Re: Can Allen Green beat Bute, Froch, or Kessler?
I am with the consensus who think Allan Green gets a lot of publicity for doing nothing. How is he in all these talks with proven guys? His stardom rests on a Jaidon Codrington KO, who by the way is an average fighter. When he stepped up just one level he got beat rather nicely by Edison Miranda. I almost fell for the Allan Green hype but as I watched fight after fight and saw no improvement I seen an overrated journeyman who is a C+ fighter still getting hype for no significant victories. Please someone explain to the public what has Allan Green done to warrant even being in the same ring with top fighters? Please answer this. If he was undefeated and still learning the trade I wouldn't be so hard on him. But this guy really thinks he is elite. He has only a puncher's chance against the top competition. Top prospects like Ward and Dirrell would handily decision him also. He should try his hand at beating some up and comers and stop thinking he should just be given a title shot with a top fighter.

I think Green loses to all three.
As a sidenote Kessler's manager (Mogens Palle) revealed in Danish media today that they are also in talks with Glen Johnson. Apparently Johnson approached them, declaring his interest in a fight at a catchweight of 170.

Green looked great against Williams watch closely and you can actually see Williams adjust his right hand to make it easier for Green to land the jab.

Williams was still able to land some good counters, and this is Rubin Williams we're talking about here. I think Green gets schooled by Bute, Froch and Kessler.
Re: Can Allen Green beat Bute, Froch, or Kessler?
With a Froch vs Taylor fight unlikely and Frochs No.2 being a relative unknown called Murat:-\ - who I'm guessing Froch should beat with ease. Carl has 12 months before the next mandatory, so fighting the likes of Allan Green would be good to help him build on his win over Pascal and then hopefully get a Unification against someone like Bute or Kessler.
It is about time Green got back in the mix.
