Who are the guys Roy Jones should have fought?

robert allen

 

Herbzg should have a list of about 10 undefeated euro fighters he should have fought

 

Steve Collins/Nigel Benn/Chris Eubank

 

agreed, also calzaghe a lot earlier

 

Collins, Eubank, Benn, a young Calzaghe...

Was anyone on here into boxing at that time? What was the general consensus as to why these fights never got made?

 

"Aw jeez, not this **** again."

 

Steve Collins, Michael Nunn, Nigel Benn, Dariusz Michalczewski, Frankie Liles, Vassily Jirov, Chris Eubank, Bernard Hopkins rematch

 

Hopkins rematch (15 years earlier)

Benn

Michaelczeski

 

I was into boxing back then but i was only about 8 so i didnt understand the logistics of these things..

And i still dont know the reasons why Jones Benn never happened:huh

 

What??? In 1994 Cal was barely getting his feet wet let alone earlier. By the time Calzaghe was even a blimp on the radar screen Roy was firmly enshrined at 175. As far as the others mentioned they had the same opportunities to fight Roy as he did them. The stench of the Olympics was still pretty fresh in Roys mind and traveling for a fight was not a consideration and apparently the others mentioned in this thread were not to fond of travelling either.

 

I think he fought most of the guys he should have...and some that he shouldn't have.

 

mcclellan would have shattered jones' anabolic steroid riddled glass jaw years earlier.

 

I gotta say Gman, i think, would have been too much for Jones, also, Nigel Benn I'd have liked to have seen him in there with

 

I think you'll find Collins fought half his career in the states and would have gladly gone stateside for the opportunity and the paycheck.
Nigel Benn won his middleweight title in America and his supermiddleweight title in Italy.
Chris Eubank defended his titles in Portugal, Germany and South Africa.
