what do you mean "The wolves come out" when he looses. The wolves have been out on this idiot for ever and a day. Who has he fought? What has he done to declare himself so great. The guy fights absolute no names and then goes and compares himself to Mayweather. The same idiot who declared himself the greatest pivot ever to play rugby league. the guy is a joke, a side show. And im not a Danny Green fan either.

Exactly, well said.
Every time Mundine loses, (well, thats TWICE, isn't it?) you get pageafter page on site over site, of people denigrating him. Its not so bad on here, I'll say. But on yahoo, for example, you had people calling him a black c***, f***ing abo, muslim piece of s***, telling him to do the world a favour and go hang himself; I mean, where does this hate come from? He's outspoken, sure! And yeah, he calls himself "The Man" but so what? Its a nickname! In a full contact, confrontational sport, self-promotion and trash talking aren't such a bad thing, when at least your opponent has the opportunity to knock you out.
I laugh when people seem to think its ok for Glenn McGrath to say some of the horrible thing he did to batsman, coz "sledging is part of the game", when the batsmen he's sledging can't do a physical thing about to shutting him up. But then in BOXING where his opponent has the oportunity to knock him unconcious if he crosses the line for them, people complain about Mundine being a loud-mouth! And as for this fight, most of the trash-talking I heard was coming from Woods corner. As for the Mayweather comparison, I've never HEARD that from Mundine. He may have said it, but all I've heard is he wants to fight bigger names in the US, and eventually work his way UP to fighting Pac or Mayweather.
I also like following Darchinyan, Katsidis, did like Tzyu, but I do like the showman aspect of watching Mundine, and hope he does make it to America for some bigger fights, win or lose...
