Ok.. to Danny Green and the rest. It's quite funny how that everytime Mundine gets mentioned.. so does Green. And again, whilst i was more of a Green fan earlier in his Career, after his retirement and return, i have struggled to like him. He too has been taking on old timers and hacks for years. His best win in my opinion was back when he beat Eric Lucas. Eric Lucas? you say, yes.. Eric Lucas. He might not have been and absolute world beater, but Lucas Always comes to fight and has more heart then Phar Lap. He is very hittable, but when Green broke him down, it was the best i had seen him. Most recently Green has had mixed results. Roy Jones Jr. Well.. it was like beating up your grandad, and although it got him huge exposure (and LOADS) of hate from the U.S, it wasn't really a masterfull display. He then went on to beat an inflated Siaca (who beat mundine) and then had that debarcle with Paul Briggs. His best win sine his return was definatley his last one agaisnt Flores, but even that came harder than most people expeceted. I hope he chases some live opponents, but don't be suprised if he goes back to beating up inflated SMW's and Old men.
Now someone above did mention getting behind some of our REAL fighters and i couldn't agree more. Vic Darchinyan and Michael Katsidis have been willing to AND mixing it with the best in the world. Not only do they fight the best, but they do it in style, both being exciting punchers with the ability for highlight reel knockouts. We really need to get behind these guys as they make Australian boxing known on the world stage for the right reasons.
