    What's the difference between Danny Green's claims of trying to get fights with B-Hop and Tarver and Mundine's claims of trying to get fights with with Pavlik and Sturm?

    A: B-Hop and Tarver confirmed in the media that they had actually been in negotiations with Team Green :yep

    The original statement is correct Ash....but if you want to disect it, yes they were mainly in the first half of his career.

    All I was saying is Mundine wont fight anybody coming off a loss as its bad for publicity.....the first half of his career is different of course

    But anyway...back to the point at hand...when do you think the Froch fight was set for?

    Do you have anything further from the article?

    I just don't see why Mundine would fight Duddy coming off a loss and don't see how a fight with Froch could have been planned after August September last year....so why come out with it 7 months later :huh

    The context of the question 'World of Boxing' put to Todd and others was their prediction for Green v Mundine II.

    I guess Todd is alluding to Mundine's easy path and that there was nothing stopping him challenging himself more by fighting say a Duddy, instead of a Falliga.

    Incidentally, Todd predicted Green by TKO, and of the 15 views they sought (inc Sam Soliman, Charkey Ramon, Jeff Malcolm etc) the breakdown was:

    Green to win:
    10 votes (9 said by KO and 1 by Pts).

    versus

    Mundine to win:
    5 votes (and all predicted by Pts).

    Of course it wouldn't have been for mega bucks, Mandy can't pull mega bucks. :huh

    And why isn't it attractive if outside of OZ, oh that's right because he can't pull the big $$.
    But wouldn't a fight like that help him secure bigger fights outside of OZ, with more money (if of course he won). Gee, now that's too ****en logical. :patsch

    BTW, Froch is top 10, and Duddy is a whole lot better than Argie cabbies.
    You don't have much of an idea eh.....:deal

    Mundine makes more in oz than he would fighting abroad and it would be his promotion.

    Fighting duddy obviously leads to more recognition but like ashley said lyell was a better option especially when he has designs on pavlik.

    Froch is in a different weight class and if u think duddy beats "the man" or even runs him close then you need a check up

    @ ashley check ur pm

    I don't mind going back and forth with you guys on the pros and cons of mundine but the way you both have posted your counter points means i cant quote you properly. Nevertheless:

    Froch was not a worthwhile fight prior to getting the wbc title and even then mundine was on his way down in weight so we can ignore the froch angle.

    Everyone knows falliga was a **** fight both in terms of opponent and spectacle, however his previous fight had been a war, he was limping about the ring and I can understand a gimme fight also it was billed as the road to the rematch. I wish he had fought lyell just to get at pavlik, who he does have plans for, I reckon hbo pressured kp to fight martinez if not williams.

    As far as the mundine weight issue goes he's a middleweight now like it or not, he's been a titlist at the weight. If he drops to 154 I hope he uses the pioneer name as it would go down a storm with boxing fans :deal

    We all know he has to step it up in terms of named opponents, I think "the man" wants to (see medley pf interview) aswell. But what boxing fans often neglect to think about is that his job is boxing and boxing is business.

    The green fight will happen after the man has a better bargaining position than green but it's been done to death in the last month already.

    If I've left anything out I'll add tomorrow its too late here now.

    Also mundine is the best :deal
