you said that regerding hopkind - jones as well.
calzaghe had brittle hands and wasnt known as a big puncher, while hopkins hasnt dtopped anyone in 7 years, and the guy he stopped then was a blown up welterweight.

So? I remember you saying the exact same thing about the Zappa-Vasquez fight with regards to that Korean they both faced.

going to have to disagree with you there. green got schooled by mundine at super middle but its common knowledge that weight drainage was a massive factor in that fight. at light heavy that wouldn't be the case therefore the same result wouldn't be guaranteed. also most would agree green has grown considerably as a fighter since 2006 whereas mundine seems to have gone backwards. and at light heavy i doubt calzage would be bouncing back up like he did against jones and hopkins if he got hit by green. admittedly green might not have the same chance at landing so often but i doubt that he would need to, also at light heavy i doubt that he would gas out like roy seemed to.

I knew mundine would school Green, and i said it from day one that he would beat him. I miss the days when used to be able to gee people up about it, can't believe how much everyone used to get fired when I used to say mundine's going to smash Green,and all that time Green was fighting at super middle, so how can you say Green was weight drained? He always fought at that weight, It's not like he came down a division. It's simple Green's feet were just not quick enough to catch up with mundine. If they fought at light heavy I believe it would of been the same result don't think the extra three kg would of made any difference, if you can fight you can fight, don't matter what weight it is.

I take it you mean Ji Hoon Kim, who drew with Vasquez.

Are you saying Zappavigna had no right to challenge Vasquez, or do you just hate Australian fighters?

That's what I think he should be fighting at light heavy weight, if you want to get technical he hasn't really fought at cruiser. The last fight was close to the cruiser limit, but the ones before that were light heavyweight without drying out on the day of the weigh in

And yet Hopkins is rated no 1 light heavyweight in the world by Boxrec.

That would be a first. Green has never been KOed. What is this "prime" shit anyway?

Haha. You know "prime". It generally means your at the top of your game. If you seriously think that the Jones that green fought was the same guy who unified the 175 division then you are seriously mistaken.

He could certainly still make that weight now, but I just don't think he wants to.

What really disappoints me is that had Green stayed at 175lb, not retired, defended his WBA belt and looked to unify - he could be a true great by now, as I believe he would have given Johnson, Tarver, Erdei and Woods a good fight and possibly beaten all of them.

i agree. Green v johnson would have been great. I know it will never happen now, but green v froch at 175 would be a cracker imo

green calzage would have been good too =)
