Boxer Danny Green would like to fight UFC Champ Brock Lesnar
Former super-middleweight (168 lbs) boxer and current IBO cruiser-weight champion, Danny “Green Machine” Green, told the Daily Telegraph that he would be interested in fighting the current UFC heavyweight champion, Brock Lesnar.
“I’ve spoken to my management team about getting in touch with (UFC president) Dana White to see if it’s possible. It would have to be a stand up fight. There’s no way I could compete with Lesnar on the ground…The bloke outweighs me by plenty and was a champion college wrestler. But to stand inside a steel cage and be able to use fists and elbows … I’d fight bareknuckle if that’s what it takes to get him inside a steel cage,” Green told Sydney’s Daily Telegraph on July 20, 2010.
The size differential would be significant but Green has a history of taking on the toughest guys in boxing, he once traveled to Los Angeles, California in 2004 to spar with heavyweight boxer James Toney and the sparring session turned out to be a real gym war.
Green is currently contending at cruiser-weight, he holds the International Boxing Organization cruiser-weight title and his next fight is on July 21 against fellow Aussie boxer Paul Briggs. Danny Green’s biggest win was a knockout against Roy Jones Jr in December or 2009.

stupid. just goes to show how much boxers know about mma. bareknuckle mma fights were over 15 years ago.
a respectable high profile fighter like brock lesnar would never compete in such a ridiculous feat. it has no bearing or benefit to his career.
danny is a legend in boxing but he should keep it to that.

LOL, whatever, lesnar IS the juggernaut.
Lesnar is a wrestler. To stipulate the fight can’t go to the ground is silly. It’s like Lesnar saying he wants to fight Danny Green but no punches allowed.
Say that in any BJJ gym and see how long your Boxing, Kickboxing or Kung Fu fighting skills hold up!
I used to be a streetfighter. From a very young age around 9 or so. We never had rules or limits. I guess there was one rule. Win every fight or survive them. After a while it became pure instinct. I learnt to wrestle, box, kick and use a range of weapons. I defeated guys double my size. Two notables were one I first outpunched, then wrestled him to the ground, pinned him down and then landed around 50 punches on his face. As i got off him.. he still got up as i was nowhere near his size or power.. i ended the fight with kung fu.. kick to the side of the head.. knockout in front of 350 spectators in a public park. The second was against a total monster. literally double my weight and still is today, he had bashed a friend and i at first charged him then when he flinched i stood my ground in front of him and unloaded a barrage of hits to the face. He gave up and we became friends. i never made it to professional fighting, i had wanted to become a fighter all my life.. but i would have given Green a run for his money in my prime. As for the big fella.. i dunno you cant wrestle him, you cant kick him.. my power is way lacking.. i think Green has a lot of balls to even consider fighting Lesner to be honest.. i had one defence for guys that big and conditioned.. i was the fastest runner you ever saw..
So silly.
I can’t believe he really contacted the UFC. Why would they want to do a stand up only fight against a boxer? Why doesn’t green go to a wrestling match against a wrestler….
Brock is the UFC Champion, if you want to fight him, you have to actually do UFC style fighting

Danny, I love what you’ve achieved in boxing but mate that is easily the silliest comment I will read for the next decade.
Most UFC standard middle and welterweights would destroy the best heavyweight boxers. To suggest at cruiserweight you’d take a well rounded a powerful man that has to cut weight to make the heavyweight limit goes beyond laughable.
Danny Green becomes more of a joke every day.
The latest farce with Briggs.. all his bragging about beating an old Roy Jones..
Now this rubbish.
Why not try someone who can dtrike Danny.. maybe Anderson Silva
Greg. I don’t mind Danny Green as a boxer but when he says he’d take on a UFC heavyweight much less the champion pretty much gives me a stitch from laughing too hard.
Forget heavyweights like Lesnar or middlewights like Silva, WEC fighters like Jose Aldo would either cut his legs to pieces or take one of Danny’s arms home with them.
Man Danny is so gay – get your hand off it you tool and first prove that you’re actually a champion boxer, not someone that can only beat has-beens…
