Dariusz Michalczewski - would he had been a good win for Jones, or dismissed..

hmm but he had 2 of the belts at LHW at one time and was undefeated for a long period until losing hes last 2 fights....its a weird one because i think even jones may have seen him as a 'big' competition. its a fight that should have been made. its like calzaghe maybe fighting jones earlier(someone from europe whose touted as a great fighter) except this fight was probably more realistic to make. to answer the question obviously a good win...

 

Beating DM would be the best win on Roy's resume.

 

He would have been brushed away. I can imagine it. People would say that DM was just a euro bumb that never fought in the US and had a padded record.

 

That's complete nonsense.

 

Padded record my ass. He beat two fighters that beat James Toney. He beat Virgil Hill before Jones did, as well as the likes of Rocchigiani, ect... DM actually never lost the titles that Jones carried around in the ring. Jones won titles that were stripped from DM.

 

Why is that?

 

Beating Dariusz Michalczewski would have been a great win and RJJ would have beaten him easy IMHO.

 

DM would of been an easy win for RJJ. The difference in speed that roy would have over darius would allow him to do what he wanted. And I think hopkins & toney are the best wins on roys fight log. If you think any different you don't know **** from clay.

 

The Jones fans on here like to conveniently ignore that he was parading around with 2 trinket belts that were in reality not his. Also that Jones never beat a unified, linear, or undisputed champion.

 

it would have been roy's best win at LHW by a considerable distance.

even more impressive if he'd set foot into europe and beaten DM.

 

It would have been a great win. He could have added DM to Virgil Hill, and James Toney and Bernard Hopkins. But he did not want to risk it. That was always the problem with Jones.
