I'm sorry but Nunn post Liles and Little losses was a shell of himself and really far less of a challenge than guys like Merqui Sosa and Eric Lucas.

A resume .............the fact that he obliterated the good competition and made them look like stiffs says it all,nobody wanted to fight Roy in his prime the man was an animal,i do believe he tryed to test himself by moving up way to late i would have rather seen that Hw run when the hws were still decent.

Roy Jones vacates title over contract
PENSACOLA, Fla. - Roy Jones Jr. says keeping his WBC light heavyweight title is not worth breaking a television contract and vacated the 175-pound title Wednesday rather than agree to fight No. 1 contender Michael Nunn for $1.8 million. He has one fight remaining on a three-year contract with Home Box Office and its pay-per-view network, TVKO. However, Nunn's promoter, America Presents, won the purse bid for the proposed title fight and wanted to stage it Jan. 17 on a competing pay-per-view system, Request TV.
One of these days, I'll dig up the why should I have had to fight a Michael Nunn who shows up interview he did later on. Interesting and one of those things I read that always stuck with me on how smart he was management wise. It's just one of those oddball things. As to Rocky, given what Roy probably offered, it was surely more profitable to stay in Germany and sue the WBC. Roy wasn't going to travel for it. Given that Rocky got a healthy settlement, that's proven true.
