julian jackson interview:talks about his upbringings admits RJjr and SRL ducked him

They can't google boxing history around me. I was around.

 

Jackson could punch!

 

I'm just not buying this bull**** about RJJ ducking Julian Jackson. Roy fought for the IBF strap around the same time that Jackson lost his strap to McClellan. If anything, Jones ducked McClellan not Jackson.

 

There's no need for him to defend anything. He's not the one with the inferiority complex. He goes down as one of the p4p best ever, well ahead of any of those you mentioned.

Roy didn't duck the fight with Jackson.

It was Big Roy who ducked the fight. He wrapped Roy in cotton wool, and had him fighting nobodies in Pensacola fairgrounds for peanuts.

Look at who Roy was fighting back then.

Lester Yardbrough, Eddie Evans and Kevin Daigle etc.

Roy never started to make progress, until he'd split with Big Roy in 92.


Below is the documentary - Beyond the Glory.

Go and watch from the 18th minute to the 20th minute, if you haven't seen it before.

Listen to what Fred Levin said, who was one half of The Levin Brothers, who handled Roy back then.

Roy didn't duck anybody at 160.


When Jackson, McCallum, Toney, Reggie Johnson and Michael Nunn were all fighting each other, Roy was doing nothing. He was held back and missed lots of great fights.

By the time the Hopkins fight came around for the vacant IBF belt, he was killing himself to make the weight at 24.

After he fought Hopkins, he fought Malinga at 167, and only made one more defence of his title against Thomas Tate, before officially moving up to 168.


It's easy to claim he ducked everyone, without knowing the facts.
