Never a big fan of Mundine(or Mundane would be closer) even when he played league and was doubtful of his boxing ability, particurily early on. But he does do good work and says some good stuff to youngsters in his community (get off grog,drugs, look to healthy living etc..). A stupid one off comment about 911 aside. Remember many people said the same about a young American (loud mouth, black, an Islamic,etc..) boxer who is know pretty well respected for his boxing and work with the community(i am not saying they are in the same league before someone had a swip!). Prefered to see Green win but Mundine has a great publicity machine which stirs everyone up into hating or loving him resulting in him (and green) making millions from last night alone. Not bad for a boy from Redfern.
