Green is a better opponent than a clapped out Eric Lucas (KO 6 Green) or a Brian McGee, Sakio Bika, Omar Sheika, Dale Westerman and a lot of guys the Europeans have been defending against.

I think Mundine has his work cut out to beat Kessler but you can't say his last opponent wasn't better than Froch/Beyer'Kessler's last defences. No disrespect to any of the boxers mentioned but if Mundine fought McGee or particularly Westerman he'd be pelted with rotten fruit by fans and mocked by Australian journalists.
