Mundine slams Daley and Beetson

He's right about Daley but that's OK.

Some people of mixed race are raised to embrace there heritage, some aren't. Doesn't make them a lesser person because they don't.

He only appears to embrace it when it involves his bank balance however.

And for someone who claims so much it's mind boggling that he perpetuated the myth that all indigenous people where 100% wiped out of Tasmania

Shows he doesn't value his history quite as highly as he publicly states.

And I was a major fan of the guy until recently, what he has achieved in two sports is pretty amazing.

From choc's recent comments, Geale, Artie & Lozza are not black enough for him. I take Mundine is now the barometer for Aboriginal authenticity. Interesting concept.

Makes him look like a wanker deluxe.

Funny thing is I have met him a couple of times, away from the cameras he comes across as a completely different bloke.

I've heard that from many sources.
He does a great deal for various charities.
I'm not much of a Mundine fan, but he is actually a really good boxer, you can't be a World Champ without having some skill. It's a shame that he resorts to shock tactics to create publicity.
Should have kept his mouth shut and let his boxing do the talking and would have had a few more in his corner.

Mundine needs to shut his mouth (when pigs fly) I hope he gets his lights knocked out!!!

talent is arguable

This line gets trotted out all the time. And frankly i cant understand how its arguable.
Daley was by far the more talented player of the two. It was evident pretty much every time they stepped on the field. He was a better ball player, kicker, had better vision, was a much better defender. You could make a case that Mundine was a better ball runner, but then again Daley was a far better runner before he did so much damage to his knee he was pretty much playing on one leg.


Daley was the better player and the most talented. I dont see where the argument could be made that Mundine bested him on those fronts.

Mundane will end his career and life as a couldabeen and nothing else.

Thank god for true aboriginal role models like Matty Bowen, Preston Campbell and David Peachey to name a few.

Really, as much as I don't like him. He'll achieve more than a large percentage of people. He is/has been a world champion. That is an achievement in itself, regardless of your inability to accept that fact.

if I could achieve the following I'd be pleased - interim WBA Light Middleweight Champion, two-time WBA Super Middleweight Champion, IBO Middleweight Champion and played SOO. if that makes you a couldabeen then I'd take it in a heart beat. It's true jealousy is a curse.

100% correct & I am not a fan of Mundine. If anyone says he is a boxing chump, they clearly have no idea about boxing. He made Green look 2nd rate.

Maybe someone should remind him of his loss to the guy from the TV show the Contender, that'd shut him up for 5 seconds

He was definitely at his peak when he put Green to the sword.

But, his PR routine is getting boring. While I'm not aboriginal, isn't against their culture to talk of or about the deceased (Artie).

I never realised Daley was a Koori until he coached the aboriginal side. He keep that quiet during his career, I wonder why?
