View Full Version : Green v Beyer 3 ..........maybe
Green seeks third crack at nemesis
By Adrian ******
September 05, 2007
DANNY Green may get a third tilt at his old German nemesis Markus Beyer, while he waits for a crack at IBO world light heavyweight boxing champion Antonio Tarver.
In two WBC world title challenges in Germany, Australian Green suffered a controversial disqualification loss to Beyer in August 2003 and a majority points defeat in their rematch 19 months later.
Green knocked Beyer down twice in the first bout before a contentious ruling led to his disqualification and he also floored the German in the final round of their second contest.
Beyer 36, hasn't fought since losing the WBC title to Denmark's Mikkel Kessler last October.
While Beyer hadn't officially retired, Green admitted he thought the chance of a third bout with the German had gone until he read an internet article a few days ago in which his old foe was reported as saying he intended fighting again.
The Green camp is initiating discussions with Beyer's management team about a fight in Australia, while waiting for a reply to their offer for American Tarver to defend his IBO title in Perth.
"A world title is what I want to achieve, but the fact that this Beyer fight means so much to me, it's hard to choose between the two of them," Green said. "We've been in touch with Tarver's manager Al Heyman, who our agent Don Majeski knows very well.
"They've had pretty extensive negotiations and we're just waiting to see what the outcome is of that and hopefully we'll have an announcement pretty soon.
"But we don't want to put our eggs all in one basket and if that wasn't to take place, there's the Beyer rematch.
"It said on a website that Markus Beyer was making his return to the ring, he never retired, but he's returning and that made my ears prick up. At this stage of my career, I'm only looking for the big fights that are out there, and the ones that make the most sense.
"Although there wouldn't be a title on the line, it would be a massive fight with Beyer in Australia. With both of our histories and rankings we could probably get one of the organisations to make this fight a light heavyweight eliminator."
Since winning his last fight against American Otis Griffin back in July, 34-year-old Green has indulged in his other sporting passion.
He spent two weeks in the Maldives, surfing for five or more hours a day.
"I was surfing a hell of a lot every day and that really kept my fitness up," Green said.

hmmmm
Don't see much point in this, unless it is a keep-busy fight, but even then, it's a risky one.

I'd love to see it....but that would most likely be the end of Green's career!!!
I see Beyer outboxing him again!!!

Green has declined. I dont know about Beyer, but he does know exactly how to beat Green and he would probably train accordingly. I'd say a close decision to Beyer.

Yea interesting fight...I wont say no..... Buyer knows how to fight Green and this time will counter even better but if the fight is at LHW it might give the advantage to Green and end early this time due to Green having more power with the extra weight.

I will be calling my bank manager to see how much money I can borrow to bet on Green!

exactly - Bayer is so far past shot that he is an empty shot gun shell
put inactivity with a Kessler thrashing and an unfamiliar weight class and what do you get? Beyer getting belted!

Agreed, especially after the Kessler fight.
Green will have it in mind and know he can dominate.
Also after Beyer having a close call with bika, then getting ko'd, he should take an easy tune up first, at least try to reagin some confidence.
Beyer is shot - Kessler proved that - Green by KO in less than 7In my eyes Beyer wasnt shot because Kessler crunched him. I never rated Beyer too high in the first place. Green had him in Disneyland in their first encounter, you could possibly say he was shot then.
It will be a revenge type fight which would be good to put on his resume. Green should have won the 1st, was outboxed the 2nd, and a 3rd fight he should definitely be able to win as Beyer was knocked out sensationally against Kessler and it's always tough to come back after KO loss, let alone when your nearing the end of your career.

Green by nasty headbutt KO :yep
Exactly! I know Green maybe wants some revenge, it's an ok fight but I would rather see Danny beat the shit outta Antonio :-)
Green shld try and win a belt against Tarver etc then use that as leverage to defend against Beyer (easy first defence) that way he gets revenge and makes it a good money fight in Oz...... Beyer will fight him knowing he has already beat him once and the chance to win some sort of belt (IBO) is a good carrot also.

Seriously, when it comes to the crunch in this fight, nobody will be putting there house on Green. Mainly because anyone stupid enough to do that would have done it last fight, when Green was so confident he was complacent and everyone on here had his next fight already planned.
Green will never be able to overcome skill, and he doesnt ever learn anything new. It would certainly be in Greens favour that he would be significantly bigger than Beyer, but the problem for Green is he struggles to connect with guys who canslip a punch and regardless with Greens power decline, nobody is afraid of being hit by him these days.

It's a shit idea, if Danny loses again he will be ridiculed into retirement, and if he wins it will be stiff shit he beat a past it guy who would be a midget at L/H.
shot vs shit. I dont really see what this fight is going to do for boxing, but I guess its a decent payday for both guys.

Green will stop Beyer if a 3rd match ever eventuates.

Even a mentally crushed Beyer was way too skilled for Danny....he will outbox him again!!!

His power must be really slipping to win his last 3 fighs by KO... Put it this way Eels. Danny is just as consistent as Mundine is. I wouldn't be confident betting on either of them at this point.

Interesting that EelsRule knows so much about what was apparently going on on these forums way back in March 2005 when his join date says 2006 :hey :think Hi vasman :hi: :lol:

Dont see the point of this fight, well I see the point but I dont see it as being worth it.
Beyer has been written off by so many, but in reality he was and probably still is a pretty good fighter who gives like Danny troubles no matter what.
Danny would win, especially at home but I think he would look shit in doing it if Beyer came fired up and didnt give up like he did in the Kessler fight. He was physced out there but he know he can beat Danny.
If you are looking for a fight in between Woods, Briggs, Mundine II or Tarver then this isnt it because you dont know what Beyer will turn up but you can be sure that Danny will turn up the same, in shape, fired up but robotic as ever.
I think Siaca would be a smarter fight even.

I dont need to be around here to know what is being said (or what has been said). This place is as predictable as the weather in the Sahara Desert. I also know which way everyone was tiping for the Mundine v Echols fight and it aint the way everyone is talking about that fight these days.
Yes your Vasman theory has grounding in such astounding and convincing evidence Muttley. When Vasman was kicking arse here I would have been over in the (now defunct) World of Boxing forum kicking arse over there against the types of Ace and Matt Bourke if any of you guys remember those characters from over there. I didnt know this place existed till last year. Know that I do, well, I am happy to be the Vasman. Cool name actually.
Regards, Vasman.

This fight cant be made. Beyer is not interesting any more to fighting. I know because his manager Saurland looking for one good light heavyweight . He make good offer to Elvir Muriqi but Muriqi have one more year contract with Star Boxing.
