Roy Jones is washed up, he should have never come out of retirement.

I like Green, he has an excellent attitude. Good on him.
And SoM, there are some extremely fit, strong (and attractive) people typing this message right now who are over 40.

Buktop, What are your thoughts on Danny Green's tupajnca on Roy Jones JR in the first round?? He won the fight with that punch.

Danny Green seems to be a pretty good fighter, hell of a hit.

My concerns are after seeing Roy Jones Jr fight Calzaghe I knew he wasn't the same fighter he used to be

Yes Roy Jones beat Omar Sheika (lost to Calzaghe) and Jeff Lacy (lost to Calzaghe) but he is past his prime and should have stayed retired. Seeing that Green beat Roy Jones in the first round leads me to believe he is a good fighter, he only lost what? 3 fights? But I have not seen him come up against any big names from my neck of the woods.

Let me know when he wants to fight Floyd Pretty Boy Money Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao

But in all honesty, my favorite all time fighters are the Klitschko brothers, now they are some damn good fighters!

Buktop, Anthony the Man Mundine beat him.

Danny Green is the only one to beat Roy Jones Jr in the first round, in order to be a legend you have to beat a legend. Danny Green is not young either he is 36, Jones Jr is 40.

I thought Floyd Mayweather retired?? He took up wrestling for a bit.

Klitschko Brothers are great however i liked Lenox Lewis he was a great fighter in my mind.

If Green was to take on Mundine again, I have no doubt he will destroy him, probably not as quick as he did Jones, but it will be a complete victory nonetheless.

With regard to fighters who are over the hill, let's keep in mind what Foreman did after several years out of the scene.

Even Muhammed Ali wasn't as quick and agile when he came back after his banning from the sport, but he still produced some magic. Although, I have always liked Joe Fraser's tenacity and it can't be forgotten that he is the first one to beat Ali in a decisive manner (although I think Cooper may have dropped Ali in an earlier fight, with the latter getting back up and reclaiming the fight).

I always liked Tyson's methodical approach, in my opinion, if we are to take fighters at their peak and best, nobody in the world could beat Mike Tyson in the form he displayed against people like Berbick, Bruno, etc. He almost killed Frank Bruno in the first fight.

But my all time greatest fighter has always been one Rocky Marciano, who never lost a fight, with a record of 49-0 with 43 knockouts (or thereabouts). And he wasn't as methodical as Tyson either, but he had stamina and tenacity, and despite being dropped several times in his career, each time he got back up and won the fight. Every single time. The only 'questionable' victory may the one against Joe Louis, if I recall correctly there may have been some controversy over that one. It's been so long now since I was into the sport, but I was very involved in my earlier years, the discussion here is bringing back some memories, hence the rant, lol....

Also, Marvin Hagler was one of the most fearsome middleweight fighters there was, and I don't blame him for pretty much ending his career after the split decision that went to Sugar Ray, I have watched that fight, over and over again, I still think Hagler should have had it. The middleweight division during their era was very exciting times for boxing.

SOM, Mindine just said that he made Danny Green be his bitch, however Mundine is three weight divisions lower which means that Green has to starve himself to meet that.
