After regaining his pound-for-pound status with a spectacular one-round KO off Montell Griffin, the WBC had ordered Jones to defend against former two-division champ Michael Nunn. (note the time frame in the 2nd Griffin fight and his next against Virgil Hill)
It was a best time for Jones to answer some of his critics, Nunn was once a top middleweight, Roy could cash into his name like Mike McCallum whom he fought a year ago, consider that Benn and Eubank were done by '97, and seriously, Steve Collins will never be competitive against RJJ.
If Jones could give title shots to the likes of Otis Grant and Rick Frazier, why can't Nunn, since obviously Roy doesnt wanna fight his amateur rival Frankie Liles (who beat Nunn) either.
Other than the Pac-May of that era, Roy Jones vs Dariusz M, Michael Nunn was the other opponent RJJ purposely ducked.
