I have no interest in Green or him fighting Mundine...
You have a huge interest in Green. You write about him incessantly. Nearly half the posts in this Green thread were made by you.
Only interest I have is to enlighten fellow boxing fans
I know how this forum works, Mundine bashers are welcome, but not an ill word can be said about Danny Green, so many Green nut huggers hang out here & they go out of there way to defend what he does
You will not change anyones mind here about Danny Green here mate. They will defend anything he does or anything he says. Look at what he says and what he does.

But after wrestling with his decision for hours, he said he was happy and content.
"You won't see me come back. I am turning down millions and millions of dollars,'' Green said.
"My decision is not financially based, it is based on myself, my family and friends and what I have to offer the community in the future.
"A lot of people will think I am crazy, but a lot of fighters stay in the game too long and that is not going to be me.''
With the Garay fight off, the much talked about rematch with Anthony Mundine - which would have brought both men monster paydays - also won't eventuate.
"It would have been nice to go out in front of 20,000 fans at Burswood with a massive rematch but it is not to be,'' Green said.
"All I would say to Choc is keep your chin down and look after your health because it is a very tough sport ... and thanks for a great rivalry, because you have made the sport so much more exciting.''
Retiring for his health so he doesn't stay in the game too long and can't take care of his kids yada yada before he makes 1 defence of his title he bought in 2008.

"I've won some, lost one, took on some of the best fighters in the world and got chopped by some of the best in the world. But I wouldn't have had it any other way.''
Green, 40, is coming to terms with his career coming to an end, this time with more certainty than his first retirement.
It pains him. He loves the fight game and says it plainly: ``It is irreplaceable''. He smiles wryly at the notion that nobody will sack him; he has to do that himself.
Had it not been for family, he is confident he could fight for at least three more years, but recent revelations about the after effects from concussions has left him pondering, as he puts it.
"It's a concern,'' he said.
"I want to be in charge of my family and protect my family when I'm older.
"If any problems arise for my children, my family or friends, physically and mentally I want to be capable.
"If that means sacrificing a couple more years in the sport I love and I've been successful in ... if it's detrimental to me it has to happen.
"First and foremost to me is my kids. If I can't protect my kids, guide my kids through life, be their father and their friend, there's no point.
"I've been bashed in the face for 22 years.
"You never know what's around the corner and the next punch can change that.
2013 he's retired again this time with more certainty than his first retirement. again playing the old protecting my kids in the future card yada yada. And to the surprise of nobody even after getting KTFO by a shot semi retired Tarver and again by a guy who overdosed on antidepressants in a suicide attempt a few months before not to mention a burst appendix incident where he abused a nurse he is back fighting. Again to fight Mundine
and again fighting a woefully outmatched opponent who will be fighting out of his weight class. GO GREENY!!!!!!!!!!
