Mundine thrown out of Green party!

[THE THIRD MAN]

Why does Hopkins still talk up a future fight with Jones jr? Whether Hopkins likes it or not Danny Green is now the man, you don't KO Roy Jones Jr in one round and then believe Bernard Hopkins doesn't care. He cares alright, he could very well be next !
A Hopkins V Jones jr fight should have happened at least 2-3 years ago, it won't happen now unless it is for purely nostalgic reasons. I want Hopkins V Green in Las Vegas in March or April 2010. Roy needs to retire.

He's the IBO title holder. Not IBF. IBO. Kid Thunder has a IBO title. What's that tell you?

Agreed, agreed, agreed! What Danny did is great for himself and boxing in Australia but to claim he is the man now... Very questionable claim

I make that questionable claim knowing full well the the IBO title does not mean a thing, i just happened to notice that no one else has knocked out Roy Jones jr in the first round before!
It appears to me that some people have their nose out of joint because Green has spoilt the rematch with Hopkins?
Give the guy his due, he has Knocked out a legend, who up until this week was good enough to fight Hopkins again next March, Green has screwed up in the past, he had a brain fade against Beyer and lost by DQ, he then loses to Mundine by UD in an ordinary performance. He has come back well and adjusted. He deserves a mega fight. I think Hopkins might be a little scared of Danny Green

Green deserves as much credit as Trevor Berbick did for stopping Ali. I mean damn. Berbick retired the Greatest. Look back at my post regarding this fight. While I expected Jones to win, I did state Green stopping him was not out of the question. I recognize Green's power as being legit. But lets not get carried away. To suggest Hopkins might have any type of fear of Green boarders on straight stupidity. I mean come on now. The man fought Pavlik when everybody set he should stay away from him. He bashed Trinidad when everybody expected him to get bashed. Against his handlers advice he jumped 2 weight classes to face (at the time) the top Light Heavyweight in the world Antonio Tarver. Now he's suppose to have fear of Danny Green? The same Danny Green who mailed it in against Anthony Mundine?

Don't think Hopkins is 'scared' of Danny Green VD, but I think the Third Man has a valid point - it's a high risk versus low reward fight for Hopkins. Green is fit and he can bang, so why would Hopkins want to risk his legacy by fighting a bloke that very few American fight fans have heard of?

I know Green is talking about Hopkins, but I just don't see the fight as being on Hopkins radar at all - hell Hopkins doesn't even want to fight Dawson, a fighter who HAS some exposure in the States, so why does he want to be messing with Danny Green?

Personally I don't think Hopkins knows what he wants - I think the problem with Bernard is he has an acute awareness of his own limitations at this point in time, that's why he's choosing his opponents very carefully these days.

Nard still wants to fight Roy hahaha!

By the way Grieg u really shoulda checked out my "what next for Danny Green" thread, your answers were along my line of thinking and woulda added value to my thread. Instead I had guys posting Green's next fight should be against Alf from Home and Away haha (duno if you know him and the show)...

I'm with you there Greig. I doubt Hopkins would be scared of anyone. But the risk V reward thing is a huge factor. Hopkins was due to fight RJJ for big dollars no matter what the result. Both similar age and legend status and have fought before so win lose or draw it is a win win for both. Plenty of money and no disgrace in losing to a legend. Taking on Green for hopkins means less money and higher risk particularly if he losses to a "nobody". Not suggesting Green wins but if he did..... much worse than losing to RJJ. So why take it? There are other fights out there for BHop. He wants the $ and to cement his legacy as one of the greats. Why risk both to fight a "nobody".
