Who did Roy Jones avoid during his career?

At LHW? Dawson cuz he is rangy. Remember, while Jones was still in his physical prime, 175 was not Jones prime weight. He was not as good at LHW as he was at MW and SMW.

 

a chance?

hmm mayb CHad Dawson, b/c he got decent power and fast hands, and he's a southpaw. But prime RJ I would still pick him. Even though Chad got lots of skill, he can b hit, and hurt. We seen that be4. So I would still pick RJ

 

How about MW and SMW?

 

2 b honest, and i probably would catch flack 4 it. But its my opinion. at MW, or SUper middleweight.
Absolutely no1 IMO

Prime Rj. no1 in those 2 divisions could see him IMO

 

Fighting there now? No one.

 

Nobody.

 

LOL.

Same three answers for both questions posed.

First one all for the same reasons.

Classic

 

I agree also Nobody

 

Fair enough, though I'm not certain that they'd offer DM more than 4 mil. Particularly considering that 8-10 years ago, 4 mil was considerably more for a boxer than it is today. DM wasn't well known in the States (his own fault), which would have been a big deterrant for HBO throwing that kind of money at him.

As to Lampley and Merchant, I believe they were under a contract--imposed by Roy Jones himself--which stipulated that they were not allowed to mention DM's name on air during any Roy Jones fight, so I doubt they referred to him. I saw numerous fights where Merchant referred to "other challenges at LHW" but none where he explicitly mentioned Michalczewski.

 

Tarver always had and always will have RJJ's number.

 

LOL.

OK.

 

on my card Tarver beat RJJ in the first fight, clearly beat him in the last and was the first to KHTFO. Tarver is a bad style matchup for RJJ any year.
