Bill, as much I agree with you on most things, I think I need to clarify your statement.
Mundine, apart from his mouth when he is hyping up one of his PPV boxing shows, is a very good man. He does'nt drink, he does'nt smoke, he lives a good clean life. He is an amazing ambassidor for charity work, and he has not put a foot out of place in his private life and is a loving family man.
Blake, since he has been under the mentorship of Mundine (and our former legend Haumonu) has stayed out of the papers. He no longer goes out on his legendary benders, he now lives a good clean life whilst under the eye of his big cousin and uncle.
There is a another very well known player, a dual international, still is under the wing of Mundine. This player is of course is Sonny Bill. Ever seen his name in the papers for punching someone, or going on a all nighter?
My initial worry is that SBW has the disipline and the sense to look after his career independent of Mundine, Blake I fear will fall apart if he is not Sydney based and has constant mentorship and contact with Mundine.
So in conclusion, Mundine is no bad influence on anyone.
