You are incorrect. Dariusz was happy to travel to America, Jones wasnt happy to travel to face the champ. There was more money to be made in Germany, but these bias fools will say America is the mecca of boxing, even though the Queensbury rules came from England patsch. Dariusz had claim to all of the major belts Jones owned. Dariusz was WBO champ, won the WBA & IBF only to be forced to relinquish and beat the WBC champ Rocchigiani who was wrongly stripped of his title. I think Jones would start fast and be ahead early before Michalczewski lands a few times and KOs Jones
Darius was as happy to tavel to America just like Joe was ..No wonder you defend these two .. Both guys were WBO babies confortable just defending that meaningless strap !
Bailey, Where does this nonsense come from? DM was happy to go to America? Well why didn't he go then, if he was happy to? He turned two HBO offers down for a reported sum of $5M. If he'd have been happy to have gone, he'd have gone, simple as that. He was happy defending his WBO belt for decent money. Nobody is disputing where the queensbury rules came from. America is the mecca of boxing. How many big fights did Germany host ten years ago? How could they have made money in Germany?
you've made an unintended error there, you just made Calzaghe look **** bwecause he couldtn KO shot Jones, yet Darius, a good champ at best, can KO a better Jones. use edit key, not to worry, Bailey. but hurry!
DM was a very good fighter but he would never have beaten Roy. Ever. Retrospectively, people like to look back and say Roy would've been ko'd had he fought fighter x, since he went downhill so quickly at the end. How come no-one actually came close to doing that to him in his prime though? Seriously, there's not a ****ing chance Michalczeweki beats Jones.
Think you forgot that both unified when rivals would face them Michalczewski won WBO WBA IBF LHW titles and beat the man Calzaghe won WBO WBC WBA IBF SMW titles Yeah Jones didnt face them because he was busy beating Maske, Tiozzo, Collins, Eubank McClellan, Benn, Nunn, Rocchigiani....
How many big fights did Germany host ten years ago? Where do i stop. Look at the crowds and size of the events when Ottke, Michalczewski, The Klitschko brothers even Sturm when he fights. The ***** Cat dolls even performed in the ring for one boxing match. HBO admitted Dariusz was happy to travel [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0Erh4RKbHE[/ame] Go to 2 mins :hi:
Would be nice if we could skip the who ducked who and when bull**** debate, which has been done to death, and have a thread were we break down the fighters styles, and decide who would win. Howabout that guys? Someone? Anyone?
DM said he was willing to travel... well Roy answered with whoever wants some come get it.. Why didn't DM come?
