Hopkins/Green off

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

Well it makes enough sense. If they don't have weekly boxing (which I'm pretty sure they don't) and the only time they show bouts are like when Mundine and Green (Mirovic maybe? ) fight then it might be harder to track the international fighters. For example, I know like 2 f1 drivers yet it's an international sport with a much higher profile then Nascar of which I can name probably 100 drivers.

We do have weekly fights actually, we have our own friday night fights. Aussies love watching their own fighters fight and Hopkins is known by some fans but more fans in Aus would know who Green is. Most people i spoke to about Jones vs Green had no idea that Jones had even been good earlier in his career. Some thought he was a nobody so they arent going to have a clue who Hopkins is (i think Roy Jones is more famous then Hopkins).

Well then Aussie "fans" need to bone up on their boxing knowlege a bit not knowing future HOF'ers from other contries... That's like me not knowing Lenox Lewis, or, Tszyu, or Calzaghe, or the Klitschkos... That seems a bit ridiculous to me but whatever. They must think Gatti is a no heart hump club fighter... and that Tyson was a bag boy at a stop & shop somewhere as well.

Looks like Green is rethinking all this

Mate i know what ya mean but there isnt too many true boxing fans here, they love watching a fight...dont give a shit who it is though lol I would be with no doubt in my mind the biggest boxing fan in my whole town of 18 000 people, you know how i know? Coz everytime i talk to someone about boxing they dont know shit about current fighters and they sound so stupid when watching fights such as saying things like "oh the pussy moved out of the way, stand there and slug". I havent met anyone in my town that could tell me who Hopkins last 3 opponents were, which weight division Jones Jr started at and some people thought Green beat Mundine easily and he was robbed lol

So in general true boxing fans are hard to find here but general fight fans...there fuckin plenty of them
