    IBO cruiserweight champion Danny Green made a personal phone call to Bernard Hopkins and left a message for the veteran; challenging him to a showdown in Australia. Green is fresh from last week's first round knockout of Roy Jones Jr. The win crushed any plans for a Hopkins-Jones rematch that was tentative for next March in Las Vegas.
    "I have left a message on his voicemail, personally - and I said to him you are a legend, let’s get it on," Green said to WA Today. "Did you think we could bring Roy Jones Jr. to Australia? We did, so there is no reason why Bernard Hopkins can’t come."
    It not very likely that Hopkins would ever consider fighting Green in Australia. After last week's win over Enrique Ornelas, Hopkins tried to make a case for a Jones rematch to still go forward because he felt the ref was biased and stopped the fight too soon. He said "that's why I never go to Europe." Of course, Australia is not part of Europe.
    ​


    I think Green is feeling like he is on top of the world.He is getting way too carried away with the win over Jones.

    "You are a legend... Lets get it on.."

    In plain English... "You're a washed up bucket of money... Lets get you on the canvas too.."

    to be honest, I wouldn't mind seeing Hopkins come down once again.It will just add a lot of excitement to australian boxing, and we will see more coverage of it in the media.
    Bring it on.
    Needless to point out how pumped everybody was about the Jones/Green fight.

    Pigs Arse.. Hop has not kept regular, not even in the shitting department.

    One fight this year????? How many?? ONE???

    He's another Cash-Cow ready to be milked!!!

    If a soft **** like Pav cant keep B-hop on the back foot, in mixed trouble via number punching.. What hope does B-hop have against a better powered puncher, who can punch in numbers.. to an extent.. Green might get tagged agreat deal.. yet Jones and B-hop are notorious for throwing flashing combos of numerous punches that look good on Tele.. Nye Nye B-hop.

    I've just picked up Hopkins-Ornelas but havn't watched it yet,have heard although BHop won fairly decisively was getting tagged more than usual. Will be interesting to see.

    Although Im one of the biggest Bhop fans ever, he has to **** off soon and I hope Danny is the one to do it.

    Danny has heaps of gas left in his tank and could give an old **** like Bhop nightmares if Nard doesnt take the challenge seriously.

    The easy pick for me is Hopkins pts win but I reckon Danny has the mungrel to do it.

    A Green/Bhop fight will go down as one of the dirtiest roughest encounters in recent memory :deal

    Spot on. Neither would take a backward step. If one goes low, rest assured he's getting one straight back.

    Danny would have to set a mean pace. Hopkins can get outworked at this stage of his career by sheer volume of punches.
