    Does anyone have a guess as to why RJJ never fought at least one of these guys during his two-year run at SMW?

    Nigell Benn was the only one of the trio that had a realistic chance of happening, but when the fight was at its peak, after Benn beat G Man, benn wasnt, he was done.

    Jones wouldve boxed their heads off and Hopkins and Toney are better wins imo anyway.

    This has more to do with it than anything else.

    Absolutely right.. Nigel would have loved to fight RJJ

    Chris would have fought anyone.. and i think Steve was more avoided than any of em..
