School me on Dariusz Michalczewski ...

Tell me all about the guys pro career, how will he go down in history? What did the fans think of him during his career? What do they think of him now? Did he get any hometown decisions in Germany? How does he do against some of the All Time Greats?

And any other information and opinions you have on him let me know.

I'd appreciate the feedback, cheers.

 

he was robbed in gonzalez fight

from boxrec
"Had Michalczewski won, he would have been the first boxing champion in quite some time to tie Rocky Marciano's record of 49-0."

coincidence?

 

Roy jones ducked this man to fight HBO cans this entire career.

True story.

 

typical euro bum who milked his title in germany.......

 

:deal

 

I dont even remember anymore how that fight went. I dont know man.. He made respectfull career even he lost or not to Gonzalez.

Funny that bolded part reminded me about Larry Holmes vs Spinks I...

 

Was beaten half to death by Richard Hall and Gonzalez. Most meaningful victory was over a faded Virgil Hill who had sprained his ankle and couldn't use his moviement.

 

Him and Jones ducked each other like the plague to milk their titles at home.

 

reading these Americans it is pretty clear it still bothers them RJJ never beat the real Champ.

 

Richard Hall had a great fighting spirit and heart.

 

sure, M was a very solid fighter but he fought in europe whereas jones stayed in the us and neither fighter seemed willing to travel to the other fighters backyard. when he lost he was way past his prime. nevertheless, his opposition was slightly weaker than jones, but he was not bum and for most of the time he was considered the second best in the division after jones jr.

 

He had great coordination and had a semi-crouch technique where he was good to counter with powerful hooks and combinations.

He defeated linealchamp Virgil Hill and in the process added the WBA and IBF belt. Was then stripped of the WBA for showing the WBO-belt alongside it, and stripped by the IBF because he wouldnt face Don King(Suprise!)-controlled William Guthirie only a month later.

 

Went life and death with Richard Hall. Lost to Gonzalez. Overrated European fighter. Been a million of em.

 

:yep

 

There was no way in hell that was a robbery ! Should have been a UD for Gonzalez ...

DM barely did anything all night except stalk ..And when he threw his flurries half of them barely connected ..
