Mundine thrown out of Green party!

[THE THIRD MAN]

Anthony Mundine was refused access to the Danny Green after party Wednesday night and he must have felt like a dried turd as he walked away.
3 and half years ago he beats Danny Green convincingly, it was a very good performance. In that time he has fought Sam Soliman two more times, a washed up Shannon Taylor and a host of South American cab drivers causing major shortages of Taxi availability in Argentina! How quickly it all turns around in boxing, Mundine has chosen an easy path that none of us know where that path will lead. Green has come back and taken on RJJ and although he is 40 was still regarded as being to slick for Danny Green. Bang goes Green and he KO's RJJ in 1 round, all of a sudden Green is a feared fighter. Hopkins doesn't want to know Green and pretends to not know where Australia is. Green will find it difficult to get fights, who will want to fight him? As for Mundine, he now says he will fight at Junior Middleweight?? I don't think i have ever seen a more mis- managed fighter.

I think Green will get a big fight in the future because of this ko I would like to see him and Glen Johnson fight of even Tavoris Cloud would be interesting. And from what I hear Mundine is a cocky douche bag who rubs people the wrong way.

"cocky douche bag" may be redundant!

I think Green's win may have made a fight with Hopkins impossible. Why would Hopkins want to fight a fit, strong guy and a very live underdog?

Similarly Dawson, why would he want to go near Green?

Unless we're underestimating how much exposure the Green/Jones fight got in the states. I know it screened as part of the Hopkins fight, but seriously how many viewers would that fight have got? Hopkins in a tune up against a bloke with 5 losses, hell the live gate was only 6000 in his home town...

I think the best Green will do out of this is a shot at maybe an alphabet title holder, which he'll probably win. Then he'll be in exactly the same position he was in in December 2007 when he 'retired' after beating Stipe Drews - except he'll be two years older.

I think if Green's camp starts negotiating for a fight with Dawson or Hopkins, those guys will make it untenable and demand ridiculous money. And the only way Green could offer that kind of money would be to bring them down under, which I don't think either of those guys would do...


Hard to believe, but I can actually see this win not doing Danny much good at all...

Some comedy gold in this thread Hopkins-Green in Las Vegas would draw some Bernard fans, LOL that's the definition of a not very big fight. And the chances of him going to Australia are slim and none.

"Whether Hopkins likes it or not Danny Green is now the man" That right there takes the prize.

This is pretty much the point I was getting at when I started a thread yesterday "what next for Danny Green".

I agree with you, his best bet is to go for one of the alphabet titleholders in the cuiserweight division coz I don't think B-Hop or Dawson will look at Green as a potential matchup for themselves.

Actually whether US fans watched the fight is completely irrelevent. Fans don't need to have seen or even heard of a fighter before for him to attract their interest.

How many British fight fans do you think had ever watched a Jeff Lacy, Mikkell Kessler or Kosta Tyszu fight before they came over to the UK to fight one of our boys? Probably less than 10 percent but they were ecstatic about seeing the fights because of the reputations these guys had.

Same with David Haye fighting Nikolay Valuev. Nobody in the UK had ever seen Valuev fight (if they had they wouldn't have bought the PPV!) but it was still a huge fight over here even though it took place in Germany.

Danny Green KO'd the great Roy Jones in 1 round. That will guarantee him huge exposure from now on.

Danny Williams, one of our very mediocre heavyweights got an unlikely an immediate world title shot against Vitali Klitschko no less because he knocked out a shot Mike Tyson.

As I said before, you beat a legend you become noticed and people will want to fight you.

Hopkins obviously only wants to fight an old legend rather than a real live opponent, but Green has now become a very attractive name for any ambitious light heavyweight or cruiser.

He will be a big draw for the next couple fights at least and will probably fight for a world title, or against a big marquee opponent next time out, and may well have the draw power to bring them them to Oz.

Green won't find it hard to find a big name opponent. Any fighter who upsets a legend will almost immediately get a world title fight.

Look at Amir, he beat Barrera and got a world title shot immediately despite coming of a one round ko loss to an unknown.

Other fighters like Hasim Rahman and arguably Ricky Hatton have gone on to have lengthy careers with multiple world title shots off the back of a single unlikely and high profile win.

Green is massive in Australia and has a huge fanbase there so he will easily negotiate title shot if he wants one, and will probably be able to pursuade them to come to him.

Sure, Hopkins may not want him, but guys like Marco Huck and Zsolt Erdei will likely be happy to sign up for a fight with the Jones Jr killer.

Look at Tarver's career, he's had several high profile fights off the back of his Jones ko win, it got rematches with Jones and Johnson, a title shot against Woods after Hopkins beat him, and even a second chance at Dawson after Dawson beat him comfortably first time around.

My guess is Danny Green will get at least a couple decent fights out of this.

I dont think Khan beating Barrera had anything to do with getting Kotelnik, it was the fact Kotelnik was getting a very good pay day.

I totally agree, especially with Hatton, Danny should get some big fights now, his manager is already talkin about F**in moving to heavyweight and fighting Hollyfeild, Tyson and the like.
Not sure about that personly, he just beat one over the hill burnout, no need for any more.

No one wanted to fight him at 168. And he is fighting at 160. And this fight i saw with him at 160 he looked like a weight drained fighter could barely do anything and just barely got the win. He won't be good at 160, he'd be killing himself at 154, 168 is the place to be for him but no one wants to fight him there. If his management was smart they'd get him a fight with Green or something. Not Danny Green, Allan Green.

I might be the only person, but I'd love to see Bute - Mundine at 168. I really think that Mundine, much like Guzman, will go down as one of this generations poster boys for wasted talent.

They don't belong in the same breath. Seriuosly. Mundine was knocked unconcious by powderpuff punching Sven Ottke for gods sake.

Mundine is nothing but a crap Roy Jones wannabe.

Exactly and that goes to show how far Roy has dropped, if Calzaghe could still punch Jones would have gone early there as well.

If Jones cant do as well as Mundine who piissed all over Green then hes well shot

Green is strong and has some power but anyone with boxing ability should beat him like Mundine and Beyer did, I reckon Calzaghe could come back and beat Green too
