Does anyone really want to see Danny Green fight Anthony Mundine again? In 2006 the Green versus Mundine fight generated huge interest, and Mundine proved to be too good on the night. However 10 years ago these two were at their peak. Now they are both past their best.
Since that fight Green has retired and come back more often than John Farnham. He had epiphanies in the shower telling him to retire, only to come back. His latest retirement also ended with a comeback after three years. He is now 42 years of age.
Mundine was just about at his peak when he beat Green. He is a natural athlete who also has a healthy lifestyle, however it would take him a few blows to knock-out all of the candles on his next birthday cake.
Both fighters have had highlights in their careers, and both have been world champions.
Green’s knockout of Roy Jones Jr, although a bit comical, was one he can tell his grandkids.
However upon reflection, Green’s career never really recovered from his first loss, a disqualification against Marcus Beyer. Green had knocked Beyer almost into the middle of next week, however he didn’t use his head to finish the fight, which resulted in him using his head a little too much; a disqualification the result.
He wasn’t the same boxer after. When he fought Beyer two years later, he was outclassed – as he was when he later fought Mundine.
Mundine’s wins over an uninspiring Antwun Echols and later against the undefeated Sergey Rabchenko are highlights. However, his American dream never quite materialised, despite spending a good part of the last 15 years trying to break into the market.
Danny Green may feel he has an old score to settle. Maybe it bugs him a bit, or a whole lot. But boxers with little more to offer the boxing world may be best to leave it at that.
Are people interested in Greene versus Mundine part two? Not me.
