That is complete bullshit. Green was not tight at the weight, he had been fighting there for years of his own choice and in world ttile challenges, and the 'weight drained' excuse was never mentioned in any way, shape or form in any of Green's prior bouts, during his Mundine preparation or even after the fight. Green readily admitted- "I was beaten by the better man on the night", and that was his tune until his comeback.

It was not until Green started his Dannyweight campaign that the excuse that he was 'weight drained' began being used...probably on Angelo Hyder's suggestion. Danny imo came up with the wrong excuse anyway- he'd have been better claiming he overtrained for the fight at the behest of the Cuban trainer, it's more plausible even if it is a false claim.

The reason Danny came back fighting at 185lb's is- a) he really did retire, stop training and underwent that 'filling-out' body process is jsut too difficult to reverse, and b) at 185lb's he could pick and choose to fight opponents at his 100% optimum weight- which is a good trick to stack a bout in your favour if you can pull it off viz sanctioning body (insert IBO!).

Awesomely stupid comment...what exactly does the word 'boxing' mean to you...I'm only wasting my time commenting on your crud because I despise false revisionism.

I also echo the above poster's comments that anything Mundine could do, Roy Jones Jr would do infinitely better. A non-old/shot Roy Jones vs Danny Green matchup at 175lb's would have been excruciatingly embarressing for Green.

That's another story????
Sorry for pulling your paragraph apart in the way I have, but I really enjoy seeing the different idiotic premises it contains standing bare and alone.

Why would they have fought at 175lb when Mundine was campaigning at 168 and Green had had his title fights against Beyer at 168lb's.

It is people like you who give Aussies a bad name as parochial imbeciles, you have some ****ing abysmal thought-processes at play.
