Danny Green vs Roy Jones Jnr - WED, 2nd DECEMBER 2009

[Simo]

I wonder if anything will come out of the protest lodged regarding Green's hand wraps being illegal.

Havent heard about it but dont they get watched and signed off by an official?

 

[Mong]

Seems they complained on the night but were told to fight or be disqualified.

I wonder if they have a point or if it is just sour grapes.

Probably a bit of both imo. Australian boxing is corrupt and it's no wonder fighters don't like travelling here.

All boxing is corrupt. Jones Jr never fought anyone decent other than Hopkins, Toney (he's sorta decent I guess) and Ruiz anyway. Anyone who got beat by Tarver twice and Glen Johnson is not an all time great in my books.

Gives me an idea for a thread. Most overrated/underrated fighters of all time! Most underrated would have to be Calzaghe. Overrated would be a dead-tie between Jones Jr and Ali (again, who'd he ever fight that was good? Foreman and Frazier).

Wow someone should tell Eric Lucas, Jorge Castro, Virgil Hill and Mike McCallum(one of the best boxers of the modern era) that they aren't decent fighters, rubbish fighters become world champions(all 4 previously mentioned) and make the boxing hall of fame(McCallum) all the time.
It's funny how someone with an obvious lack of knowledge of a sport can criticise one of its true greats, it would be like me saying Michael Phelps isn't a decent swimmer.
I suggest you become more knowledgeable on the sweet science before you make another outrageous statement

lol.

+1000, that was my laugh for the day.
