    Assuming he can cut the weight without too much trouble, how effective can he be?

    Thats a pretty big 'if'. I don't even think he can, so it makes it hard for me to guess what he can do. He looked like trash in his last fight, halfway between 160 and 168.

    That's the X-Factor I guess.
    He was very lean @ 168. I think he was 162-ish in his last fight?
    -And yeah, he didn't look great.
    If he can fight like he did against Green @ 160 though, I wouldn't write him off against anyone @ 160 .

    Considering I read he was fighting Shannan fucking Taylor next, I think he'll do just fine.

    Digging up corpses to fight and then calling yourself the greatest after you dispense with them seems to be a good way to gain notoriety and get the general public thinking you're good.

    Mundine has no business at 160. He looks gaunt and off colour and if anything it will shorten his career. He would have been better off moving up to 175 or staying at 168 because dropping weight off an already healthy frame at his age is career suicide.

    I have no problem with Mundine fighting Taylor. Hell, I hope they have s trilogy. I also hope Taylor gets slipped a bad baggie sometime soon.
