Better fighter: Tszyu or Michalczewski?

I don't think I'd break a sweat explaining that.

 

Idk. Rocchigiani, Griffin, and Hill are about on par with Zoo's best wins. Zoo had better filler but also had the loss to Phillips.

 

DM only fought at home

 

All the exact same things can be said about RJJ for example as well but rarely are. Double standards.

 

I think Roy fought outside of Florida

 

Dariusz was from Poland, not Germany where the fights were based. So he was fighting out of a foreign country when you get down to it. and also to consider---how many German boxing fans were going to root all out for a guy from Poland?

 

lol

 

This...plus he was an international competitor and wasn't afraid to venture from his comfort zone. He wasn't a big fish in a little pond.

 

To a degree, but Roy fought at "home" where most of the better fighters were and he has better fighters on his resume. So I don't like the analogy personally

 

In response to this, and having been deeply into the sport at that time, it was where we thought most of the best fighters were. We have since learned that there was a wave of top rate super mids, light-heavies and soon to be heavies coming from Eastern Europe. I still think Jones would have beaten DM but DM was better than a lot of Americans assumed because they just based their assumption on his origin.

 

Don't disagree with you and your points. Though I would say, the proper term phrase would be... most of the best fighters were here, but there were better fighters in Eastern Europe than was believed. I'd be okay with that, but your phrasing makes it seem like most of the best fighters were in Eastern Europe.

 

He also did not travel to America or Great Britain. As he loved his home cooking.

 

RAG is probably my favorite troll. (with apologies to MVC!)

 

How many gifts did he get? I don’t remember anything controversial except the DQ in the Roc fight.
