By Dan Ambrose: In an open letter former WBA super middleweight champion Anthony Mundine (47-6, 27 KOs) posted on his twitter account today, Mundine called out WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0, 26 KOs) for September, saying he’s “the only one that can solve the Mayvinchi Code” if given the chance.
Mundine, 40, is ranked #4 WBA, #4 WBC, so he’s not even ranked high enough to be a mandatory challenger for Mayweather at junior middleweight, if Mayweather even cared about stuff like that. What Mayweather does care about is whether his opponents have a fan base in the United States, and unfortunately for Mundine, I don’t think he has much of any fan base in America.
