What next for Green?

[heidegger]

What would you like to see him do?

Call me crazy but I dont really care to see him fight Mundine again. Its been done and Mundine is a bad styalistic matchup who Green will probably never beat.

Bring in some more overseasers. I think Green will get a lot of offers because there is $$$ to be made fighting Green at challenge.

[T.C.W]

I like Paul Briggs as a fight and I know one thing he will bring 1 million times more excitment than Mr Drews will ever bring.

[heidegger]

Green vrs Briggs makes me erect.

Contrive some bad blood. Get the war of words happening already.

[lefty]

Yeah fighting Briggsy would be a great fight and then there would be a deserving holder of the WBA belt, if anybody deserves it is Briggs who lost 2 close decisions against Adamek (a real champ) and has been through alot of things over the years.
I don't think it will happen, money talks so the Mundine fight will happen.

It would be good if he tried to fight guys like Dawson, erdei etc. but i'm sure Green knows just like everyone else does he stands no chance, plus he can make a mint fighting anything in perth.

Green got the winning lottery ticket tonight, he had to pay abit for it but now it's nothing but gold and 'world champ' hype.

[gold_gloves]

anything that doesnt involve Mundine....

Mundine needs to move on from Green and Green needs to focus on his career and getting a big title shot and not on a Mundine Rematch...

I believe Mundine vs Green would do nothing for either of there careers.

[hitman howe]

Man drews had that same look as in briggs, scared after 1st round. I toatally enjoyed watching that, a bloke with limited skills won a world title off a guy who shouldve boxed his ears off.I liked the matchup with kickett what a step up but shouldve been a draw then rematch. Anyway congrats danny who cares if he was a paper champ and dannys no mayweather.An aussie bloke from perth just won a title not intrim.

[heidegger]

Possibilities

Erdei - Green would beat him
Clinton Woods - Great fight, Green loses
Chad Dawson - Great fight, Green loses
Glen Johnson - Great fight, Green wins (Johnson shot)
Tarver - Given that Tarver is shot, Green has a good chance
BHop - RIP Green
Briggs - Aussie Superfight, Briggs KO
Adamek - Green will KO this guy. Too big for him.
Clinton Woods - Great fight, Green loses
Chad Dawson - Great fight, Green loses
Glen Johnson - Great fight, Green wins (Johnson shot)
Ulrich - Green murders him
Roy Jones - Green Vrs shot Roy Jones would be a great spectacle. Green KO's pathetic version of Roy in 6
Mundine - Boring Mundine UD
Calzaghe - RIP Green

Green should probably bring some B grade sluggers out here for a defence or two - people he can knock out and give the fans some action

[unitas]

green vs briggs...........bring it on!!!!!!!!!

[kruger]

it would make the winner a champ in two weight divisions...

always good to put on your resume...

[Fat Tony]

I guess Universum didn't give the title away for nothing. They will have options. So I expect Erdei-Green in Germany next - a fight Green cannot win.

[bizzer07]

feed him to Calzaghe, it will be a nice easy warm up fight for the Hopkins clash

[heidegger]

Erdei-Green in Germany next - a fight Green cannot win.

Is this because of the farcical scoring we should naturally expect of a Germany fight?

[heidegger]

I was thinking that too. Would give Calzaghe a belt to take to the Hopkins fight, which would then become a unification.

Man, I cant imagine what Joe would do to Green. I think he would stop him.

But Green is not stupid enough to fight Calzaghe. I'm sure he wants to keep his title for a little while at least.

[Tom_Tocca]

I guess Universum didn't the title away for nothing. They will have options. So I expect Erdei-Green in Germany next - a fight Green cannot win.

No way this would end up in Germany - Erdei isn't a draw at all. If they would fight each other it would be in Australia - anyway, I see Erdei schooling Green...

Ulrich vs. Green is a fight that would have a bigger chance ending up in Germany...one I would love to see. But first, Ulrich must beat his mandatory for his European championship...

[Fat Tony]

:roll:

Superior boxer, great counterpuncher, way better defense.
questionable chin though.

[*BOX_FAN*]

Hugo Hernan Garay or Paul Briggs :yep

Has he ever fought out of Germany?

[Tom_Tocca]

Has he ever fought out of Germany?

Yeah, at home in Hungary - but it wouldn't matter even if they would fight in Green's backyard in Perth, he would lose a wide pts decision...

[heidegger]

Apparently he has a soft chin, dont forget that Danny can hit hard ;)

[ashley]

Ithink Money Talks So Green Will Defend Against An Easy Guy Then Fight Mundine In Perth This Time Green Will Get $5,000,000

Better This Option Than To Make Under $1,000,000 And Risk Defeat....he May As Well Take On Mundine Again...more Money Same Risk As Fighting Another Champ

Why do you type every word with a capital first letter?

[Darien]

Well, just for the record: Erdei fough in the US twice early in his career but those were just build up fights. All of his titlefights were held in either Germany or Hungary.

On the other hand I'm not so sure about the outcome of a possible Erdei - Green fight. Erdei has superior boxing skills that's true but the two Garay fights showed that one thing he doesn't like is constant pressure. Green would have a very decent chance against Erdei IMO.

Anyway I very much hope this fight will come through - the LHW division needs unifications badly.

Given that this is BHops division now, and possibly soon Calzaghes, I dont think either Green or Erdei are the ones to unify things.

[Darien]

How do you know that? He has been in the ring with some quite hard punchers (Lakatus for example) and has been hit flush but he always recovered instantly. His stamina is more questionable it failed him before but it seems ok lately and it turned out that his previous problems came from some nutrition issues.

Given that this is BHops division now, and possibly soon Calzaghes, I dont think either Green or Erdei are the ones to unify things.

Both B-Hop and Calzaghe are rather old and are there only for big money fights. They don't care about titles anymore. But if one of the titleholders could unify two or three of the belts he would have a much better chance of fighting one of the oldies.

[one in a million]

I'd have to agree with Gold Gloves, theres no use in Green fighting Mundine, different weight class.

[Daft P]

Green - Erdei will happen. I think Erdei would take Green to school. We know the Hungarian has problems with pressure fighters, but Green is not too quick and Erdei has improved a lot since the 2 Garay fights.

Erdei by UD, 117-111. Green - Briggs would be more entertaining, but I am pretty sure that UBP had the special option in the Drews-Green contract, like they included it when Gonzalez fought the Tiger...

Erdei-Green is a big event in Germany as well.

Why would anyone want to fight in Germany?

[Daft P]

I don't say Green would want, but I am sure that there's a clause in the Green-Drews contract that in case of Green's victory, Green's next fight will be organized by Universum. They did the same when Michalcewski fought Gonzalez...

Otherwise there was no reason for Universum to send Drews as obvious underdog to Australia and just give up their title. Why didn't they make a unification between Drews and Erdei then?... The outcome would have been "safer". The only explanation is that they included something like a "rematch clause" in that contract.

And now watch out for Green-Ulrich or Green-Erdei.....

But then, why should the fight be held in Germany? It's more worth down in Australia, both sides would double up their respective purses...

[stingray7]

what a woeful performance by Drews. To lose a title you had spent years trying to get by hardly throwing a punch will forever remain a mystery. I bet Green couldn't believe what was happening. Poor, outclassed Clavero at least had a go against Mundine. Was Drews planning to retire ( 34) and just wanted a payday without getting hit? That performance was so bad it makes you think so.

[Fat Tony]

And now watch out for Green-Ulrich or Green-Erdei.....

I don't think that Green will face Ullrich.
Everytime Ullrich faces a good boxer he gets outboxed (Erdei) and everytime he faces a good puncher/boxer puncher (Johnson, Adamek) he gets knocked out.
Universum can make decent money with Ullrich facing European B-level fighters, so why take any risks? Another defeat (which would be VERY likely against Green) would end his career.

[Fat Tony]

Why would anyone want to fight in Germany?

MONEY. Why do you think Virgil Hill fought three times in Germany and is begging for another fight? In those three fights he made more money than in his other dozens of fights.
Or why do you think that Chris Byrd fought four times in Germany?

[Tom_Tocca]

Still Green would make more money promoting the fight in Perth...

[Rise Above]

I'd love to see Briggs take Greens belt.

[one in a million]

I'd like to see Briggs back in the ring.

[PorkChopExpress]

I think i'm the only one who doesn't really want Green vs Briggs that much.

I'd much prefer to see them take on different opponents or try to obtain their own World Titles and then meet.

I dont have any interest in seeing him fight Mundine too...

[Marcus]

Who are all these people?

Now with a few more world champs, looks like the aussie forum is getting popular!!!

Green should fight Clinton Woods next.

[sambo1987]

Forget Mundine. Green doesn't need that fight, stylistically all wrong for him. Those two really need to just get on with thier own careers. Green has some great fights out there for him now, and without making this a mundine thread, so does choc.

[doomeddisciple]

Mundine is a waste of time. I can't see Mundine going to 175 either.

There's so many decent fights at 175 - I think Briggs Green would be very entertaining, I would like to see the Tarver fight happen, though I doubt it will after the shonky way their fight disintergrated.

[Marcus]

I agree, i cant see Green winning, and Mundine doesnt deserve a shot at his LH title.

[Kegsy]

[doomeddisciple]

On the styles matchup of Green Mundine - Before the first fight - I would have said Green's style was perfect for Mundine.

After the 3rd round when Mundine realised Green was trying to box him rather than pressure him, he almost laughed in delight and dominated the rest of the fight.

If pre-Sullivan brain fry Green fought Mundine like he did Lucas - It would have been a very different fight. Danny bought the heat, til it fried his mind into thinking he could outbox the faster handed Mundine.

He should have been banging his shoulders, arms, sides: anything - Instead he crouched and froze in the spotlight in a terrible fight.

I'm very happy for Danny now though - Good performance.

He should go fight Clinton Woods in England and make some $$$

[stuistylee]

[Marcus]

I don't like that all the Aussie fans and fighters want them all to fight each other. A rematch would be a huge fight locally but what ever happened to international glory?

We dont, we just want Mundine KOed by a aussie fighter.

[Kegsy]

We dont, we just want Mundine KOed by a aussie fighter.:deal:deal

[maco_187]

man i jsut watched the fight, without sound also dunno y i dl it and it had none, but honestly that was the most boring and worst fight ive seen in ages, green didnt look any better then before, and drews definately had to be paid that was a shocking shocking attempt, how embarrassing if i was cro rite now id think about calling myself serb...... hahaha only joking kegsy n dazza but jeese you know he was most prob paid off like my suspicions in teh world cup about the spider performing so badly against his home town of croatia........ it could just happen...

[Marcus]

Sick avatar Kegsy!!

But i have to ask you?

Do all Croations have such weak hearts? :huh

[T.C.W]

Drews is a complete disgrace and I feel a little sorry for Danny, he won'ted a fight and did everthing to try to make it happen but Drews just ran.

[Kegsy]

Sick avatar Kegsy!!

But i have to ask you?

Do all Croations have such weak hearts? :huh:lol:
Nah mate not really.
Well i at least hope not....:scaredas:
I think its more to do with the Croatian underground mafia doing their thing.
They did it with German soccer & may have decided to join into the boxing.:hey

[Kegsy]

Glad u like my avatar mate, got it where u got yours from.:deal

I was going for Green, but gee Drews was so shit i cant believe he actually won a world title.
Danny tried his best to make it exciting, but i think watching paint dry is more entertaining then big lug Stipe.

[Kegsy]

Drews is the best Universum light heavyweight fighters. I`m talking a lot with Universum menagment and all of them saying that Drews is harder than Erdei, Ulrich and Dobroschi.I think this comment prior to the Green-Drews fight over on the european forum is the funniest comment of the year.:lol:

[Collateral]

I think Green should go after Tarver and his belt. The WBA belt would help dealings move smoother this time around.

Briggs and Mundine fights should be left for his last 2 fights before retirement.

[this bloke]

We dont, we just want Mundine KOed by a aussie fighter.




green couldnt do it the first time no way is he gonna do it if they fight again:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[lefty]

Exactly :good I guess it's the easy money, sad really.

[heidegger]

I too dont think Green should fight Briggs. The Aussies should not waste the belts by fighting each other. At least no yet. Green has a good chance at winning big fights as long as he doesnt fight slick boxers. :thumbsup

Sounds good but look what happened last time they tried to setup the fight!
