The only good champion boxer, legend Fenech ever fought in all his fights was the one and only Azuma Nelson, the first fight that they had. Mundine would had flogged fenech if they were both the same age and at the same era.

Mundine's career was nothings compared to Fenech's. In his prime at 122-126 lbs Fenech was a beast and a real 3 time world champ. Mundine never really was a champ just held peoples scraps. There's no comparison. Fenech beat future hall of famers. Mundine lost to every a class fighter he fought

very good point by Fenech, Mundine expected him to move up 3 weight classes after 6 years in retirement, but would he ever move up 3 divisions from super middle to heavyweight to fight Tyson?

[@simtauelangi5576]

the good old days when the tv was funny now its all about america and war and shit

[@ccrowder]

Anybody who knows and respects boxing knows Fenech is the only respected champ in this exchange. Could have been one of the greatest ever if not for injuries and a robbery of a decision in Vegas vs Nelson. This clown Mundine is talking shit to somebody a lot smaller and a lot older, put em in a phone booth and Id take Fenech. Put em in the ring in their prime and Id still take Fenech. One of the toughest and best ever.

Mundine was a great athlete. Over self opinionated and plays the race card. A nice person away from publicity. Challenging an old man. It's for the money. Fenech achieved Olympic success and a multiple world champion. Represented the country well. Met his match in Azuma Nelson. That is the way of sport and life.

[@Jet-rx1ji]
