    Is it true that Jones ducked Michalczewski and even made HBO sign a contract stating they never mentioned the Poles name on the network?

    Yes it's true, one of the biggest ducks ever.
    Jones Jnr's chin later proved to be pure Glass which wasn't apparent when he was beating up poor opposition for years, therefore I think Michalcwewski would have knocked him out. Michalczewski was a brilliant fighter, it's a shame many so called boxing fans have never heard of him, he made countless defencesof his world title for about a decade he was a beast.

    He most certainly did. About the only legit threat to him at the weight and he did a Mayweather Pacquiao

    No. They never had to fight each other, but they should've fought each other.

    DM was stripped unfairly, but he also never wanted to leave Germany after he won the title, and face the big boys because he made good money-at home. He never wanted to come to America.

    DM was a garbage WBO champ when roy was the man and was undisputed light heavyweight champ....they didnt even count the WBO back then because it was garbage.
    DM went life and death and should have had a loss against Richard Hall, someone roy beat the holy **** out of for 10 rounds.
    DM would have been clowned by RJ. end of thread

    if there was any ducking, it was mutual.
    Nothing like Pac/Mayweather, both primarily
    fought in the U.S.
    Neither Roy or Darius felt the urge to
    travel to the other's background. It is
    what it is. Everything isn't a duck

    Sorry if it has been discussed. Am I right in aying that DM was the lineal king, but when he retired Jones was made 'the man' at 175... just a big grey area.

    Nope let me ask you this why would the Champ have to go defend in Europe? Jones didnt trust Germany or the commissions out there so if Michalczewski wasnt willing to come here thats on him.

    However Julio Gonzales went out there and exposed Michalczewski and we already know Jones Dominated Julio... I wouldnt call this ducking and I never heard of no contract with HBO that wouldnt allow them to mention his name.

  14. Yes. Michaleczewski was pure European boxing school, no way Roy Jones Jr. would face him. Dariusz's style was Roy's cryptonite.
