Yep, and it was one of the commentators who said it (paraphrasing Hopkins) when Green KO'd RJJ.

Green himself never said it.

Is there incentive's for Tarver to come in under 200lbs?
If not then this is a good fight as Tarver will be much heavier and just maybe Danny has bitten off a tad to much.
Its the Grandad Championship of the world!

I know Green never said it, it was a dig at the Aussie commentators.

its Australia mate.it will bring in the casual fans.the promo
will be AT KO'ing RJJ and him KO'ing RJJ.except for people
like us who the fuck in the general public knows who Huck,Ross and Cunningham are.its not good legacy wise but it will sell.and Tarver is
certainly better than his last 3 opponents.

Give the bloke a break, he's lucky to still be alive, yet he's fighting the original legend killer Tarver as a tune up!!!!

That is a good point, I completeley forgot about him having major health problems, Dont get me wrong, I hope he beats Tarver and does it convincingly, but from what im hearing this may not be the case of a warm up but more of a swan song, Dannys last fight, thats the word

Should be a good test for both fighters to see where they are at..

I got green by mid round KO

[shiner]

let's get the facts right here kids;
- it was hopkins who said "to be a legend you need to beat a legend"
- it was played in green v rjj doco in lead up to fight
- it was said in response to him potentially fighting green rather than jones rematch if green were successful against jones
- paul upham then "copied" the saying on the night green KO'd RJJ

I don't care what anyone says, this has the potential to be one of the best fights seen in Oz. If green isn't switched on he could be seeing stars!!

Tarver never Ko'd, Green never KO'd?! Yes he is 42 and has 6 losses but look at the opponents.

[one in a million]

Gee hey that's great news, not sure if my little ticker is going to cope with Katsidis, Geale & Green

Facts straight indeed... it was Andy Raymond.
