does danny green have to make weight?

[Adamj1987]

to be a cruiser, he used to boil down to 166/168 and now is 200 so is that his walking around weight and just focuses on conditioning or does he boil down any of you aussies know?

[adamheight]

no he boils up...

[Brute]

He is 6'1" tall and pretty solid. 14 to 15 stone would probably be a normal weight for him.

[Mark pawsey]

I don't think he would have to cut any weight to make cruiser, he's not that big. I think his a light heavy weight at best and if he continues fighting that's the weight he should be fighting at.

[Brute]

He is still the only man to beat Flores who beat Ianuzzi last week.

Yes he beat one proper cruiser wieght. I think he should be fighting at light heavy but. Let's face it cruiser weight is abit of a bullshit division. If there was no cruiser weight Flores & Tarvor would be fighting at heavy weight and Green would be fighting at light heavy weight.

At that rate you would have to go along with Nat Fleischer who maintained that light heavyweight was a bullshit division.

Most of the good cruiser weights end up fighting at heavy.

Danny Green fought in the 81kg division as an amateur, which is above the light heavyweight limit. He is a natural light heavyweight and always had to drain to make super middleweight limit, especially for his last couple of years in that division.

I read an article written shortly after his retirement, where he said that he had to drain 7kg to make light heavyweight, which suggests that his walking weight was around 86kg or 190lb.

For his first stint at cruiserweight he weighed 80-85kg, which he stated was a very comfortable weight for him. I believe he could have still made light heavyweight during this time, but he did not want to. When he fought Flores he weighed 89kg (195lb) and admitted that he drank 2 litres of water before the weigh-in, which suggests that his natural weight was still arond 86kg/190lb. After having his appendix removed, he lost over 10kg, much of which was muscle, which he regained plus some for the Tarver fight. Angelo Hyder said that Green was over the cruiserweight limit the day before the weigh-in against Tarver and judging by the photos, most of the additional weight was muscle.

I've said before that I think Green's best career option would have been to have not retired and stayed at light heavyweight. After beating Garay he could have pursued a unification fight against Dawson or Tarver.

I can't see Green fighting at light heavyweight again, if he's going to fight on, I think his best option is to fight at cruiserweight, but come in about 10lb under the limit rather than add bulk that does nothing for his speed or punching power.

Mark if C/weight is bullshit then l/heavy is crap because super middle is 76.20 and l/heavy is 79.38. How in the world you can call Cw bullshit. The Gap between l/heavy an heavy is 12 kg. If you think think Cw is a bit of a bullshit division why don't step up and take some of the Cw on. i mean from L/heavy to cruiser is oly 1 kg and then you can fight a fighter that's 10kg heavier than you. they should make l/heay up to 86 kg and cruiser to 95 and heavy up to 120 and then from there on a diviion for ll the super heavies. mate at this stage i think at this stage the cruiser division is one of the most balance in Australia.

From your Boxrec record you are about 2 inches shorter than Green and your photo does not show you to be all that solid. Your win/loss/draw record (6-6-1)is not all that flash compared to Green's either. Maybe you should concentrate more on your own career.

That's the one mate.

[crusader]

Green definitely isn't a natural cruiser. Notice that he's smaller than Tarver in every category listed, except for reach.

Just a quick one to brute and the rocket. I dont know you guys or your history in the sport and im only new to this forum so you guys could be anyone but since i can only judge off the names you use on this forum thats what ill base my opinion on. Please correct me if im wrong. Mark pawsey is on here giving an opinion and u boys bag his record and tell him to concentrate on his own career. I can tell you from first hand experience mark is one tough sob and a more than handy boxer. Yes his record is fifty fifty but i think he is entitled to voice his opinion without being bagged. Mark has never claimed to be up there with the likes of danny green. As much as i dont agree with all his posts i will never bag what he has done he is a good club fighter keeping our sport going. Have u boys ever fought as pros. i doubt it as you would not bag the bloke. Again correct me if im wrong but can only go off the names u post under. Without blokes like mark this forum would be dead after all we want to talk boxing and mark is a boxer. Cheers guys. No disrespect meant but maybe you should show some more to our actual active fighters, just cause you dont agree with what he says doesnt make it wrong Just a quick one to brute and the rocket.

[buster007]

agree!

[Giancarlo]

Brute sometimes claims to have been a pro boxer; perhaps he can share his details with us.

:??

[stus]

I agree i think he should atleast mark doesnt hide behind a screen name. What about the rocket is he a legend i dont know of

[Brute]

I fought prelims in the 1970s. I never laid claim to be a champion. I think I am entitled to say Green has beaten better fighters than Pawsey has.

[buster007]

thats common knowledge brute.

Yep, but the quality of Pawsey's opposition had nothing to do with the point he was trying to get across.

[buster007]

anyway i still think that just looking how chubby in the cheeks green looked showed he should be trying to fight at light heavy.
he is stuck in the middle probably. prefers not to cut weight to make light heavy by the looks of it, but idealy would be giving away weight if fighting at healthy weight for cruiser.

light heavy was around long before cruiser & super middle. If you want to get technical my last fight was at cruiser(82kg) I suppose your going to say I fought a bum. I am a bum However the. bloke. I fought in my last fight has fought blokes with better records than me, for titles and all & hey for the right money I'd fight King Kong. Isn't the topic about Danny Green a world class fighter? Why are talking about the Australian cruiser weight seen?

Hey when did I compare my record or ability to Green? Shoot me for making a comment about Green & I didn't even bag him. Hey why do they call you Brute is it because your good looking? Or back in the day you failed to wear Brute 33 maybe they should of called soapy ha ha. Going by boxrec stats Mundine & Briggs are my height. I've met both of them and they are both shorter than me & going by that photo Green is 1 inch taller than me also what about Hopkins? It used to say on his boxrec stats that he was 6 foot and half now it says his 6 foot 1 what he grew half an inch at the age of 40 something? One more thing that photo of me is when I was super middle & never put myself in the same league as Green as far as records or ability goes.
