    Boxer Danny Green is capable of destroying Anthony Mundine in a rematch, Jeff Fenech says.

    Jeff Fenech says Danny Green's win over Roy Jones Jr was one of the great moments in Australian boxing history and has tipped his former charge to destroy Anthony Mundine if they ever have a rematch.
    Fenech, who was Green's first trainer after he turned professional following the 2000 Olympics, said he had even predicted the first round knockout on radio before the bout.


    He paid full credit to Green and his current trainer Angelo Hyder.
    Asked where the victory stood in the history of Australian boxing, three-division world champion Fenech told AAP "it was a great moment".
    He emphasised with Jones, who lasted just 122 seconds of the first round before succumbing to Green's merciless barrage of blows.
    "I've been there, I've walked the line of Roy Jones, when you get hit you are not the same anywhere," he said.
    "Styles make fights. I knew that Danny had the power.
    "I don't want to say anything disrespectful to Roy, because I've been there.
    "I had this chin of granite for years, but when you get hit enough times it weakens."
    Mundine outpointed Green in a super middleweight contest in Sydney three years ago, but Fenech was certain the result would be reversed if they met again.
    "If they fight again, Danny will destroy him, especially at a heavier weight," Fenech said.
    He felt there was still some chance of a rematch even though there could be four weight divisions between them, with Mundine expected on Friday to announced his next fight will be at light middleweight.
    "There's one common denominator ... it's called money," he said.
    Fenech's former trainer Johnny Lewis believed Green was best suited to fighting at light heavyweight after weighing in more than eight kilos inside the cruiserweight limit.


    Green's victory cast considerable doubt over Jones' scheduled rematch with old foe Bernard Hopkins early next year and Lewis felt Green should pursue a fight with the former longstanding middleweight supremo.
    "I'm pretty certain after that performance last night I'd go (for) Hopkins, after a real big payday," Lewis said.
    "There's no reason why he (Green) can't do the same thing (to Hopkins)."
    Lewis felt Green's swift and stunning victory over Jones should lead to his status in Australian boxing being re-evaluated.

    "To win so impressively, we've got to rethink our assessment of Danny and certainly he's got to be in the mix of our best," Lewis said.
    WBA and WBC super flyweight world champion Vic Darchinyan offered his congratulations to Green from the United States, where he is preparing for his December 12 with Mexican Tomas Rojas in California.
    Green used Darchinyan's inner-Sydney gym to prepare for the fight with Jones.

    "Me and Danny were training together in the gym, he liked to work hard and I knew that he thought in his mind that he could do it," Darchinyan told AAP.
    "That's most important, if you believe in yourself you can do it. I thought it was going to go longer and Danny was going to beat him by points."

    Fenech wants the rematch.

    Sorry Jeff but you're wrong, Danny won impressively but he is still the same lean mean Robot Machine. He ate 5-6 jabs in basically the 1st minute the hungry ****.

    I've read similar stuff from Fenech in the past, including before the Green/Mundine fight.

    The moment Danny loses, Fenech then says 'The Danny that I trained would have beaten him, etc'.

    I wouldn't take much notice of what Fenech says about Green.

    No he ****ing didn't :lol:

    RJJ landed 2 jabs on him before Green found his range.

    RJJ then landed another jab on him when Green had backed him into the corner, and alas, that was all he did :yep

    If you think a potential rematch with Mundine at a weight that Green is obviously more comfortable at and has carried his power up to ends in a schooling by Mundine then you need to take off your haytershadez, dude :lol:

    Dreamer go watch the tape.
    Rjj jabbed him numerous times.
    And also how do you explain how green will use his power when he cant even land on mundine.
    Power is worthless if your not there to hit.
    Proved that last time.
    And enough of the weight issue.
    You were quiet happy to brag about green smashing lucas,and almost beyer and how good green was for his first 19 fights,but when choc ate him up and spat him out..............oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh its not greens natural weight.:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|

    nah, 2 didn't land, Green had found his range by then and kept his head out of reach of RJJs jab

    EelsFool, I just did...here's the link:

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlTx-ohunnc&feature=popular[/ame]


    RJJ lands 2 jabs :lol:

    one at :59 and one at 1:27 :lol::lol::lol:

    Go on, watch it, watch closely whenever RJJ throws his jab...those 3 he throws when Raymond makes the 'cobralike left hand' comment don't land :lol:

    The other 5 or 6 he throws either don't land or hit Green's glove.

    You're a ****ing arseclown mate :nut
