Hopkins v Green talk?

[Malius]

Are the two parties actually having discussions about this fight?? Can someone link me info or is it just hearsay and rumour??

I think this fight is too risky for an ageing hopkins, and that it will prolly not go ahead but after Greens victory over Jones it seems a logical step to regain US honour and all that jizz.

something needs to be done about Green, the guy is crap, he got a lucky punch on an old Jones, and now his name is being bandied around with Hopkins and Dawson. Green is like a bad smell and someone needs to open the window.

As an australian, I got Katsidis, Mundine and Green to go for.

Katsidis doesn't get that great opportunities, Mundine = Fail, so green it is. He aint the best fighter but he does have a decent record and has def fought better comp than Mundines argentinian bus drivers.

what about Darchinyan? him and Katsidis are your best fighters by FAR

This is true.

As far as Hopkins-Green goes... There was a report on here a few days ago about Green still wanting the fight, but Hopkins being hesitant to agree to anything below a 60-40 split - which is a highly contentious issue, considering the fight would be held in Australia and that Green would bring with him a very large fan base. Green wants 50-50... But it looks like he's going to have to concede something if he wants Hopkins to travel down under.

Here is a link to the story:

Thanks for link subz,

I do like Vic but he seemed to be back into his head 1st attack and got schooled by agbeko. Boy doesn't seem to learn, but I do go watch him fight.

Hopkins would be crazy to go overseas at his stage in his career. He should give in and fight Dawson. He's done enough to be remembered as a great, he should either go for the gold or retire. I'd hate to see him end his career on a bad note.

earl,

u r a hater so your comments have no credit.

green is not crap and u know it. u r a narc.

u should know that green was world champ before he came back again, so green has more than enough cred to fight anybody. so stfu if u don't know what your talking about.

last I heard Green said he's willing to fight hopkins for the 60-40 split in favor of hopkins. I haven't heard form hopkins since so either they are working on signing the contract as we speak, or hopkins has another deal he's working on that he likes even more. The one thing hopkins has said over and over is he doesn't want to fight oversea's,so I'm not sure what he's going to do. His options seem pretty limited though so I think he fights green next.

I'd like to see Green have his chance on the big stage, let the chips fall as they may...
