View Full Version : 'Mundine is an insignificant piss-ant' - Danny Green

Danny Green has lashed out at long-time boxing rival Anthony Mundine, describing him as a "piss ant" who only fought chumps and babies, while he was defeating the best in the world.
Speaking on Melbourne radio station Vega the morning after his shock victory over boxing great Roy Jones Jnr, Green exploded after being quizzed about Mundine's presence in the Jones Jnr corner.
"The guy's a piss ant, I am not even going to comment, he is insignificant," Green said.
"When you beat a legend you become a legend. He is busy taking on chumps and taking on babies while I am defeating the best in the world."
Green and Mundine have a long-established rivalry which came to a head in May 2006 when the two clashed in Perth. Mundine was victorious that night after outclassing Green over the full distance.
Last night, as Green answered questions about his plans for the future, Mundine was seen near the Jones Jnr corner gesturing for Green to take him on. Green ignored the publicity hungry Mundine's attempt to steal his thunder, instead suggesting that time with his family was the first thing on his agenda.
After what was the first defence of his IBO cruiser weight world title, 36-year-old Green is now eyeing the big money possibly on offer in the USA. Jones Jnr was lining up a re-match with Bernard Hopkins, a fight which could now fall into Green's lap.
"To take out one of greatest fighters of all time in Australia. It is going to go down in Australian boxing history," Green crowed.
"It is onwards and upwards. I didn't get touched, I don’t have a mark on me. That is a big thing for me."

Mundine did make him look very ordinary 3 years ago - no question there.
But they are like two lovers on the rebound trying to prove they can do without each other, and last night has suddenly put Green a long way in front.

Agree to a point.............but no matter what Green says he would have a burning desire to square the ledger with Mundine and i believe the rematch will occur 2nd half next year,the 2 parties will make it happen.:bbb:bbb:bbb

Agree, and prior to the RJJ bout I thought there'd be nothing surer than a Mundine re-match to follow if Green won. However, the emphatic nature of Green's win has suddenly significantly altered the dynamics.
With Mundine about to 'shrink' to light middle for his mid Jan bout with Medley, and Green an 'undersized' cruiserweight who currently holds that belt, you'd have to think there was never less chance of a re-match.
But...
IMO the lines of communication between the two camps are kept up to date fairly regularly as their common pursuit is wealth, and Green v Mundine II = $Big!

Mundine Has been going down hill FAST. I Had Respect For The Man awhile Back but With His Lastest Fights i beleave Fighting Green Would be Really Bad For him, I Think Green Will KO Mundine, Mundine is getting used to fighting Easy opposition , Being KD by guys Like Crazy Kim.
Although Roy was NO WHERE NEAR his Prime, It Does however Give Danny ALOT of Steam, and if the Rematch was to happen Danny's Momentum from this Fight will be to much for Anthony.
i Doubt this fight will happen, i Dont Think Mundine Wants it, He has Little to gain and alot to lose, and for Mundine that Spell (MAKE IT LOOK LIKE I WANT TO FIGHT BUT I DONT REALLY WANT TO)
Mundine Vs Green II = Green By KO ( But Id be Shocked If It Happens)

Am I alone in being disappointed by these statements?
Danny claims he is "a legend".
And that beating a legend = you are a legend.
As Mundine whipped him badly, I guess that makes Mundine a legend.
Simple facts are that Green was badly beaten last time they fought. Danny needs a rematch to gain any cred. Knocking out RJJ isn't that big a deal (despite the Aus media going crazy). Three guys have knocked Roy out. None of them world class.
he ktfo roy jones junior, when mundine gets a big name fight to show the fans then thats a different story, in a funny way, green beat mundine when he dropped rjj, its funny all these desperate comments from mundines fans coming out now, imagine how desperate mundine is geting now, danny green will be remembered for last nights fight, give i time & no one will remember that mndine beat green, it will fade away when green travels to the states to further his career, mundine needs green now to get on the world stage, its obvious, credit to green he won!!!!!!
and bernard hopkins said to green , when you beat a legend you become one, he is rubbing it in his face.

The weight wasn't great for Danny Green last time, but no excuses, he was given a lesson. If Mundine comes up to a decent catch-weight it could be a different fight.

Yes, three years ago Danny got schooled by Mundine, but in reality he had no right to be fighting at super middle.
He made no excuses but instead took it on the chin like a man.
Since then Choc has gone on to show the entire boxing fraternity exactly what Team Mundine is all about.
Choc's resume should now read!
Money................ Plenty
Credibility............ None
Whatever happens in the future, Danny Green should be known as a warrior that was prepared to step up, take a risk and put it all on the line.
I, for one hope that a rematch never takes place as their respective attitudes towards the sport of boxing are worlds apart

Hey patty boy you sook,go and tell green that he had no right being at supermiddle weight for the previous 19 fights he had where he demolished all of them you clown.
Remember how all greens fans screamed about how he beat lucas and couldve killed beyer,he looked good to you then,but god forbid the weight was wrong when choc smashed him.:patsch

Well, he did fight his two previous fights at light heavy, but yeah, I wouldn't say that he was too uncomfortable at 168.
He does look better and healthier at light heavy though.
IrnBruMan
12-03-2009, 09:33 PM
Okay, Rise Above, I think you're cool, so I'll explain the weight issue, and hopefully that dopey cunt luds will see the light :yep
When Green fought Mundine, he had had 23 fights for 21 wins.
In 14 of those fights, he came in under the SMW limit of 168lbs.
For the other 9 of those fights, he came in over 168lbs, and even fought 3 of them at LHW.
This was his run of fights leading up to the Mundine fight and my opinion of his physical appearance in them:
Beyer - weighed in at 167.5lbs, looked healthy
Lucas - weighed in at 167.75lbs, looked pale but other wise healthy
Sullivan - weighed in at 168.75lbs, became severely dehydrated and was in a stupor from round 6 onwards
Gonzalez - weighed in at 173.75lbs, looked healthy
Beyer 2 - weighed in at 166lbs, looked badly underweight
Crawford - weighed in at 170lbs, looked healthy
Garcia - weighed in at 171.75lbs, looked healthy
Mundine - weighed in at 167.24lbs, looked pale and badly underweight
Since losing to Mundine he's moved up to LHW and has looked far healthier at that weight than he did at SMW in the fights leading up to and including the Mundine fight.
Taking into account the first Beyer fight was in 2003 and the Mundine fight was in 2006, I don't think it's beyond reason to believe that Green was outgrowing SMW in those 3 years and was struggling to make weight.
In some of the fights, such as the Lucas one, he managed okay, but then look at the disaster that was the Sullivan fight, which was only 1 fight later. It suggests he was baking himself to make weight and it caught up with him on that occasion, possibly due to the high temperature in the stadium.
Green agreed to fight Mundine at SMW, so he can't blame anyone but himself if the weight was a factor, but in my opinion, he looked emaciated for that fight. Whether or not that affected his performance, no one will ever know, but I have more confidence in Green fighting Mundine at LHW than at SMW.

Mate, I agree that he should never have come out with it as a way of explaining his poor performance vs Mundine because he agreed to fight him at SMW, but as my post above explains, I do believe the weight was an issue for him.

the past is the past at least hes trying to land big fights now.may be he is improving with age.i think Danny when plan A isnt working has lacked a plan B eg.Beyer 2,Mundine and is unable to adapt when in trouble like say Joe Calzaghe.a fight with Hopkins would be intriguing as i believe we would see how he copes when under pressure.also Hyder is far calmer and less panicky in the corner than Fenech and would settle him down better IMO.

I agree.
I think Green has matured as a boxer - possibly the time he had to reflect in his retirement helped him develop that side of things.
He's got the experience of being on the big stage now, and looked very relaxed about it all the other night.
I hope he goes on to win another couple of big fights and then calls it a day.

Was worried Green looked too relaxed as he walked to the ring - but as soon as he saw Roy he got the serious face on. Roy by contrast looked either worried or very switched on and serious from the moment we saw him on screen.

I'm not even a Green fan, I think I had money on Mundine in that fight. But I think he was drained/sick looking for that fight. To be honest I think nerves played a part. He looked very physically and psychologically stressed in the lead up to the fight.

Weight wasnt an issue, stamina wasnt an issue but his lack of skill was.

Could be right.But unfortunetly for Mundine he wont be the the main man and will for once be made to take the significantly lower pay packet..
70/30 split i think...
With Green Machine promotions looking after the fightcard etc..

At the end of the day i reckon Danny is fast becoming THE MAN of Australian boxing , this Indian summer towards the end of his career has proved a vital shot in the arm to how the Aussie scene is looked at away from its shores , we all know Roy is a spent force on the world scene but the publicity Green draws to the sport down under has to be a major plus ,especially when perhaps more talented fighters eg Mundine tends to shy away from challenges . Hopkins v Green ? well its heaps better for Aussie boxing than Mundine v the likes of Medley ( No diss to Medley here either ) .just my opinion ..

Danny Green has lashed out at long-time boxing rival Anthony Mundine, describing him as a "piss ant" who only fought chumps and babies, while he was defeating the best in the world.
Speaking on Melbourne radio station Vega the morning after his shock victory over boxing great Roy Jones Jnr, Green exploded after being quizzed about Mundine's presence in the Jones Jnr corner.
"The guy's a piss ant, I am not even going to comment, he is insignificant," Green said.
"When you beat a legend you become a legend. He is busy taking on chumps and taking on babies while I am defeating the best in the world."
Green and Mundine have a long-established rivalry which came to a head in May 2006 when the two clashed in Perth. Mundine was victorious that night after outclassing Green over the full distance.
Last night, as Green answered questions about his plans for the future, Mundine was seen near the Jones Jnr corner gesturing for Green to take him on. Green ignored the publicity hungry Mundine's attempt to steal his thunder, instead suggesting that time with his family was the first thing on his agenda.
After what was the first defence of his IBO cruiser weight world title, 36-year-old Green is now eyeing the big money possibly on offer in the USA. Jones Jnr was lining up a re-match with Bernard Hopkins, a fight which could now fall into Green's lap.
"To take out one of greatest fighters of all time in Australia. It is going to go down in Australian boxing history," Green crowed.
"It is onwards and upwards. I didn't get touched, I don’t have a mark on me. That is a big thing for me."

i dont give a fuck about mundine either but danny green is a fucking bum who couldnt even beat marcus beyer or mundine and moves up in weight and beats a very very average domestic champ in jason delisle and eventually fight for a beats stipe drews for the belt when stipe should have entered the marathon instead.the fact is if he cant beat mundine he cannot be regarded as an aussie legend thats for sure

So choc can cos he beat Green? I'm confused...
Both are good domestic fighters and no-one who knows anything would consider either legends.

Finally! This is the fact of the matter in a nutshell. No need for further discussion, arguments or abuse. Thanks Leon.

No shit for brains, he was paraphrasing Bernard Hopkins who said that before the bout.

Zeke, I apologise, no need for that.
But it seems we're constantly going in circles, some people latch onto facts without the full knowledge of context behind them and in this instance, you got me at a bad moment.
And truly, if you want my feelings on Greens comeback check out my thread on his first comeback fight vs Van Niekirk. I respect his effort vs Jones but I aint no blind follower.

mate to be honest im just over the danny green worldbeater spiel ever since he moved up.he is raping the australian public just like mundine is.the sad fact is when green gets bashed everyone will say
'well he wasnt that good to start with mundine schooled him' so no matter who he beats
[apart from old men who give him a decent payday]he needs to beat mundine to convince the aussie public thats all im saying

All I'll say is after the Lacy fight a lot of us thought it was a bridge too far. Jones looked good but as I said to a few guys off forum, maybe that was his last moment in the sun. Either way I was unsure and I don't think many picked an early KO in the manner it happened. Kudos to Green for a) landing the fight & b) getting the result.
Compare it to Chocs continual self proclamations of being the greatest ever while fighting a never ending line of dodgy imports (but credit the Geale win, but hey, who has Geale beaten?) and you can see the average man in the streets reaction being more favourable towards Green.
Both are guilty of their own smoke and mirrors act.
Its not a matter of race or persona at the end of the day, its a matter of putting boxing back on the map, and in one foul swoop, Green has checkmated Choc. Chrissakes, the next day in WA they were reporting the outcome of Hopkins fight vs Ornelas, pictures and all, when was the last time you saw an o/s bout get coverage like that. usually it would involve a guy called Pacquaio.
Now Green is possibly looking at Hopkins, and despite certain people being up in arms at his age hes top 5 in most p4p lists, #3 in the Ring. Hes certainly maximising his remaining time left.
Choc?
Chocs fighting Medley for an IBO trinket and lets face it, nobody who follows the sport would have Medley in their top 10 at 154. Lets remember its for a vacant title.
Yes, just like Greens IBO Cruiserweight one.
I'm interested in seeing people who don't normally follow boxing taking an interest. Through that more oppurtunities will follow for the other guys who put in heaps of effort for little reward. (And I will not count the local bs version of The Contender)
One guy is achieving this, looking for big names.
One guy isn't, content to sprout C grade cliches and face lesser known opponents.
At the end of the day, they're both as bad as each other.
But one of them is having a more positive outcome on the direction of the sport.

yeah fair points but shit sticks and green will need/want a rematch with mundine or he will be forever remembered as the guy that was good not great.[sadly though it will be another win to choc in my opinion danny is just so
'ordinary as a fighter hes like paul briggs too predictable and too emotional '

no one would remember 'the tater man' iran barkley had he not ko'd tommy hearns...and there are many more such examples of average fighters koing legends and writing themselves into the history books.
so green does have a point. and if you look at your dictionary, look up the word legend, you will find he is correct. although perhaps not in the eyes of the retards here who have an 'urban' view of the understanding of what a legend is.

Who here is saying Mundine or Green are ATG or HOF or legends :huh
Not even the most delusional of nut huggers :D is going anywhere near that type of statement :-(
Both Mundine and Green have done very well for aussie boxing and very well on the international scene......just to get to the big fights :deal
