Danny Green is a hell of a nice guy.

I sparred him a couple times as an amateur, when he was training in Canada back in '99. He split me under the eye! Haha, that's not the nice part though. The next day my little sister came to the gym to see me, and I pointed to Danny and said "that's the guy that did this to me!" Danny says "well, you should have seen the beating he had been giving me at first". Pretty classy, I thought, to make me look good in front of my little sister :)
thanks for that :TU:

How about Soliman & Bika? They seem like two lunchpail type guys that people would appreciate
Vic is a virtual unknown to the general public here if we're being honest.

Soliman might have a bit of a profile among sport fans and is pretty well liked, Bika would be even more on the fringe..

Danny Green wouls easily be thw best known and liked fighter in the country. EASILY.
I am mainly talking about the boxing public. I am assuming that Australia is alot like USA in the fact that most people (in the general public) couldnt name more than maybe 2-3 current boxers, and even fewer know the significance of the guys they named

Ahh... in that case I think Katsidis would be up there with Green as the most liked. Katsidis always makes exciting fights and has shown he is willing to fight the best.

I thought Texicans regarded themselves as separate from other Americans?
