Why wont any of the over rated Americans come to Australia to fight Danny Green?

Is it because the Green Machine knocked out Roy Jones Jnr within the first round, what about Tarver & the others? They all seem to be dogging a fight with Green, why? Are Americans simply over rated & not prepared to risk a defeat by coming to Australia to fight?

Danny Green knocked out an OLD, TIRED, UNMOTIVATED Roy Jones with an illegal punch to the back of the head. I think Danny is the one who's overrated.

Are you kidding dude, Roy Jones Jr. would have demolished Green if they had of fought even 5 years ago. Jones is way past his prime, where Green is still his. Jones in his prime was considered the best pound for pound boxer in the world!! They would not have matched a untested unknown nobody like Green up against Jones in his prime because it would have been an embarrassing mismatch. I mean Green could not even beat that chump '911 terrorist lover' Mundine!!



Tarver would smash Green so they won't promote the fight, simple as that!!



And for the record knucklehead, Americans have always dominated the boxing world for decades, so pull your head in!!!

I definitely think Danny Noriega is going to go back on American Idol and be in the top 12. I also loved him a lot; personality and all. He has so much charisma. Like you said, why would there be a pole for eliminated contestants to come back on the show on their website if it wasn't going to happen? Also, A lot of pictures of David Hernandez have been surfacing on the internet with him posing in a picture. At a gay club at that too. This is exactly what Corey Clark was disqualified for in season two. Posing in a picture with his shirt off.

It is highly unlikely that any of the good American fighters are going to go to Australia to fight Danny Green simply because if they are a big name American fighter they are probably more significant than Danny Green when it comes to promoting the fight.

Danny Green currently fights in the cruiserweight division and he is ranked 7th in the world by The Ring Magazine: the majority of the fighters who are ranked above him are European fighters who typically fight in Europe, so if he wants to fight them, he should go to wherever they are located and challenge them, since they have paid their dues at cruiserweight while Green's only notable win at that weight is a knockout over a faded Roy Jones. You mention Antonio Tarver but Tarver is a light heavyweight, which is 175 pounds and Green struggled to make the 180 pound catch-weight for the Jones fight. If Green wants to fight Taver, he should have to come here and fight him because Tarver knocked out a much younger and fresher version of Jones and regardless it looks as though Tarver may not fight again. But as far as cruiserweight goes, here are the 6 fighters ranked above him and what the chances are that they could face Green:



~ Troy Ross (number 6 rated contender)- Ross has nothing scheduled at the moment but he doesn't really bring anything to the table for a Green fight since he is not a world titlist. Ross does have some fame since he won the fourth season of the boxing reality series The Contender, so the fight may happen since Ross fought his fights on The Contender in Singapore, which is relatively close to Australia and both are known fighters there but as stated, Ross doesn't bring anything to the table.



~ Giacobbe Fragomeni (number 5 rated contender)- Fragomeni will be facing Krzysztof Wlodarczykin a rematch in an attempt to win his old title back that he lost when he fought Zsolt Erdei- the Wlodarczyk fight will be for the vacant WBC cruiserweight title. If Fragomeni can regain his title, a fight with Green is certainly possible since it would be a title fight but Green would be obligated to face Fragomeni where he is based, not the other way around.



~ Marco Huck (number 4 rated contender)- Huck just defended his WBO title this past weekend, so he'll be out for a little while. If Green wants to challenge Huck for his title, he'll be obligated to fight wherever Huck wants to fight.



~ Zsolt Erdei (number 3 rated contender)- Erdie beat Fragomeni for his WBC title but since Erdei is moving back down to light heavyweight, Fragomeni will fight Wlodarczyk for the vacant title and since Erdei will no longer be fighting at cruiserweight, a fight with Green is out of the question.



~ Krzysztof Wlodarczyk (number 2 rated contender)- as previously stated, Wlodarczyk will be facing Fragomeni in a rematch of their draw for the vacant WBC title. If Wlodarczyk wins, Green would be obligated to face him wherever Wlodarczyk wants since the latter will be the one with the world title.



~ Steve Cunningham (number 1 rated contender)- Cunningham will be facing Matt Godfrey (number 8 rated contender) for the vacant IBF title in the near future and I think Cunningham would be willing to travel to Australia to fight Green because Cunningham has fought in many foreign countries in the past, even when he was the defending champ.

Danny Green doesn't really hold any significance aside from being a local attraction in Australia.

If the money is right, Chad Dawson will be on the first thing smoking.



What is what's his name's weight?



We have a few other fighters that we can send right over to knock that fool out.

2 reasons, drugs and money



Clean him up, and bring him here



That's what I thought, he'd never pass a piss test here, and we aren't sending our guys there so you can capitalize off of them.
