Mundine thrown out of Green party!

[Greig]

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".
