Lexi, comparing that sore loser Mundine to Ali is utterly ridiculous. Mundine does NOT attract huge crowds, he has never been good for boxing, people despise him for his bitter, twisted manner.
Almost anybody these days can fight at the "so called" top level, because there's literally dozens of different versions of a multitude of titles. Back in Ali's days, there was just a handful of available titles and you really HAD to be the best in the world to get that title.

Compared to Ali, Mundine is a virtually unknown nonentity. Ask general populations outside of Australia who Mundine is, and they'll reply "who?". Mundine is known in Australia primarily for his whinging, sour attitude and NOT for his boxing. He's an immature child who has yet to grow up and become an actual man.

Dear Dell,

So I take it that you're disputing the fact
that Mundine's fight was not a sell out,
that people did not pay to watch it in
large numbers and that he does not know how
to sell tickets or that his "trash talk," does not
give him any publicity (shades of Ali).

I'm looking for a an appropriate word that
would accurately describe your opinion...
"inaccurate" might do it.

Lexi, that's a strawman response. Do you know what a "strawman response" is? Probably not. It's when you say that someone is saying what he actually DIDN'T say, then you argue against what he didn't say. Nice try Lexi, better luck next time.

The boxer who beat Mundine must be racist because he didn't let Mundine win.

Dell,
Well, it might just be Lexi's standard like so many other of her responses.

G'day LEXI...

I couldn't agree with you more ! Like him or not, he's sufficiently savvy to know how to generate all manner of controversy and dissension to a point where most people dislike him immensely, to a point they'd like to see him resoundingly beaten.

Interestingly, years ago I met his Dad (Tony) at, of all places, Parramatta Gaol. It was a Sunday morning, we'd just dropped off this crook, after an out-of-hours hearing at Parramatta Court, and met Tony and his entourage coming into the gaol, as we were leaving. We had a five minute chat, and that was that.

Apparently, he (Tony) used to teach the crims boxing every couple of weeks or so and was well regarded by many, for both his civic work as well as his personal behaviour. Never met the son, but prima facie, he (the son), seems a 'mug'. Where his Dad, a gentleman.

Though, what would I know.
