Danny Green's TKO Victory was a Fluke!!

I don't want to appear as a complete ass, but I saw your thread title, clicked it, saw your avatar and failed to read the post. Danny Green won legitimately and the stoppage was fair.

 

Green has a pretty awesome KO % man. He has a habit of catching opponents with "fluky" right hands.

 

If they fought again and it happened again, what would you say? A punch is a punch and a TKO is a TKO. How many times has Tyson stopped someone in the first round for example? Especially with his first punch. Nobody says he was flukey. Now I know what you're saying. Tyson is an A and Green is a C. Maybe green is a C because he's been fighting C fighters because thats the only oppurtinity he's had. Maybe he's greater than a C - it's a possibility that nobody knows until he is tested again.

 

If that fight wasn't an indication of the decline of a legend then tell me what was it an indication of?

 

It wasn't a fluke. Green landed the solid shot which decided the bout. It would be a fluke had Green not meant it, but he backed Jones up, saw the opening and threw the right hand.

Jones still has good skills but it was foolish of him to come into a fight cold and with his left hand dangling against a big puncher, especially with his shaky chin.

 

Everyone knows that even a 40 year old Jones could outbox Green. Green is a strong guy with a big punch. He went in there looking for the KO and he got it...I wouldn't say it was a fluke. Roy is still a better boxer than most but the point is he can't take a punch at this stage, which is why he keeps getting KTFO and he needs that punch resistance to fight at this level.

Jones-Hopkins would be a better fight because Hopkins is light punching fighter but it's not a credible fight after one guy got destroyed like that.

 

It wasn't a lucky shot. Green set it up by forcing Roy to the corner, then landed once he got him there and Roy doesn't have the punch resistance to take a shot from a solid puncher, which Green is, nor does he have the legs anymore to get away from shots thrown by competent opposition, which Green also is. Hopkins probably doesn't hit as hard as Green, but has faster hands/more accurate punching, so he would have no trouble finding Roy, and it would probably be a systematic beating by B-Hop if the two continue on with their fight. Roy should retire now while he still has his health.

 

Green shut Jone's mouth and at the same time his incredible ego.Roy's finished.

 

Im honestly concerned for Roy's health at this stage. He's been beat up a fair bit if he keeps going he might end up damaged. But yeah, it's his life. If he's going to fight anybody I guess Hopkins is an OK choice. Much rather see him retire tho. It's sort of like how it was with Tyson - We want to recycle him and relive some of the old magic. But its gone. Have to stick to the video tapes (er, torrents I mean ).

 

Green was a career Super Middleweight who won trinket belts at Light Heavy and Cruiser against low level opposition. Roy fought him because it looked like an easy fight on paper given that Green had been badly outboxed by Anthony Mundine, Green wasn't a true Cruiserweight, and Australia was willing to put up a lot of money to host the fight. However, Green can punch, is pretty tough, has ok skills, and was bigger than Roy. No question Roy's the better boxer, but that doesn't matter since he doesn't have his legs or punch resistance anymore to get away from decent competition. He wouldn't have been able to stay away from Green. Hopkins would give him a prolonged beatdown. Doesn't mean anything, in his prime obviously Roy would have schooled Green, and was just too fast for B-Hop prime for prime, but that's not the case now. He should retire.

And Amir Khan is now champ because of very careful matchmaking. The only time he faced an actual puncher he was stopped in one round. Not a surprise that he hasn't faced one since, or that he fought the worst of the 140 champions.

 

Jones is past it & chinny. Tarver, Johnson & now Green have proved that.
