Are you kidding me?

[No Contest]

Great, ruin Friday Night Fights why dont ya? He just shot himself in the foot, hopefully ESPN is pissed at him. I could see if it was injury or something legit but management issues? Fight the fight you signed then split, what a bunch of crap.

I was trying to think of some staring at his feet joke but I've got a paper to write and just don't have the time.

Wow, so the guy who got caught with crack has no problem showing up, but the supposed health nut can't make it?

LOL!! I was trying to come up with one too, especially since No Contest had the "shot himself in the foot" comment.

He shouldn't piss off the television bosses.

He definitely needs to watch his step from now on.

Honestly if you want something done.....

I guess you could say he's starting off 2008 on the wrong foot?

Perhaps management is his Achilles' heel?

Maybe his career has one foot in the grave?

Ah, I guess that's enough. Hopefully Allan will keep his head up.

Needs to watch his step lol !! I think he does that too much in the ring already. This news sucks cause i was just really starting to like green. I know we all hate it.....but i always think it's better for a guy to pull out for whatever reason than fight loose and make a bunch of excuses. But still shame on you allan

I hope he didn't shoot himself in the foot; as then he'll just stare at it more in his next fight

Seriously, I am starting to wonder why I have been a big fan of his

He's doing himself no favours. His management need to get a hold of him and make sure he steps into line.

....let's just hope he's not on drugs





Drugs are bad mmmkay

Well he does have alot of boxing skill, he is one of those guys that doesnt throw enough IMO, it seems like thats a new trrend in boxing nowadays, real conservative fighters not letting the hands go.

This little tidbit showed up on Fightnews.com

Super middleweight contender Allan Green will not be facing Antwun Echols on ESPN2 Friday Night Fights at the Paragon Casino and Resort in Marksville, Louisiana. Echols will now take on unbeaten Michael "Midnight Stalker" Walker (18-0-1, 12 KOs) after Green suddenly became unavailable. "Green hasn't returned our calls since Monday and missed his plane yesterday," Holden Promotions executive Bobby Dobbs told Fightnews.com. Green was located by Fightnews.com today at the Palm Beach Boxing Center in West Palm Beach, Florida. His only comment: "I'm not in a position to talk about it now." Echols-Walker will part of an attractive double main event card that also features IBF #1 junior middleweight contender Sechew “Iron Horse” Powell (22-1) in action against Kevin Finley.

Well, I'm just glad they got a replacement, good on Walker for stepping in.
