Roy Jones Jr vs Michael Nunn

He wasn't, he was ringside watching.

 

Dokes did better v Holy than Roy would have and had far quicker hands than Ruiz had.

Hahahahaaahh

 

Also Dokes was one of the few heavyweights that could have matched Roy`s hand speed at heavy I think it would have been an entertaining fight based on that alone.

 

And now it's turned into a troll thread.....
Great.

 

Jones wasn't 'famous' at all, neither was Nunn.

Outside of Ali, Tyson and Foreman, few were in the States.

 

Jones didn`t actually catch Toney that much, it`s just that Toney couldn`t catch Jones with anything at all.

 

Leonard and Hagler were superstars, Jones PPV figures weree much higher thabn a lot of fighters and would have been higher than Nunn`s if any of his fights had of been on PPV.

 

Fighters say things all the time.

When that interview took place, he was obviously in a great place mentally. But he was never going to fight 3 world class fighters in a 12 month period along with 3-7 other fighters too.

It was completely unrealistic. And if he’d have really wanted Nunn, he could have held talks with King at the end of the year to discuss some options.

Personally, I think he was glad that he drew with Eubank, and it was the best outcome he could have hoped for.

 

No he was in a studio I remember it well, unless it wasn`t shown live and he was in the studio when they showed the reply, I know what I heard, Eubank had no interest in Jackson and McCallum stated Eubank ducked him also just before his first fight with Watson.

 

Naseem Hamed did far bigger numbers on HBO than Jones.

 

Well Jackson wasn't even allowed to fight in the UK due to his eye problems!

Barry Hearn announced in April 1990 that Eubank would be fighting either McCallum in his next fight or Jackson for the vacant WBC belt. It was McCallum who turned the fight down saying Eubank wasn't a name, and Jackson who the BBBoC said couldn't medically be sanctioned to fight in the UK.

 

Eubank always said after becoming champion he wouldn't fight the other top guys until his last fights because he wanted to make money first.

 

AFTER becoming champion.... Once champion he was not obliged. If he lost in his last fight it didn't matter, the money had been made. Most honest fighter ever.

 

SKY were already on the horizon with him around the Benn II fight, HIM not Barry Hearn, due to Lennox Lewis doing poor numbers. He was also very close to managing and promoting a young Naseem Hamed, which would've been his income sorted.
