Danny has never really fought at 90kg at all. His two fights at 90kg on the scale, he was drinking and eating walking up to weigh in. Both times he was knocked out (Tarver/Wlodarcyk). The rest of his fights have been at Dannyweight, floating between 82-86kg. So his fight with Mundine is perfect DannyWeight at 83kg. I will watch the fight, but there is no way this can end well for Choc. In saying that, when they first fought they were both as close to their peaks/ideal weights as possible (including whinging Danny), so in reality Choc is/was always the superior fighter.
Green's last 6 fights that Boxrec lists his weight for:
vs Watts - Green 190lbs
vs Bolanti - Green 187.25lbs
vs Cameron - Green 192lbs
vs Wlodarczyk - Green 197.24lbs
vs Tarver - Green 199lbs
vs Briggs - Green 184.25lbs
Now let me get my handy dandy calculator out & divide those figures by the magic number 2.2 & see what we get:
Goodness me, looks like the majority of Green's last 7 fights since Briggs have seen him fighting closer to 90kgs than his previous fighting weight :tdh
Personally I rate Green as the more established and proven boxer, but I think stylewise Choc is superior at their peak. Both have been huge figures of the sport in this country so it is only fitting that they go out fighting each other, and put the rivalry to bed hopefully with an excellent undercard and huge exposure for the sport.
If you really think a fighter eating and drinking at the weigh in, coming in at 86kg, and placing restrictions on opponents weights is actually fighting at 90kg, you may want to reconsider. Since the age of day before weigh ins, fighters blow up atleast 4-5kg, often as much as 10kg in the larger weights. The only two fights green actually contractually allowed his opponents to weigh 90kg, he got knocked the fuck out. Green could comfortably make light heavy now if he wanted. 83kg significantly favours Green, I can't believe the fight is being sanctioned to be honest. Can anyone show me a fight from history where a junior middle weight has jumped to cruiserweight in the space of a fight? I would not think it has ever been done, and for good reason.
looked like he was stick and bones to go to 69kg. He would have easily blown back up to probs around 75kg.
It's more like he'd be jumping from about 7 or 8 kgs up.
Considering rumours of Mundine being allowed to weigh in using his own scales in his hotel room on the eve of several of his domestic MW & JMW fights & the results of fights when he had to weigh in officially at 154 (Clottey & The Truth) I daresay Mundine "never actually fought at 154" either, "except for the fights where he got battered (Clottey & The Truth)" :lol:
the hate i've been seeing for this fight from casuals and non boxing fans is pretty out there. the promoters might need to make this fight more interesting
You still have not named one. Go for it, no doubt it will be some pre ww2, farce paper fight that meant fuck all.
I love bogan fans like you that have absolutely no idea.

You boldly claimed nobody has ever jumped the same number of weight classes in the space of a single fight as Mundine will and now you are wavering because you don't even know.
I honestly don't know why spud casuals like you come on boxing forums and make fools of themselves with their stupid claims.

Out of "6 years of fighting at JMW" he officially fought 6 times at JMW out of 17 fights - the other 11 fights were at MW.
Given his propensity for struggling to make JMW & fighting more often at MW than at JMW during his "JMW career" I tend to place stock in those rumours.
Given the fact I personally witnessed several of the weigh in's, i give absolutely no credence to the rumours, and even less value to the uneducated bloke on the keyboard carrying on as if he writes for a gossip mag.
Again if you do not understand the difference between Greeny hitting the scales at 90 whilst drinking and eating, and contractually obliging opponents to weigh in far less than the cw limit, you are just showing how limited your boxing knowledge is. Or you are simply trolling because you are unhappy in life, i think the latter is most likely.
Ah Soliman, fighting below light heavy against a below light heavy for the aus cruiseweight title, then fighting junior middle, then subsequently again fighting for the aus cruiserweight title weighing below super middle, against a light heavy weighing opponent? Fair enough, i guess if Green was coming in at 175 it would be the same.
You ladies certainly have been entertaining. Unlike you bitter gentlemen I have better things to do then converse with cretins on a board. Don't forget to change your undies atleast once a week lads.
Glad you have taken my advice. Go read about boxing. It will be an eye opener for you.
Oh, and of course you were wrong about nobody having ever jumped the same number of weight classes in the space of a single fight as Mundine will. But I'll save you the embarrassment of answering it for another day.
