"Sugar" Shane Mosley and Anthony Mundine finally meet Wednesday in Sydney, Australia.

The aging fighters were slated to face off Oct. 27, but Mosley withdrew one day before, saying he wasn't paid the remainder of his guaranteed purse in advance (totaling $1 million.)

This time around, Mosley got his money and the fight is on. There's no clear favorite in the bout and the loser is in a tough spot. Daniel Geale, who split a pair of bout with his bitter rival Mundine, gave BoxingScene.com his thoughts on Mosley-Mundine.

"Shane Mosley is definitely a great fighter, he's a fighter I have amounts of respect for," Geale said. "His fights with Oscar De La Hoya are some of my favorite fights. I'm not sure whether he's taken this fight for the right reasons. I know Anthony Mundine will be taking that fight to probably try to gain a little bit of recognition at the end of his career. I don't believe he deserves that, but it's not for me to make that call.

"If Shane boxes half of what he used to, he should win that fight," he continued. "But it's a tricky fight. You have to travel to Australia and fight the Australian, that sometimes can be tough. Whether or not Anthony has got much left, that has to be said as well."
