Danny Green would destroy Anthony Mundine in rematch

JEFF Fenech says Danny Green's win over Roy Jones Jr was one of the great moments in Australian boxing history and has tipped his former charge to destroy Anthony Mundine if they ever have a rematch.

Fenech, who was Green's first trainer after he turned professional following the 2000 Olympics, said he had even predicted the first round knockout on radio before the bout.

He paid full credit to Green and his current trainer Angelo Hyder.

Asked where the victory stood in the history of Australian boxing, three-division world champion Fenech told AAP ``it was a great moment''.

He emphasised with Jones, who lasted just 122 seconds of the first round before succumbing to Green's merciless barrage of blows.

``I've been there, I've walked the line of Roy Jones, when you get hit you are not the same anywhere,'' he said.

``Styles make fights. I knew that Danny had the power.

``I don't want to say anything disrespectful to Roy, because I've been there.

``I had this chin of granite for years, but when you get hit enough times it weakens.''

Mundine outpointed Green in a super middleweight contest in Sydney three years ago, but Fenech was certain the result would be reversed if they met again.

``If they fight again, Danny will destroy him, especially at a heavier weight,'' Fenech said.

He felt there was still some chance of a rematch even though there could be four weight divisions between them, with Mundine expected tomorrow to announced his next fight will be at light middleweight.

``There's one common denominator ... it's called money,'' he said.

Fenech's former trainer Johnny Lewis believed Green was best suited to fighting at light heavyweight after weighing in more than eight kilos inside the cruiserweight limit.

Green's victory last night cast considerable doubt over Jones' scheduled rematch with old foe Bernard Hopkins early next year and Lewis felt Green should pursue a fight with the former longstanding middleweight supremo.

``I'm pretty certain after that performance last night I'd go (for) Hopkins, after a real big payday,'' Lewis said.

``There's no reason why he (Green) can't do the same thing (to Hopkins).''

Lewis felt Green's swift and stunning victory over Jones should lead to his status in Australian boxing being re-evaluated.

``To win so impressively, we've got to rethink our assessment of Danny and certainly he's got to be in the mix of our best,'' Lewis said.

WBA and WBC super flyweight world champion Vic Darchinyan offered his congratulations to Green from the United States, where he is preparing for his December 12 with Mexican Tomas Rojas in California.

Green used Darchinyan's inner-Sydney gym to prepare for the fight with Jones.

``Me and Danny were training together in the gym, he liked to work hard and I knew that he thought in his mind that he could do it,'' Darchinyan told AAP.

``That's most important, if you believe in yourself you can do it. I thought it was going to go longer and Danny was going to beat him by points.''

i think result would be same as last time and green would be weight drained if he had to make super middle again after so long

Cruiser weight = Green wins
Light Heavyweight = Green Wins
Super Middle Weight = Mundine wins
Middle Weight = Well, Green won't be able to make the weight and I have a feeling Mundine is going to be here for a while. After all, wasn't there talk of Mundine going down to Light Middle Weight?

I disagree, at Lt Heavy Green wins by stoppage early but not too early.

Last Wednesday night, Mundine made a half-hearted challenge to Danny by climbing onto the ropes amid a chorus of boos.

Here is a report on his latest galling effort:

But as they say in the classics: Winners are grinners and losers can make their own arrangements.

But Mundine, is not geographically challenged like Hopkins and knows every back alley gym in Patagonia, Paraguay and Argentina to locate his future stiffs.
