By Dan Ambrose: Following two consecutive humiliating losses in the Super Six tournament, the struggling super middleweight contender Allan Green (29-3, 20 KO’s) will be now fighting at light heavyweight to try and get a change of luck.

Green, 31, has been having problems getting down to the 168 pound super middleweight limit. Presumably, by moving up in weight to light heavyweight, Green will be able to find his lost form. However, Green’s problems make go deeper than just his problems making weight.

Green doesn’t throw enough punches and he was hurt by some shots in his last fight by 42-year-old Glen Johnson. Green’s problems may be more to do with not throwing enough punches and having a chin that is a little too shaky for him to succeed at the highest level.

In an interview at boxingtalk.com, Green said “Anybody with eyes could see. It’s hard when you’re in camp and you’re at 174 or 173 and everybody is telling you that you should move up because you’re not the same fighter when you take off the extra weight. I don’t have a lot of fat to cut in the first place. I am very good fighter at 168, but I’ll be much better at 175 because I’ll be stronger and faster.”

By moving up in weight, Green may continue to have problems because there are some tough fighters at light heavyweight like Tavoris Cloud and Beibut Shumenov that Green will have problems with. Green would also likely have problems with the speedy Jean Pascal and Chad Dawson. Those guys are beatable but it’s doubtful that Green would have enough talent to beat them.
