    He should spend the rest of his career on FNF testing up-and-coming prospects.

    I actually gave him the benefit of the doubt going into the S6, but after that laughable performance against Ward and I don't even know what to call his fight vs Johnson, he's done in my book.

    He actually has decent speed and power

    But no heart and determination, He looked like he was going to cry against Johnson even though he may have been up on the scorecards.

    He did put Miranda on his butt in round 8 though and he blamed that loss on an infected colon.

    I think it was Abraham that said Green ought to go up to Lightheavyweight. I think he could be on the right track but if Green loses again. He could always decide to retire for good. I would like to see what kind of run he could make at it. He has never lost a fight above 175.

    Green has not been the same since he became ill and had to have surgery.

    He got outboxed by Miranda, Ward toke his soul, and Johnson was taking his heart too. He has power but doesn't set his shots well and fights with no confidence. Glass heart but I'm not sure how far he would've gone regardless as I've never seen any potential in him.

    The fact he was ahead on the scorecards is the perfect indication of what I truely hate about boxing. I watched the fight, my eyes saw Johnson schooling Green but I kept hearing how Green was ahead on the scorecards. Thank God Glenn KOed him.

    Not by much. McCline fell of a cliff much like Green.

    Imo Green always had the tools: Speed, Power and athleticism, to be an Elite fighter, he just lacked: Heart, determination,
    corner
    (They couldnt even get his stool ready for the time between rounds in the johnson fight),

    coaching(He actually had some good moments in his fight against Johnson, he just failed to keep the rhythm, it didnt really look like Johnson changed anything, Green just fell out of rhythm and got KO'ed IMO) and his management wasnt that good..
