I want to apologize to the great folks from down under for the cowardice of one of own in bernard hopkins. To make green think that he had a fight sealed in australia when he agreed to give snaggle tooth purse parity only to ***** out of the fight anyway. Now we have to endure popkins/jones II. Your green is a warrior and i beleive he would've thrashed popkins!
Damn! I saw a link saying the RJJ Hopkins rematch had been signed but I was hoping it wasn't so. I dunno if Green would have thrashed Hopkins, but I think he could possibly have been the first to stop him early. Oh well, looks like Hopkins saw Green as too much risk, depsite the high reward :roll:
More like nobody gave a **** about Danny Green because they know he is limited and got lucky, Hopkins wouldn't get any credit for beating Green. Why doesn't Greeny boy call out Dawson??
You're dumb if you think it was luck. Roy is old as **** and couldn't hang with a (yes-limited) but more fit and stronger man. Green was an Olympian and has reasonable skills. Hopkins vs Roy is a waste of time. And I'm sure Green would fight Dawson if he had the chance.
Look who's crawled out from under his rock, the *****-**** hazey :yep Your bitterness knows no bounds. I think your mum would want you to forgive D. Green and move on with your life hazey
Green is a no name in the US & sadly wanted at least half the pie when all he brought to the table was the fringe IBO title & a loss to 5 yrs well past his prime Jones. Sadly to us Aussies the sponsorship deals & the TV money/rights are so big in many Europe & North American countries that it well & truly covers the extra 5 or 10k thru the live gate here in Australia. Some might not know this but the money Nemiroff pays to sponsor Klitschko fights is insane...same as Tecate or Corona or Affliction clothing or Rockstar Energy Drink etc pay for the US fights.
To be honest I thought this would still happen immediately after the loss anyway. Still too much money in it. Also, I think he will lose, but I don't expect it will be anywhere near what happened to Roy in the Green fight - he will do alot better than we all expect. Not to say it was luck or his not past it, but that it will be a different fight and might possibly get some good shots in early if Hopkins thinks he'll have as easy of a night as Green did!

Ever. That's why boxing has gone down the tubes
