Good article that pretty much sums up Danny Green...Not our best...But he has "HEART"

1* ridiculous analogy...but anyway..there are rules. the geneva convention.

2* as for war. from 20,000 feet, bombs dont ask the age of soldiers or civillians.

green at least takes his beatings, as well as his victories at the weights he sets. whats the problem? his bank balance too healthy for all you ******s?

 

the guy just beat the 5th best heavyweight in the world.

he is a legend for a reason.

 

now you are gonna get hated, even though you are right and cameron chased the fight AT THE EXACT WEGHT FOR 3 YEARS.

some dickheads on this forum are jealous cowards, that will not, and can not, admit someone has succeeded where they know they will fail....

in 40 years who will remember decarlo, or demori........or the rest of the jealous crowd?

 

Good read, he has achieved more than his talent showed, seems like a likeable bloke, always mucking around etc. gave us some good fights, don't agree with the whole ibo thing he went on with after retirement, but hey, he got rjj out here!

 

and RJJ was coming off a good win from a top contender...:deal

jones was washed up to the roy jones we knew undefeated. but he was getting strong again, and started to look the goods again, in the few fights before danny iced him..:deal

 

I never commented on the ko of rjj, just that he got him here, that being said he looked good against lacy, and no one gave green a chance against him,

 

This reminds me... Didn't u loose an av bet to me? cause last i heard my boy choc will be taking on a prime relevAnt champ.

 

This really is a moot point when it comes to Green and Mundine fans

How can people who hate Green be jealous, yet the Mundine haters are not jealous of his success :think

Why can't people just hate without being jealous?? It's a very overused term.

 

:blood

 

green doesnt or rarely fights tomato cans, doesnt mouth off, like; "im gunna be boxings bradman, dribble, dribble, dribble." mundine STARTED his career fighting real opponents, even opponents that had much more experience. he pulled many of em out of retirement to do it, but we forgave him because he had little ring time and had few ams experience. but he never stopped dribbling ****. the hate had already strated with some, because of his mouth. i actually still supported him right up to kessler. the dislike of mundine has little to do with jealousy. its his whole package that people dislike.

green fought his way up. he fought few tomato cans. the briggs incident was unfortunate but i believe his heart was in the right place. make your own mind upon that. i actually think there is more racism, or imagined racism where green is concerned. many percieve green fans as rednecks because they are white fellas. the jealously toward green could come from those that see his redneck fans as some sort of proof he is getting an easier ride, hence more money because he is white. i dont believe there is anything in that......but; you can see green in a slouch hat on a horse charging the turkish guns.....but its hard to conjour that vision of mundine.

importantly, there IS some much passion between fans of both green AND mundine themselves, it is quite possible it may be the superfight to end both their careers. that is how closely they have been tied to eachother in this era. so insepperadle and contrasting, that they may end their era and careers in the same ring.

 

..hard to dissagree with that..
..but i think when it comes to Mundine..everyone close to him knows he's a good bloke..but when it comes to the public's perception of him..well he made his bed..and his millions..when he decided to copy the Ali promotional blueprint..make all the outlandish statements and get everybody payin' to see his arse get knocked out..that is something he and his fans have got to wear..:good

 

Article lost me when it mentioned Green and trenches /slouch hats in the same sentence - the blokes no braver then any of the countless millions of soldiers and civilans that have fought in wars. The crap and bull**** sports journos spew up WTF -'' I got Danny Green beside me as I'm about to climb out the trenches and charge into no mans land and german machine gun crossfire in 1917 ''.

 

Taken out of context perko, it was a hypothetical opinion and I rode with it...well said :good

 

..I reckon 99% of boxers are made of the right stuff..they're fighters by nature..put in different circumstances there's every chance that proud warrior spirit would kick in..it's in their blood...if a bloke calibre of Green were born a thousand years ago he would've been a general...
