But, I have never seen such an easier way for a fighter to propel himself to the top through the use of dodgy matchmaking than this. I can't wait to hear about he was the man who beat the man who ended JonesJrs career. I hope Flores is not taking himself too seriously. Sad thing is he will probably beat Green who is not a polished fighter in my eyes. This is merely a passing of the torch

Old American Adage applies to well to Flores: "If you can't run with the big dogs don't get off the porch." From what I can tell he's rather maintain the pristine record and fight bums going the distance
I think you might be underestimating Danny Green somewhat there. And calling him a bum is very disrespectful. I think this is a fight that could be good one to watch as the styles should make for plenty of action. But your well thought out and articulately penned argument has now made me change my mind. Thank god we have the americans to tell us all how to think in a reasoned and intelligent way. I forgot we were running with the "big dogs" here on the internet. But don't worry I've gotten off the porch (I was only whittling there anyway) and am hiding way down here from all you big dogs.........................
Think he was talking about previous guys on his record with the 'bum' comment. Flores' criticism is perplexing to me because he really isn't a bad guy but gets so much criticism for his desk work on ESPN. It's kind of nuts, he really hasn't done that much bad. I don't think he's a bad fighter, he's solid fundamentally and he doesn't waste much, just kind of solid all the way around. Buuuut for whatever reason he gets hated on bad.

I think I agree with Jonny that Green isn't a very polished boxer, as he has progressed it's almost like he's gotten more crude. Should be a fun fight, as was mentioned, Darnell Wilson tagged the dude pretty good time to time and Green will be pressing to do that the entire time.

I don't know, it'll be a fairly intriguing fight. I don't think the world of him but I definitely am not on the 'I Hate BJ Flores' bandwagon like almost everyone else seems to be.
