Jones Jr vs Green

[Kev]

Great performance by Green last night. I fucking told you all he was world class and that he was a dangerous opponent for Jones to take.

Props to galaxy for being the only other person pretty much to see that Roy Jones was in deep for this fight.

And guys you should listen to me more, all the bandwagon jumpers who leap onto overratted guys like Bute, Donaire, Mijares etc and then completely dismiss tough guys like Green and Kelly Pavlik, you need to listen to ol'Bilbo.

Green is now very much a part of light heavyweight, maybe even cruiserweight scene and he will prove himself to be a very acomplished performer indeed. He has real power, a solid chin and is a solid pro who just gets on with the job.

He's trouble for anybody, as I said at the start of this thread all those months ago.

what the hell is ur issue with donaire and mijares? mijares in particular had more skill in his left pinky than 10,000 danny green's put together.

how many mijares/donaire fights have u seen?

Hmm so much skill yet Mijares was totally dominated and beaten down by a fighter with supposedly very little skill in Vic Darchinyan, and then followed it up with another loss to some part time yak herder, TWICE!


If he's as good as you say why did he lose 3 in a row?


My point is this. There are some people on this forum who rate skills and flashiness above all else and think that if someone is slick he is world class. Well it's simply not the case, skills and athleticism are just one single aspect that go to make up a boxer. As I've said before, casual fans tend to overate those with power, loving the big punching guys like Tyson and thinking he is the best ever.

Well more serious fans often make the same mistake, but in overating skills. They see a fighter put together some flashy combinations and see him as the best thing ever.

Both are wrong. A boxer's truth worth is made up from all of his different attributes.
