Green's simply a fraud: Taylor By James Hooper May 17, 2009 12:00AM Last Updated: November 20, 2010 This content is protected Source: The Daily Telegraph SHANNAN Taylor has severed a 10-year friendship with one-time sparring partner Danny Green, branding the former world champion a "bum" and a "fraud". Taylor claimed Green would be little more than a punch-drunk pub fighter had he not cashed in on the coat tails of arch rival Anthony Mundine. Looking to pick a fight with the former WBA light-heavyweight world champion, Taylor also insulted Green's home town of Perth. Green then retaliated by taking a strong swipe at the self-confessed former cocaine addict. "Danny Green should kiss Anthony Mundine's backside for the rest of his life because if it wasn't for Mundine, he'd still be a bum fighting for $10,000 in pubs and clubs,'' Taylor said. "Mundine made Danny Green ... the fact is Anthony Mundine has made Danny Green a multi-millionaire. "If Green won't fight me, I'm happy to fly to that in-bred town of Perth, knock on his door and drag him down to the park. We'll see what happens then. I'm sick and tired of Green bad-mouthing Mundine. History shows `Choc' beat him fair and square.'' Taylor's barbs were met with a stunned silence from Green, who is holidaying with wife Nina and children Chloe and Archie in Fiji. Green then asked if Taylor had been drinking. When told he was serious, Green said: "It's obvious Shannan has thrown the Bible out the window and is back on the gear.'' But for Taylor to fight Green, he would have to step up from middleweight to light-heavyweight. "I don't know what fight Danny was watching, but Mundine gave him a boxing lesson,'' Taylor said. "I went 12 rounds with Anthony myself only a couple of months ago, so if Danny is such a hot shot why won't he fight me?'' http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sp...y-a-fraud-taylor/story-e6freygr-1225712941450
It's hard to argue with what Shannon says regarding Green living off Mundine's coattails and Mundine easily defeating him. I don't think Shannon is in a position to call anyone a bum though.
the media did. not neccessarily mundine. green was only too happy to counter the crap that bumdine was saying in the media. all credit to green i say. good luck to him. taylor is a whinging has-been who is becoming a bitter man. taylor has zero future in boxing. he is finished.
I think Shannon is broke and look forward for a quick Pay Day. Hope not Danny except this because after he kick your ass they will also say he fight a no name again. Shannon if you need money go gamble and hope you win in the casino. There is no way that you or Mundine can beat Danny and the previous fight when Mundine beat Danny was a fake. Mundine only win because Danny drop to much weight and was not so strong. Let him step up if he got the balls and try to fight Danny at CW and he will get smashed up. You are looking for a quick pay day with the wrong man. Danny is all good and not will knock you out stone cold so will he done with Mundine.
He is a bum mate and is a dreaming man. He hope for a quick pay day but he try the wrong man. Maybe Danny will allow him to wash his car for some coins but you will not get the belt. :happy:happy:happy
Taylor's had enough. He got as much out of himself in his fight against Mundine as even I thought he could and still got badly beaten, Love ya Shannon for all you have done and possibly could have done but your not in the mix mate and should quit while your sentences are almost coherant.
Shannon had his day and he ****ed it. At his best was very tidy and could have been anything. What he says about green is somewhat true, but green turned the situation to his advantage and has to be given credit for making a motza from being a limited but gutsy Oz fighter.
F*ck me Taylor should have been playing Lawn bowls for the last 5 years ,his fight against the disgrace Mundine was his darkest hour.!!!!!
x 2 Green wld've been lucky to have a better career than Paul Briggs (and we now how that ended) if it wasn't for Mundine. Although Taylor needs to put a lid on it.
Im not all that gone on Green but for Taylor to say he was fighting bums before the Mundine clash shows what a knobhead he is. Unlike Mundine, Green actually got use outta his passport. Robbed against Beyer in the rematch, wrongly D'qd in the 1st fight when he was starting to get on top. And knocked Lucas out in Canada and they were big names at 160lbs at the time. Taylor is a ****in idiot who is desperatley lookin to fight a name to get a payday.
As for Green and Mundine please stop starting threads about them, they aren't relevant and represent all that is wrong with boxing in australia. Daniel Geale and Michael Katsidis are the 2 best australian boxers at present, simple as.
So much is wrong with this post I dont know where to start. I'll just label you a ****wit and leave it at that instead. ****wit!
