What fighters did Roy Jones duck in his prime?

Steve Collins tried his best to get a retirement fund fight against Jones jnr.

you need to get yourself a hot cup of chocolate milk calming as a muthafuka lmao:boxing:

Fights that couldn't be made or don't make sense at the moment is what fans call ducking which I find stupid. you need to get yourself a hot cup of chocolate milk calming as a muthafuka

Has Jones fought any big punchers? richard hall is probabley in the same level if not a tad higher than green in terms of power

Not that he ducked them, but I would've wanted to see him fight Gerald McCellan, after Jones won the vacant IBF middleweight title. Has Jones fought any big punchers?

because toney lost to griffin....twice The second one was a robbery im told. I tried to watch it but I found it boring.

freitas , casamayor , spadafora , kostya , margarito , cotto , mosley....... oh wait wrong thread. looooooool

There was a rematch clause for a fight at smw, but Toney said he couldnt make smw anymore. He wanted to fight him at lhw and HBO was also interested in it, Jones wasnt for some reason. because toney lost to griffin....twice

James Toney Rematch, Toney was weight drain in their first fight. There was a rematch clause for a fight at smw, but Toney said he couldnt make smw anymore. He wanted to fight him at lhw and HBO was also interested in it, Jones wasnt for some reason.

Hopkins was a nobody back then, its only after he amazed a large number of title defences that people started calling him a great mw champion.

McClellan claimed that Jones was ducking him at mw. Jones was Benn's mandatory for his smw belt, but he moved down to fight Hopkins for the vacant ibf belt if you can call that a duck. I think Hopkins is more dangerous than Benn

Me neither. Tall, baldheaded southpaws were his kryptonite so maybe he would've fought Nunn :lol1:. But Liles would've given him hell. :lol1: Yeah, Liles has a very good right jab, knew how to keep distance, good skills, would've given him a very, very tough fight.

Liles was viable around 1995 though when they were both titlists at 168. Yeah, Nunn was a little iffy, he actually lost to Liles and maybe would've gotten the Jones fight had he beaten Rocchogiani but I still don't think Jones was too keen on fighting him. Me neither.

Yes...he fought Liles in the amateurs several times and got a standing eight count once. But I'm not sure Liles was so viable during Roy's LHW reign - though he would have been just as difficult. Nunn had a nice run before losing to Rochigianni. Liles was viable around 1995 though when they were both titlists at 168.

Benn and Eubank were bad timing, he maybe would've fought McClellan had he beaten Benn and kept winning. I think there were about 2 guys he didn't really want to fight, Frankie Liles and Michael Nunn, 2 lanky southpaws.

The dates dont add up for Mcclellan. Jones and McClellan were both mw at the same time, he didnt make a permanent move up until he fought Toney in 94. McClellan was gunning for Jones on the assumption he got past Benn.
