    More than a little bit interesting to look back at some quotes made when Green's comeback was announced:

    He's Back! Danny Green is Ready

    Excerpts from an article by Paul Upham (of 'Seconds Out' & 'FIST Magazine')
    Dated April 2009

    The 'Green Machine' simply couldn't stay away from the sport he loved. The former WBA light heavyweight champion first announced on Feb 10 that he would be making a comeback, with the single minded focus being on winning a rematch with Anthony Mundine....

    ...Green explained that his determination to avenge his loss to arch-rival Mundine was his sole reason for coming back...

    ...."you know what. I'm not going to worry about what people think"...

    ..."and hopefully fulfill the motivating desire to come out of retirement and that is to beat Anthony Mundine"...

    Mundine is agreeable to a Green rematch. "There are two things guaranteed in life - me whipping Danny Green again and taxes". Mundine said.

    Comments: So a year of slanging each other off in the press doesn't get away from the simple facts that Green's sole motivation for a comeback was avenging his loss to Mundine, and Mundine was as cocky as can be about the rematch a year ago!

    Not relevant.
    There was a rematch clause, AND the IBO made a mandatory rematch after the protest.
    It's Mandys fault the rematch hasn't happened, unlike what Balmain was alluding to.
    Geale has always wanted the rematch.
    No question it's a science.
    That's why I highlighted both of what would appear to be their most comfortable weights.
    Which happened to be within 7lbs of each other, not the idiotic 26lbs which Balmain claimed.
    Maybe maybe not. It doesn't matter, they fought once, and they'll fight again. The bull**** about weight is just that, bull****. But again, Balmain is coming up with it.
    You still don't get it, they are 2 different fighters, with 2 different personalities at different stages of their career.
    They are not directly comparable with regards to who they fight, yet.

    :patsch:-(

    Where is the lawsuit then? Step aside money? Surely geale isn't such a "nice guy" that he has a clause but just rolls over when it's rubbished by team mundine.

    Green is a cruiserweight calling out a middleweight, that is the situation. Fighters cut weight for size advantage, if they fought now it messes up their current plans especially for mundine.

    They will fight when the ball is in mundine's court, the weight will be what mundine deigns it to be, at the end of the day it's not bull****.

    You don't get it, they have fought, same division, same nationality obviously comparisons will be made. Without comparing fighters what would be the point of 50% of esb forums? :patsch

    There's never been a valid reason offered why Mundine ducked Geale, Sox.

    Medley, instead of the mandatory with Geale, made no sense when it was matched and even less when he fought Medley for nothing other than a diet he didn't need.

    Risk versus reward is something team Mundine have had a very low threshold for. So far at least anyway.

    No idea, but it was understood that it existed, in any case, the IBO made it a mandatory rematch.
    Mandy ran scared.
    But according to you went to bigger and better things.........
    And, almost a year later, whataya know, he hasn't.
    Ironicly, the biggest match since Geale would have been the rematch with Geale.
    What a surprise.
    Do you even realise Green hasn't fought a cruiserweight yet, and at his absolute heaviest was 15lbs under the CW limit?
    You know as well as anyone Green is a LH.

    Mandy has only had 3 MW fights, and won't last there. He's getting to old to be at that weight.

    Both their plans are to fight each other. The weight is a formality.
    Yeh it is, and it won't be Mandys call, because the wheels have been turning for ages.
    You still can't compare the fights they are having now. They are 5 years apart in pro boxing and in age.
    You know this anyway, it's just the blind faith you have for Mandy which clouds your judgement.
    If Geale is fighting tomato can in 5 years, he'll have lost my support.

    You got that straight.
    It's only the Mandy fanbois who believe otherwise.
    It was pure cowardness, nothing more.
    I doubt it will change.

    Can't believe the fact that Geale wanted the rematch seems to be being called into question. Team Geale waited and waited on it, and Geale stated publicly every time he was asked, that he wanted the rematch.

    Sure Grange settled for the Medley match in the end. But I'd be bloody amazed if it was before the Geale mandatory was lost for absolutely no good reason.

    Team Geale knew they would have had to have shot Mundine in the foot to get him back in the ring and moved on . Geale = Warrior he ain't got time to get sucked into the Khoder bull**** circle. good luck to him .

    I can believe it, we're talking 20anus87 here.
    Grange only agreed to Medley because Mandy gave them no choice.
    Grange figured they may as well get something from the dishonourable coward.
    And it backfired in Mandys face anyway. :lol:
    Again, the fanbois think he achieved something from it all. :patsch

    So there is no inclination for geale to seek financial reparation or take legal action in a situation where he is losing the biggest payday of his career, I'm beginning to think you are confusing a rematch clause with the IBO making geale a mandatory. :lol::lol::lol: Mundine has only had 2 fights since and his next one by all accounts is for a wba world title and his last one was meant to be the birth of "the pioneer" but the ibo meddled again.

    Can you remind me what belt danny green has and in what weight class he fights? Maybe he is "too weight drained" to box at light heavyweight now.

    I'm sure mundine can continue to make middleweight for the remainder of his career as he has never had a giant frame you are just trotting out boxing rhetoric and hoping it makes sense.

    Of course they will fight and the weight will be an issue but if you think that mundine would give green leeway at the negotiating table after the public demolition he administered in the first fight I think that is wishful thinking on your part.

    To try and put a blanket ban on comparing two fighters who have fought is ridiculous, grow up people will compare them it is not some sort of mythical match-up. When compared mundine comes out on top.

    As usual wrong end of the stick.

    Geale wants the rematch as it equals lots of money, mundine didn't as he had been there and done that.

    As usual no source or useful information :happy

    He is getting things mundine wants so don't be surprised when mundine swoops in and takes what he wants when he wants from geale.

    If you could post a credible source stating geale had a rematch clause in his initial contract that would be great as I actually think you are confusing the IBO making geale a mandatory for mundine as the rematch clause. The lack of lawsuit etc is ridiculous if you are telling the truth.

    :hi:

    Though the Kariuki match-up looks very much in the vein of Mundine's too-numerous-to-count tune-up fights, Geale will certainly move on Sox.

    Sport afterall is about getting the most out of the talent you've got (ie realising your potential), and it's certainly to be hoped Geale makes a far better fist of it than Mundine has thus far.

    As far as the re-match clause goes, Geale said himself in an interview on DSS' radio show that there was one in place. That's good enough for me.

    No, that could only confuse you.
    BTW, you are not capable of thinking.
    Oh yeh, the IBO really messed that up. You ****en dick head.
    Maybe he is, but it's highly unlikely.
    I'm sure you struggle tying your shoelaces every morning.
    Why would I wish it, I couldn't give a **** about either of them.
    But you're wrong anyway, as usual.
    Only in your dreams fanboi.
    Still dreaming fanboi.
    I don't know if they definitely had a rematch clause, though I remember Geale himself saying it in a post fight interview on the radio show which one of the dudes advertises here.
    He was either right, wrong, or lying.
    You decide, because I don't care, your boy dogged it in any case because the IBO ordered a rematch.

    After all the ridicule you cop, you still got nothing.
    You're a persistent **** ant, that's for certain.
