Good hl of dariusz michalkewski!

You want to know why nobody respects you as a poster? Check out how many posters have responded to this idiotic thread

 

That jab of his was a power punch.Cant see from the vid because of quality but he busted up his opponents faces pretty bad in most fights.

 

No one respects you but you get loads of responses. Dickhead

 

DM is an overlooked fighter these days. He could really fight.

 

Coming from a dude with a HD full of underage trolls. Really man...

 

Yeah is too bad.

He came along about 10 years too early..pre internet(for the most part) and pre any kind of repsect for a Euro fighter).

No doubt he would be a star if he was in his prime today.

 

That stoppage in the second Hall fight looked premature on the video.

 

He ****ed up by not coming to the states, taking a risk, and fighting RJJ

Even if he'd lost to RJJ, he'dve been more remembered...

 

D-MAC in his prime would've given a prime 175 lb RJJ the toughest fight of his life. I couldn't see roy clowning a tough as nails ironed chin guy that would walk you down with a GREAT jab and powerful frame. Roy would've
pot shotted dariusz to a pathetic decision. It never would've been a great fight. Roy knew it too.

 

The only real, legitimate, truly speculative question mark on RJJ's career is that he never fought Gerald McClellan.

 

DM was a great fighter. I am still pissed that we never got to see Jones vs DM.

 

I think that it had more to do with his lack of fighting top/elite fighters...KT came along at the same time and he did fine, and is still thought of highly...I recall a thread here around the time that DM retired and most felt that DM would be a forgotten fighter in 5 to 10 years, and it doesnt appear that its going to take that long.

And another thing, DM really didnt have alot of nuthuggers or haters so he didnt generate the buzz that lets say a floyd or calzaghe did/does.

In my mind DM was a rock solid fighter, not nearly as good as some thought or as bad as other thought..Overall his comp was weak, and fighting only in eastern Europe didnt help either..That all a bad combination that is leading to his lack of respect today.

 

d/m did not posses great skills but he was very strong and big at the weight/carried great power and was great to watch.

most entertaining fighter IMO to box out of germany that i saw in my 30 years.

he had defensive defeciencies , but just walked through opponents and did not let that bother him.

he was a fighter willing to take one to give one and it made him dangerous.

started off slow in fights , but then got stronger and faster as fights wore on.

as to not coming to america.

this was a fighter getting $10 million a year fighting in front of packed crowds and millions and millions of tv viewers and yet on esb i get told he was not a star and was unknown and forgotton very soon.

american tv execs did not buy his fights /thats there problem.

there are double standards as always on esb.

on the one hand you have a fighter like chad dawson/same weight as D/M for example fighting in front of 150 of his own fans and with a tv audience of 1,000,000 ? who we are told is well known and should not have to fight outside america and D/M fighting in front of 10,000 plus and ,5,000,000 to 10,000,000 tv audience plus in germany alone/ not including countries like poland for which i guess he must have been huge and did massive numbers.


european fighters have to have different standards and can never win in this situation with posters from other continents who judge by out of sight out of mind.

never bothering to turn it on its head and saying , our fighters who fight at 4 am in the morning european time on ppv with small crowds attending live and tv audiences of 200,000 average are huge worldwide stars .

which european/asian african/african continents countrys do you beleive that american boxers are big box office in ?

20 years ago it was defenatley uk where millions watched tyson /now with the advent of pay tv , american boxing gets shown on the smallest take up subscription pay tv station there is and even then at 3 am in the morning graveyard slot .

in germany the worlds biggest tv market for boxing dwarfing america`s american fighters are irrelevent and of germans who watch boxing only 1% i am guessing would have seen a pavlik/berto/dawson fight ever on premiere perhaps.

to be a world star is near impossible in todays pay tv market and only a tyson like fighter , will america have a worldwide star again.

D/M in his own continent was a huge star, not outside of it .

 

Only in eastern europe,eh!
Hell,I didnt know that Germany was in eastern europe.

I wonder why the hell Roy Jones, who mostly fought weak competition on backward American soil , didnt come over to face DM in a sold out stadium somewhere in Germany in front of 20,000 spectators and countless millions of tv viewers.
Sadly,Roy Jones is a forgotten old geezer who stills hangs around waiting for the next beating.
All in all DM was probably better known worldwide than Roy Jones who never fought outside the USA.
