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!:hey
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 **** 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.
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
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!! :nut Tarver never Ko'd, Green never KO'd?! Yes he is 42 and has 6 losses but look at the opponents.
Gee hey that's great news, not sure if my little ticker is going to cope with Katsidis, Geale & Green :bbb
