Sometimes at work I get a little bored and assail my long-suffering colleague with philosophical questions. Tonight is no exception.

"Morally speaking," I ask, "is Jamie Packer, as a casino owner, in the same category as an ice dealer?"

He looks at me incredulously. "How can you even compare the two?" he asks.

"An ice dealer wouldn't make anywhere near as much money."

Better than no soldiers thread, right? It is called 'remembrance' day, after all. :lol:

I'd say by alluding to it, you're already not ignoring it. ;)

Nothing more satisfying than seeing Mundine lose! He's a tosser of the highest order.

Without Mundine, Boxing in this country is on life support. Despite having much more love for MMA myself, Boxing has a long and storied history and is a martial art and sport that I appreciate. I don't really watch fights but still care enough to watch some highlights and read the stories. Unless there's another Kostya or Fenech hiding out in a boxing gym in the burbs somewhere or another high profile athlete capable enough to jump in the ring then Boxing is on its way out.

Mundine is a tool.Boxing is stuffed aka recent events. It needs a branch and root clear up. Decent fighters are going to MMA because they can actually win.
Annoying opposition supporters since 1967.
