    I notice that most people that bring up these names just do that just throw out names with out many facts to support their argument it's done more with opinion ..

    They were fellow titleholders. That is enough recognition as it is.

    So now you're going to argue against the 3/4 links that you were shown?

    Remove:

    Eubank--Very small window to make that fight and Eubank didn't want it.
    Calzaghe--He was at SMW so there was never a real demand for that one.

    Add:

    Liles--Loudon has yet to produce a credible source on that one.

    not if the fighters you mention do absolutely nothing to change the playing field and up the ante
    a player on a bigger playing field doesn't offer charity to players who haven't even tried to get there yet

    How can you ignore every link that I've posted?

    You hate Roy that much, that you've even argued against what Evander and his attorney have said.

    :lol:

    The "make their name in the US" argument would make sense if Jones actually fought people that fans had heard of in the first place...

    Unless they're public servants that box part time and deserve the payday, right?

    granted
    but it's not the job of a fighter at the top of the heap to give a helping hand to fighters who don't want to make that jump

    since we can both agree that the competition at LHW wasn't crash hot at the time, how hard would it have been?

    Nobody has said that have they? :patsch

    But do you seriously think he'd have tried to fight Evander Holyfield, if he'd genuinely have been afraid of a guy like Steve Collins?

    But let me guess. He went to Atlanta with Greg Fritz, to meet Evander and Thomas, but had no intentions whatsoever of fighting him, right?

    :lol:
