Everyone is always on B-hop or Calzaghe's nuts about their title defense records while Michalczewski has certainly defended against better opposition than Joe for sure and you could maybe even argue better opponents than B-hop did at MW collectively.....he also had more successful defenses of his WBO LHW title than both.

He was a good fighter but imo it's the same reason sven ottke doesn't get much props for his 21 title defenses - all in germany and didn't fight the best fighters.
Now Dariusz WAS better than that and his fight with Hill was a great win which is far better than anything ottke did, just sayin. Defending a single belt for years in germany is the reason.

Always wanted him and Jones to get it on.
No way in his prime Jones was going there- sour grapes from Seoul in 1988 when he got robbed.
I read a lot of stuff on why/how it didn't happen.

not fighting top opposition is a problem/ and or robbing fighters who come to your backyard, but I don't think Dariusz is guilty of either

Germany isn't the home of the greatest fighters in the world. It's good money, so I don't blame guys like Dariusz, Sturm, Ottke, etc., but if he really wanted to be the best he had his chances but didn't want to take them.
