Green V Hopkins a no go according to Dan Rafael

Dont know about beating him well. He only has to fall over the line to command a rematch, most likely on Bhops turf and another couple of million will follow.
The golden era could once again be upon Aussie boxing. RJJ then Bhop fighting in front of packed venues with big PPV contracts.
This would be very tempting for European fighters and Yanks still hurting with recessions on thier door steps to not take up lucrative fights down under.

 

Flamengo, you watching the 20/20, David Hussey is destroying NSW....

 

No mate.. Im in Melb, so its delayed I guess.. there a Pirate movie with a chick with a hairy chin being showed atm.

 

It aint rising mate at 37 years old.
He had a lucky night a few weeks back and we are all caught up in the hype.
If most of you guys are boxing fanatics why cant you see the rjj bashing didnt show how good green was,it showed how bad rjj had become.
Green still hasnt done anything in boxing except show he has good power and can catch you if you get lazy.
And ill prove it.
If a fighter beats another fighter easily than its more or less a foregone conclusion that a rematch goes the same way.
However if green and rjj rematched nobody on here would be confident or certain green could/would win again.
WHY? because we all know he caught roy cold.

 

Luds, your sparring partners aren't going to like it but you got it just about
spot on.
If Green has one or two hard fights against quality opposition I reckon he'll
call it a day. But it's highly unlikely he'll call out the likes of Dawson,
Huck or Cunningham.
Don't think Danny's got too much left in the tank. This is really just a
money making exercise.

 

Luds, forgot to add your Avatar looks strangely familiar.
Looks a bit like a Super Middleweight from some years back that some of the Aussie
boxing fans mistakingly thought would go on to bigger and better things.
Care to comment ?

 

did you ever know that your my hero
you're everything i wish i could be
gee spidot waiting for boxoncotton to give away where he lives so he can fight him and now you
bragging about kinghitting people who are to pissed to defend themselves on a boxing forum.

Yes mate....waisted talent,but cant find it in me to hate him.
I keep thinking he knows something we dont and he is going to surprise us all but time is running out,but in saying that he is 34 and look at green causing a stir at 37 so he can still do it but who knows when and if.

 

Not bragging,just responding to a ****head who wished i died over the xmas break.

 

good to see.woul be great to see this fight happen in Australia.dont think Danny will win as Hopkins though **** at geography is smart boxing wise and unlike RJJ has not aged as bad.look at his strategy to dismantle Pavlik.
Hopkins: How I beat Kelly Pavlik

"How do you know how great you are without doubters?"
That's the question Bernard Hopkins asked Monday during an extended explanation of how he shocked the boxing world with a unanimous (119-106, 118-108, 117-109) decision over previously unbeaten Kelly Pavlik on Saturday.
"When I was done, I looked out at media row, stared out at the audience and I said, 'I'm tired of proving myself.' I had reached my boiling point. In and out of the ring, there's nothing else I can do."
What the 43-year-old Hopkins proved in his conquest of the 26-year-old middleweight champion from Youngstown, Ohio, is that when experience is teamed with fitness, youth and a powerful right hand stand little chance.
"I'm hearing about a lot of 40-year-olds who saw the fight walking with their chest out ... you have to be skinnin' and grinnin' after seeing that," Hopkins said.
Hopkins said his Saturday night masterpiece -- which he claims surpassed his previous high-profile victories over Felix Trinidad and Oscar De La Hoya -- was triggered by homework. In studying Pavlik's victories over Jermain Taylor, Edison Miranda and Gary Lockett, he said he noticed Pavlik continually "jabs and tries to line you up with his right."
"I asked myself, 'Why not go to his left and make him punch across chest?' That's awkward to do. That was his problem.
"I knew you can't beat a great athlete in just one way. I admit sometimes the way I fight is not pretty, but I do what I got to do. I wouldn't let him connect."
Roiled by predictions that he'd suffer his first knockout loss, Hopkins spent the night sticking to his strategy, delivering a steady diet of rarely used jabs and punches that left the favorite bloodied and confused.
"I took a page from the sweet science of boxing: hit and not be hit," Hopkins said. "We got too used in this sport to the Ultimate Fighting, big punch-type of fighting. I was sidestepping and he had to keep churning his legs. He had to adjust and didn't know how. It was all about position, position, position."
Now, Hopkins has a Nov. 8 fight to watch between the man who edged him by decision in April, Joe Calzaghe, and the veteran fighter who could secure a long-awaited date perhaps by the spring, Roy Jones Jr.
"If we can get that fight [with Jones] everyone's been waiting a decade for, in the [Madison Square] Garden, that's a fight you don't want to miss," Hopkins said.

hopefully Danny and Angelo can see some weakness they can exploit and KTFO him if they land the fight.
