Who wins, Dariusz Michalczewski v. Roy Jones Jr.? In his past three fights RJJ has shown us all that he handles pressure horribly, and DM is a pure pressure style fighter. Yes RJJ is not in his prime, but for a once great to lose in such a fashion raises serious questions about said fighters greatness. I think we all know that DM became the linear champ by beating Virgil Hill. That he was stripped of the WBA belt immediatlely after the fight for having the WBO belt at the same time. And that William Guthrie sued him and won by having the IBF order DM to give him a title shot within 30 days after he won the IBF belt from Hill. So the guy becomes linear champ and leaves with the same belt he entered the fight with, the WBO belt. Talk about getting screwed. We all know about the attempts to make a fight between RJJ and DM happen. Too bad Roy outbid himself once again from a fight by demanding $10 million. I wonder why he did that? The fight can never happen now because both fighters are well past their primes and they should probably both retire. The RJJ fans say that DM lost in a SD to Julio Cesar Gonzalez, and that RJJ beat Gonzalez. If you are going to point to fighters losses that happen after they are past their prime then you have to also allow for RJJ's two humiliating losses to Johnson and Tarver. Gonzalez was also one of the many fighters to have beaten Johnson. DM and RJJ have had quite a few common opponents and DM seems to have a slite edge in this one.
