Gergan: A. Mundine is stupid!

By Ray Wheatley -- World of Boxing

Charlie Gergan, who trained and managed Australian great Tony Mundine, the number one middleweight and a highly rated light heavyweight during the 1970s and 80s, is upset with comments WBA super middleweight champion Anthony Mundine has recently made. "Anthony has made some silly statements regarding he can't lose to Sam Soliman because he is a Christian and not a Muslim," Gergan said. "That is stupidity. Anthony must realize that the three boxers who defeated him - Sven Ottke, Manny Siaca and Mikkel Kessler were not Muslim. He also said Shane Mosley is a Muslim. That is also wrong. Anthony is a good boxer but is not nearly as good as his father Tony. I am sure his father would have defeated him easily had they both met at their best." Gergan also trained and managed former WBO 140 pound champion Sammy Fuentes. "I lived in Redondo Beach, California, for many years and enjoyed my time in the USA training boxers including world champion Sammy Fuentes." Gergan currently trains several boxers in Sydney, Australia.
