Yes.

 

^^^^^^^^ :deal

 

this is one of those fights that would liven up the boxing world, but never happened

 

It's ironic that Roy Jones fanboys will come in and tell you that 'Roy was the greatest, he would have dominated him'. Yet in reality, Jones in his prime was reluctant to face guys like Benn, Collins, Michalschewski, even though they all called him out and were willing to travel to the United States. It's a shame Jones didn't share his fanboys confidence.

Credit to him though, Jones did look impressive beating up that sanitation worker and mail-man.

 

Roy would have beat him...would have like to see the fight...neither guy wanted to fight in the other respective country, but when you are a world champion, you can fight anywhere in the world...both had their reasons...Dariusz thought he wouldnt get a fair shake in the states, and Roy had already been screwed out of a goal medal in a fight he dominated in Korea.

Style-wise I think Darius would have had a harder time figuring out Jones awkward style and dealing with his speed and elusiveness...would have been compeititive because Darius was a big Light-heavyweight very good jab, and had a very good body attack good combos...only thing that would be at his detriment is his defensive poster and with that peek a boo style Jones would have an easier time anticipating his offense and also throwing and landing showy combos to pick up points...I say Jones would probably win a close fight by like 2-3 rounds no domination but a clear win:good

 

here we go again...cant put all the blame on Jones it takes to to tango...also dont diminish his accomplishments like that....the guys you say he should of fault he accomplished more than them in his career respectively...

as a fan hell yea I wish those fights would have happened but its so many politics in boxing we dont know, its not fair to point the finger at one guy...What Jones did do isnt anything to sneeze at...he is the only guy to ever win titles at 160,168,175, and a belt at heavyweight

....their resumes dont stack up to his so if you are criticizing his competition, look at theirs and do the same, if not appreciate what they all did, not what they didnt:good

 

The fighters that I mentioned all called Jones out, were all willing to travel to America, and Jones found excuses not to face any of them. Throughout much of his career, he was a paper champion, he never beat a single unified, lineal or undisputed champion. I'm not diminishing anything, those are facts, what's irritating is his fanboys glorifying wins over the likes of Derrick Harmon and Glen Kelly, when he should have been fighting guys like Eubank.

 

How can you can you criticize Jones when Darius is the only one who ever was a unified lineal champion...Nigel Benn, Steve Collins, Eubank never were lineal champions either

you cant put all the blame on Roy

As much as you are down playing Roy Jones resume and competition these are facts:

1)He has beaten more champions than any of them and by alot, 18 wbc,wba, ibf, 19 if you include the WBO
2) won more titles,
3)beat more hall of famers

so its really not right for you to **** on Jones like he never did anything when he has accomplished more than them...I wished the fights would have happened but they didnt...he did accomplsih more than them though and will be remembered for that

 

Jones arguably never beat the man in any division he campaigned at.

You want to talk about Jones' time at SMW? Roy Jones defended his IBF 168 title five times, three of which weren't even ranked in the top 10 at 168 at the time and another was just a 'blown-up' Lightweight. He never fought the other World Champions (Benn, Eubank, Collins, Liles).

 

they didnt fight him it goes both ways, dont ignore the facts trying to validate a shallow argument...he fought better competition than they did in their careers and accomplished more as well....besides each other who else did they beat or fight? Eubank beat 5 champs...Liles beat 4, Benn beat 3, and Collins beat 2 and lost to all the rest

If you wanna nitpick on who they didnt fight...they never fought Jones, Hopkins, Toney, or Nunn(liles beat him past prime tho) who all accomplished more and will be remembered as greater fighters

As much as you are down playing Roy Jones resume and competition these are facts:

1)He has beaten more champions than all of them combined, 18...19 if you include the WBO
2) won more titles,
3)beat more hall of famers
