2. So was Antonio Tarver in his last fight 3. He was only a SM because he was chasing choc around for a massive pay day and schooling, Then went on to claim he was never a real SMW and that his best weight is light heavy, why wasnt he lining up to figth briggs at that stage |

"25 year-old Kessler had been directed by the WBC to face Green in Perth on December 12, but declined.

Do you think Adamek is interested in coming back down to CW or LHW when he's aiming for a big $$$ vs one (or both) of the Klits? 3. In other words, Green was at SMW when Briggs was at LHW, right? |

2. I wouldn't expect Adamek to come down and fight Green, why would he when he is chasing the Klits, just pointing out Tarver was a heavy in his last fight 3. Yes, that is correct, But you cant have your cake and eat it too, Green whinged he lost against choc cause of the weight being a problem and that Super Middle was never his proper weight, yet he campaigned there for many many years and you are reinforcing that he was a super middle, To be honest i think he would have destroyed Briggs in his prime too, but im also sure it would have lasted longer than the 29 second debacle |

My point was, tarver is campaigning at heavy too, he has said he wants to win the heavy world title, Yet that hasn't stopped Greeny calling him out, Whats stopping him calling Adamek out? Yes, Green fought, Jason Delisle, Otis Griffin and Paul Murdoch (all at Light heavy) when Briggs was still an active Light Heavy |

this fight is getting some U.S interest.
[url]********sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=6302299[/url] When former light heavyweight champion Antonio Tarver and Australian cruiserweight contender Danny Green could not come to terms to meet last fall, Tarver instead moved up to fight at heavyweight, where he turned in a shaky performance in a decision against Nagy Aguilera in October. Green, meanwhile outpointed American B.J. Flores in November. But with Tarver's opportunities limited at heavyweight and Green vowing to return after a medical scare forced him to have his appendix and a large abscess removed earlier this year, the two reached agreement to fight each other. They will meet July 20 at the Sydney Entertainment Centre in Australia, they announced at a news conference on Tuesday. The 38-year-old Green (31-3, 27 KOs), who will defend his minor cruiserweight belt, has won 10 consecutive fights since a decision loss to countryman Anthony Mundine in a 2006 super middleweight title eliminator. Among Green's victims during his streak: Roy Jones Jr., whom he knocked out in the first round in December 2009. Tarver (28-6, 19 KOs) and Jones share their own deep history. After losing a light heavyweight title fight to Jones in 2003, Tarver scored a massive upset by knocking Jones out in the second round in the immediate rematch in 2004. In the 2005 rubber match, Tarver dominated Jones en route a decision win. "He is a future Hall of Famer. If I can defeat Antonio Tarver it's another massive feather in my cap," Green said during the announcement. "I think this is a much harder fight than Roy Jones. I see this as a harder challenge as far as height, reach and his awkwardness and power. He's a more powerful puncher than Roy Jones was." Tarver, who is 42 and will be fighting at cruiserweight for the first time, will be fighting for only the second time since a clear decision loss to Chad Dawson in their May 2009 light heavyweight title rematch. "I'm ready to show the people that I'm not a washed-up, over-the-hill fighter," said Tarver, who appeared at the news conference via satellite link from his hometown of Orlando, Fla. "If there was a time where I got knocked out and beat up in the ring, it would be time to hang them up. I see young fighters that have more wear and tear than I do. I preserve myself, I take care of myself. "I think a lot of people underestimate Danny, but you can all rest assured that come July, I'm not only going to finish Danny Green, but I'm gonna put on a show that you won't forget," he said. |

u should have known that tarver was only going to fight at heavy to try and get lucky and get a big payday vs a klit, not because he thought he would beat him. u should also know that adamek is all but guarenteed a fight with a klit, so he wouldn't need to fight green. and adamek has a much much better chance of a victory vs a klit than tarver, albeit he is unlikely to beat a klit. |

IBM I think that you will find that Green fought quite a few times in 01, 02, 04, 06 and 07 at LHW Briggs fought from 01 to 07 as a LHW I Know he fought out side these dates as well but these were the same times that they were both fighting at the same weight. not taking sides just stating facts |
