Jones Jr vs Green

[Kev]

I don't know about you guys but I'm really pumped about this fight.

First off, its a meaningful fight for Roy Jones against a legitimate world class opponent. Green is hard hitting, has a great chin and is a serious test for Jones, but he's not quite at the level of Calzaghe, Pavlik, Dawson, Taylor etc.

I think this is a 50/50 fight, Green can be gunshy against top fighters but when he opens up he can really bang and he's never been stopped or to my knowledge knocked down.

I'd love to see this fight, it will be huge in Australia and a great matchup imo, it's a really difficult fight to call. Jones can definitely outbox Green, but Green could take Jones head clean off, and unlike Lacy and Sheika, he isn't shot, but a fighter probably only slightly past his best, still very very dangerous.

Can't wait for this one.

If this fight happens in aus, im going for sure!!! Im a massive RJ fan and id be going to see him fight, not green. Green has been down, he went down once against a nobody named gonzales i think but he has been down. He can be outboxed eg marcus beyer, anthony mundine. Lets face it Roy Jones is a way better version of Mundine with heavier hands so i think Roy wins it.

Define "world class". Danny Green is a decent fighter, but he's not world class in any way I've heard the term defined.

Well he's won one legit world title (WBA), should have won two when Beyer robbed him and he's won a couple IBO world titles.

If you have won a world title then by definition you must be world class, i.e he mixes with world class opposition.

He's not an elite fighter, and he's certainly not p4p but he's world class for sure, how could you be a world champ and not?

This will be a repeat of Anthony Mundine vs Danny Green.

The sanctioning bodies and their champs/rankings are not always a legitimate representation of the talent of the divisions they rank.

So you would define "world class" as anyone who holds a championship belt?

Green is definitely world class in that he's one of the very best in his weight class, or has been in the past.

The Ring have had him in the top 4 or 5 at supermiddle before and he will likely crash the top 10 at crusierweight soon now he's come back.

He's a former world champ, how is he not world class?

Do you only count the best two fighters in a weight class world class? If so, what is elite?

Great way to sum it up and explain the difference between

World Class and Elite.......

I said it before on one of the earlier threads when there was first being talked about, I favor Green & my opinion still hasn't changed!

I think an Aussie Saddo member meeting is in order.

[Salty]

I heard it was going to be in sydney

[Dizaster]

I heard it was going to be in sydney

I heard that too.. Darn shame that means I would need to get a plane ticket and accommodation..

I can't remember when they said the fight will most likely be, but probably around October or November.. pretty soon after Green's last fight but oh well..

Good Call Brother Baggins
I haven't watched Danny Green's fights at all but I hope he is up for "Body-head" banger Roy Jones .. he will definitely put on a show he is not showboat shy but also talks with his gloves with a gut. whoever is airing this fight is in for a massive spectacle. Im Roy Jones Jr fan I would like to see this fight go his way so that the future can be set and open for him to hang the gloves

I think it's more 90/10 Jones. I do give Green a punchers chance
