Danny Green vs Antonio Tarver... battle of the business men ?

id say hes done quite a lot for the sport mate he brought it back to the public arena , which can only be a good thing, sure i agree hes not fighting the best but if thats his perrogative i dont have issue with it. its not dannys fault that people know him better than a fighter such as katsidis , as you said yourself its a two way street, but i believe hes done more good than harm to the sport of boxing. back to the subject at hand, i think tarver could still be competitive, id like to see him fight guillermo jones though myself!

 

the same argument could be made for mundine, i just dont fancy either of the two anymore, the crap they have pulled has gone on for far to long, its about time either one of them step up or shut up and let the other leading Australian boxers have some of the lime light for a change.

I guess in the end i really cant respect what either mundine or Green is doing and will always critisize the two until they either step up or step out. Its part and parcel of the game.

 

fair enough mate your entitled to your opinion

 

TCCoxsuka why don't we answer this issue re BJ once and for all. Ask Ben K what the contract says? I was at the wiegh in and spoke to Razor (BJ's strength and conditioning coach) and he said BJ could weigh up to the limit but wanted as much money as possible and didn't believe the weight loss would effect him. In hindsight it didn't, he was just too much of a ***** to engage, when he could very welll have won the fight if he did!

I will go to my sources and try to get an answer also.

 

are you sure about that? i remember when Ashley started a Geale-Sylvester thread which you trolled with your anti-
Ashley/BOXA **** i remember you defending Greens choice
of Briggs as an opponent by comparing it to one of
Mundines choice of bums.

The fact is (and some still find this hard to believe) that the fight was never going to be 200LB as claimed and for what ever reason Danny stipulated that it was 195LB.

Now if BJ wanted more money why didnt Danny let him respond to the reporters instead of butting in and answering the question for BJ "He wanted to show everyone where the weight is"

I would be suprized if BJs condition coach told you what you have wrote. Not saying its untrue just that it would suprize me if it was. BJ keept it pretty quiet and i dont think his team would be spruking on to an Aussie that BJ wanted more money so he come in light. I do agree however that i dont believe the 5LB would have made much of a diffrence however in saying that many will also dissagree and say 5LB is alot, which in terms of boxing and weights it is but i just didnt see BJ drained from weight loss etc, he lost the fight because the guy didnt have a big enuf ticker to mix it up on the ropes.

Its not all one sided either, initally after the fight ive had a go at BJ for being greedy as have others, i quoted this interview with Danny Green during that process..

BJs responses were as follows..

Prior to this BJ also touches on the Brown Drink that Danny was consuming between rounds..

 

Mate, it can't be a fact when your simply posting your opinion on the events atsch

Apart from that it's just a lot of whining from the yank "I'm not gonna complain about the drink but" and then he goes on to complain about the drink.

You know, it's just a shame he can't do what you managed to do in your post above Ty - admit that coming in 5kgs less had no impact on the result of the fight because he was simply too chicken**** to engage.

He also contradicts himself in his last comment with "And as far as the wieght...You have no idea. No cash incentives nor anything. Simply put"

".. "

In the second comment of his that you posted he mentions there were weight restrictions "But think about it.......if Danny had no problem with my weight and it was a 200 pound fight why would I rceive "incentives" for coming in less??"

Guy can't keep his story straight.

 

Gee you got me there Stiffy - LOL!

Here's the quote you were talking about above and supplied a short-cut to above that I made in the lead-up to the Briggs fight:

Geez, highly controversial that statement mate!

...and as previously stated, immediately after the Green vs Briggs farce I launched into Green big-time!


I had been discussing/arguing the Mundine bull**** with Ash in another thread immediately prior to him starting that Geale v Sylvester thread. The reason he created that thread was to divert away from the discussion he was already engaged in with me, and have the shield of it being a non-Mundine thread in order to try and stop the previous discussion.

Ash actually suggested to someone else start that thread, and when they didn't, he created it himself just so he could do a runner from the Mundine conversation he was having with me at the time.

Keep digging mate, and I'll keep laughing!

 

I think a Grren V Tarver fight would be a good fight but getting in with one of the other champs a great fight. One in a Millon what news have you got 5 times telling us you got this news then when asked nothing whats the go

 

keep laughing wow you actually believe Ash asked someone to start a thread so he could do a runner
from a another thread.atschdid it occur to you that maybe just maybe he got sick of you repeating the same thing over and over again so started a non-Mundine thread thinking(wrongly)that you would just stop with your
obsession with him.

 

Here's a short-cut Stiffy - see Post #62 - and it was Sox who Ash asked to start the new thread:

http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=291052&page=5

Sox didn't start the thread, so Ash started it himself - IMMEDIATELY.

As you see from the page short-cutted to above (and those either side), Ash did a runner to the new thread he created because the kitchen was just getting a little too hot for him in the Garth Wood thread he had been posting in with me.

The reason Ash was desperate to get away from the other discussion is because he was being forced to deal with some harsh reality Stiffy - something we all know Ash has a lot of trouble dealing with mate.

Hey keep digging though - this is fun!

 

Well I was excited but no-one seemed to join in with me :verysad

If the fight with Tarver does go ahead what would be the most likely date?
It's been a few months since the op, how is the old man holding up :bbb

You answer my questions and I will answer yours :hey

 

With all the political, game playing, bull**** bragging and ego crap thats involved with boxing .. oh yeah and the $$$$ money making fights he's done ok. In the end it's his legacy 'so be it...
