In recent newspaper article Danny Green has been critical of Mundine's level of opponents.
Mundine only goes for safe fights: Green | watoday.com.au
The irony was the line
Green said he had little time nowadays to even think about Mundine.
If that's the case why isn't he hyping up his fight with Jones, is it because he is not as popular as he thinks and knows the biggest payday for him is a return with Mundine.
I like both of these guys but Green seems the one who needs Mundine.
I dont think its the popularity of either fighter but the rivalry between the two that make for a big payday for both.
the geale mundine fight wasnt as big as the green mundine fight. yet it was for a belt.
I dont think the green RJJ fight will need a massive hype up. RJJ is world known name and people will want to see him and green go at it. So well done to green on getting the fight in Aus.
And that's the point, I reckon RJJ made this fight 'cause he reckons it's an easy one and his people will know it can sell as we don't get many fighters like him here.
Given that I reckon people are not giving Green a chance when he really does have one, I think Danny needs to forget about Mundine and remain focused, he really doesn't want to be thinking about the fight after. Too many have have taken their focus off the guy in front of them and come unstuck.
PS Welcome aboard.
Majesty is going to be very upset with this post.
Green critical of Mundines opponents!
:lolhaha: he was one of them, one of losers!

Mundine is at middleweight now (i think he needs to go back up to super middle as he seems to have lost his power) and green is a cruiser...no point of a rematch, someone will whinge either way about weight if they lose.
True no point in a rematch.
Also knocking his other opponents is bazaar, Green would have given his left nut to have fought Spen Okkte, Soliman or Antwun Echols when Mundine fought them.
Tko RJJ.
I would like to talk about Mundine's career....but what career? What does he do? He has gone backwards since the Green fight and barely got away with the decision against Geale. Why isn't he challenging Pavlik, Abraham, Sturm or Williams ? I think he is 34 years old and time is running out for Mundine, who is his next opponent? Some chump they pulled out of a cab in King's Cross?
One of the strangest boxing career's i have seen. I call Mundine the Maynard G Krebs of boxing!!

I think Green is the one that their fight mattered to , Mundine is just muddling on. as for the Kings X comment I think they might give him a run for his money up there ;D
Larry merchant is written nowhere in the thread so you have nothing to worry about :pQuote:

:o Have they run out of New Zealand cabbies to fight him already?
Tell me it isnt true! surely there some up on the North island they havent approached yet.
:domo-kun::domo-kun::domo-kun::domo-kun:
"Komma teH Komma Teh oooooooooHHHH Yaaaaaah !"
Seems to me all these Australian fighters are cowards who have a problem stepping up. I read Geale next opponent is going to be the used up Daniel Edouard. :vd:
I think your right.
Come on Andre my man. You know I'm right.Quote:

Me either honestly, i dont watch jeff fenech fight nights or anything. Havent paid for an australian ppv for a long time. I like watching katsidis though, at least he fights big names and always puts on a good fight.Quote:

Wonder if Green will print a last chapter to his autobiography and give it away for free to complete his story :rolleyes:
