It's actually funny seeing the same posters both defend Jones for not accepting certain terms, but then criticise others for not accepting terms to fight Jones.
The difference being Jones was offering career high money to face him. Where as the only offer Jones got was to goto Germany for less than his average purse 'Everyone says they want to face Roy Jones until we start talking about the finances' - Murad Muhammad
Correction. I'm a fan of Jones but you're ignoring boxers and their managers turning down career high money to fight Jones in order to troll
No you're happy when it's Jones turning down offers to fight Benn, but not happy when it's others turning down offers to fight Jones. My statement was one of pure fact. Michalczewski unified the division and was wrongly stripped.
Roy winning a HW title was a great accomplishment, but should be put in context. There's a reason he waited until Ruiz won a title to fight at HW.
Beating John Ruiz isn't impressive. Using PEDs to win an alphabet belt against the most limited belt holder in history. 'ATG P4P' stuff man
The WBA told Darius he could not be a WBO and WBA belt holder at the same time. That was why he vacated the WBA belt What is your source for this? HBO paid Jones a 3m license fee which he had to divide with his opponents. He was never in a position at any point of his career to be offering 8m purses to anyone
https://qconline.com/sports/hbo-no-nunn-sense/article_fdfdcaea-cd78-51af-98a2-93001193c2c4.html As I said before HBO paid 3m for Roy Jones fights. So if Jones offered Liles 15% (which is insulting) then Liles would of been offered something like 450k
That's not true. He was offered 5m to go to Germany, which was twice what he was making in America. https://www.nytimes.com/1998/11/14/sports/boxing-jones-delivers-more-than-just-knockouts.html
Bulldog stated that Ruiz was one of the most limited belt holders in history. You questioned that and I stated the reason why was one of the most limited belt holders in boxing
