The tone of this thread will change come sunday when Green has a great win and RJJ smashes Lacy. :deal
I support Green but nearly as enthusiastically as I did pre-retirement, if he had to retire then he should have stayed retired. I can only see it as he ducked Garay and hoped he'd get an easy payday with another Mundine fight. Having said that i'll be backing him for wins on Sunday and against RJJ, but who knows. RJJ should retire too.
Green should win, RJJ should win, but even an over the hill roy will still spank Danny boy if they fight.
Yer Danny Green is a fraud...i mean trying to win a belt in order to bring one of the biggest fight Australia has ever seen. Gee he must be a real arseholeatsch Some ****ers just cant be pleased,oh and how dare he try to make $$$ in the boxing game. Tall poppy syndrome at its best especialy from some WA posters on here. I could understand the negativity if Danny went around claiming he's the best or p4p this and that but i've never heard him say anything like that. At least he's got the balls to travel overseas on numerous occasions and test himself win,lose or draw. I know a lot of posters are pissed about the fact he came out of retirement but **** how many fighters have made a comeback after claiming they would never fight again? One thing ill say about Danny as a promotor is that you'll never find 1 fighter that fights on his cards complaining about being ripped off:deal He's even known to pay fighters extra cash because they've put on a great show for the fans. He's also quick to put his hand in his pocket to help out amateur boxers or sick children at his own expense. If many of the people bagging Danny actually new him personally your opinion would change.
I think it has less to do with his coming out of retirement that has most people pissed, it has to do with the circumstances under which he retired... for which you've conveniently left out a justification... Some posters on here might have a prob with his making $$, I personally dont. However I think Danny Green doesnt have much over Mundine when it comes to behind the scenes stuff like helping the disadvantaged etc... Mundine does just as much, except Mundine doesnt go crawling to the Media crying out "I VISITED SOPHIE DE LIZIO AT HOSPITAL, IM SUCH A HERO". As for paying fighters etc well its really that extra smelly ***** Nasser that deals with that on the Mundine camp. Ohhhh the what-ifs that could be concocted if Mundine had a different manager... Again my opinion differs to some of the haters in here regards to his fights with Dominiguez and Roy. Good on him for that. Doing more than Mundine is IMO. I dont think he'll beat Roy but its good to see him trying to land the fight.
I've seen Green fight in 3 states both in his amature days and as a professional. This is a fighter I have total respect for amongst many other Australian fighters in a small fighting community. Green has had the balls much like many other Aussie fighters to head over seas in search of good fights. The ones who don't generally are the ones who cant get financed and have full time jobs supporting families...big respect to them. Green looks certain to bring out one of the all time greats for the Aussie public to see fight live and he gets bagged for being a money hungry imposter....WTF? Big kudos to Green I hope both RJJ and Green win and bring something back to this country we can all enjoy..... If your not into it then switch off....go back to being satisfied with "B" grade level boxing organised by grubby promoters and ego driven officials getting pressured to appease their paymasters.... Maybe a rival could put on a card with the standard Thai fighters and get the Aussies fighters to sell seats for a dollar...
As a boxer i have props for greens skills i just do not like his personality and actions which he has done
I stopped reading after "He beat Johnson...as convincingly as they've ever been beaten" because you obviously haven't seen the fight. As for your claim about Adamek, his success at CW does nothing to enhance Dawson's win over him, because Adamek was struggling to make LHW, so Dawson fought a weightdrained version of him. Suck it up, punce :deal
I rate Dawson a lot, but his win against Johnson was very narrow to say the least and opened up a few questions of him. He should have rematched him instead of having the 2nd Tarver fight. His win against Adamek was impressive. Apart from the knockdown, he really put a beatdown on him, even if he was weight drained it was impressive. Still, he's at a crossroads now, and assuming he gets past Johnson, he needs to make another big fight soon.
I also rate Dawson very highly...& anyone who thinks Green is on even close to the level of him, needs to seriously have a look at Dawson's boxing skills & the quality of opponents he has faced. I mean Dawson beats Green in a shutout or stops him, just depends on how good Green's beard is & whether he can absorb a 12 round beatdown.
