    RJJ would have been laughed out of Boxing for leaving Hopkins' date-less to fight DM.

    Why would DM want to go to America? He was champ.
    Was he? Was Jones willing to go to Germany and face the champ?

    Dm wanted to defend his Wbo strap they let him defend it against whoever he wanted to and when ever he wanted ...He wasn't wrongfully stripped he wanted norhing to do with his mandos for the Wba ,Ibf and Wbc. He had no intentions of ever leaving Germany ..Yet Roy ducked this man ? Yeah OK !

    He was stripped of the WBA immediately, basically for merely winning the WBO, and as I recall, the IBF gave him 30 days to defend after he unified that strap.

    How anyone could say that this does not constitute being "wrongfully" stripped of a title is baffling.

    You sure the Wba just stripped for him only winning the WBO or holding them together or was it that he refused to fight his mandatory in Lou Devalle ?

    Funny who later became WBA champ before Jones picked up that strap .


    And the IBF ,are you aware of thevlegal situation with William Guthrie who also became one of DM's mando who he also refused to fight ?


    Here is the article

    DM was far from just wrongfully stripped .


    I think that the fact that these circumstances never get brought up is what really is baffling when this comes up .:-(

    Roid Jones ran from Michalczewski for years, and for good reason, as we found out later.............
