Danny Green confirms retirement

Firstly I want to say Well done Danny Green for a fabulous career that kept millions of Australians glued to their seats many times over the years.

He was one half of one of the Greatest sporting rivalries in Australia ie

Green V Mundine, many years down the track we will all have the knowledge of what was a great rivalry.

I really liked watching Green fight and really wished he and Kessler got it on.

It is very strange he has decided to quit at this very moment :huh

Pulling the plug so close to the event...wouldnt be surprised if he is taken to court.

RIP Danny Greens Career

 

Thats the first thing i thought when i heard the news, it forces Mundine to fight someone else which is a good thing especially to all those whingey fans :deal

According to some ppl Winky and Mundine have been in negotiations for a fair while now, at least 18 months but with the injuries and eyeball issue it has taken a backseat.

I think its more than a 50/50 fight, I like Mundine by stoppage against Winky who shouldnt be anywhere near this weight class at this age.

 

18 months aye ? Is there a link to this ?

 

No unless you want Mundines cousin to type one out?

:huh Huh - u serious?? Kessler floored beyer in 3 and beyer dominated Green.

 

Beyer didn't dominate Green. Beyer won a close majority decision and was a bees dick away from getting knocked out in the twelth. Green dominated Beyer in their first encounter. Green clearly lost the second fight but his performance seemed worse than it was because he was expected to walk through Beyer with ease.

 

Methinks the Choc nuthuggers have connived to try and get a rise out of Green fans.

There's some ridiculous stuff floating about here.

 

Didn't know Green knocked back the chance to fight Ottke? That's pretty poor considering everybody bags Ottke as the weakest champ going around at that time.

 

Actually, I got it slightly wrong - Ottke called Green out when Green was about to fight Beyer, and Green said no thanks.

 

Muttley its basically a mundine v Green thread. Whoever you support seems to mean you hate the other so Mundine fans are bagging him and Green fans as happy with the decision. If it had been the other way round I am sure green fans would have been screaming even harder and mundine fans would have been defending. I guess debate of who wins a rematch is gone now so the 2 camps have to have something to argue about:yep :yep :yep :yep :yep :yep

 

If you don't believe you hold Green to a different standard than Mundine then theres no point discussing this any further. Surely you don't need me to give you an example of this?!

The reason why I wonder why you bring up Mundine fighting stiffs, ect when talking to me is because I've never defended him for doing such. I'm in agreeance with you on many things regarding him.

You also say I conveniently disregard other matters such as how Mundine plans to unify, fight big names, ect. Well I disregard that simply because I fail to believe him on that matter. Perhaps I did once, that would have been years ago now, but the penny has dropped for me re Mundine, and I've openly and repetitively said that I'll never believe him re this, and I've also been highly active in criticizing him on this.

Of course I can see the difference between Mundine and Green. I've never said that Mundine doesn't have himself to blame for the reason why he's so disliked.

The Ottke fight that was offered to Green was straight after his first loss to Beyer. Ottke's team called him out there and then. At the time, the concensus was that Beyer would need 6 - 8 months out of the ring because of his cuts to heal, and as it turned out his next fight with Beyer didn't take place until 2005.

Kessler also called him out after he fought Mundine in Sydney. He said he'd like to come back here again and fight Danny because they were supposed to fight before. Greens responded a few days later by calling out Mundine again as per usual.

Pemberton also, and now Garay.

Not telling you what you can and can't write, just saying you brought a lot of irrelevant stuff into the argument. The focus was just on Green before, but you felt the need to go bring Mundine's record of fighting stiffs, using eye injuries as excuses blah blah blah.

You label Siaca a joke of an opponent, when he put up a better effort against Kessler than a guy Green lost twice to. What does that say about Green?
You say Mundine quit against Siaca. He lost via SD for crying out loud. atsch The fact that he fought tentatively and foolishly doesn't equate to quitting.

Same with the Kessler fight. You say he quit during this fight. He gave it a go when. Back in 2005, you were that confident that he wouldn't fight Kessler that you bet another forum member $100 that he wouldn't face Kessler. He was just simply outclassed by Kessler. No quitting there whatsoever.

Mundine's often critisized on here for lacking balls, and you've been one of the biggest culprits with this. I fail to see how Green can be held with such high regard when it's clear to everyone that Mundine's faced the better opposition of the two.

Why the black text?

 

I always laugh at the heroes who criticise boxers who retire. If he wants to retire that's up to him, good luck to him.

I'd say that he has probably over-trained for years and with another family member has just decided '**** it'.

 

Spot on mate!
Although in fairness to Mundine and his ressurected nuthuggers - Mundine has fought at least 2 world champs that Green didnt - Lester Ellis and Guy Waters. Ah, but that was early in Mundines career when it was justified fighting bums, I guess even now it's still early days for Mundine's career.

 

I want this post remembered and logged somewhere. I will bet anyone, whatever they want, that Mundine will officially call Green out of retirement before this calendar year is out! Mark my words Teke! Fighting retirees is nothing new to Mundine but I bet you that he will make a legitimate appearance in the media calling out Green for a rematch! Mundine will never fight a legit contender or champ because he knows that he'll get defeated again, it's a confidence thing. He feels more confident beating up bums and he makes plenty of cash doing it so why would he ever change?
