. It can appear that he is one of those aboriginal people who thinks that he is better and more specifically tougher than non-aboriginal people. It is time for some of his supporters to get fair dinkum about opposing all examples of racism.

I think what you are saying is quite true.
And its the heart of the matter, the idea that racism is behind the man is wrong, but some actions some miss use of the term racism, resembles racism.
Can you be racist without understanding you are?
Well yes in my view.
Away from home for work overnight on the north coast of NSW.
An area I once fished in most weekends, I knew local first Aussies so went to the club.
Sat amung them at the back to watch the man fight.
Every punch he threw bought cheers from most of them.
A drunk who would be an idiot what ever his color was, screamed abuse at Green, the mans opponent, every punch.
Screaming he had no guts about ten times each round.
After the fight those around me hurt by lack of clapping yelled about white racism, while my members who had sat with me spoke of the idiots racism.
No one ever spoke like that when Rose fought, we love the troubled bloke still.
The man has to understand he has to stop the trash talk its unAussie unwise and if he scored a double ton in a cricket test, rode the next three Melbourne cup winners, scored 6 tries tonight for the Blues he would still be our most unpopular sportsman.
But if he said sorry, it was just an act?
