How good was Dariusz Michalczewski?

[Jim Jeffries]

Sven Ottke of 175? :P

Well he knocked out 20 of his 23 successful title defences, so off hand I'd say no.

Most people RJJ beat were also beaten by Michalczewski but they never got to fight each other, probably because Roy didn't want to go to Germany and Michalczewski didn't want to come to the US.

DM flew to the States and was ringside at Jones/Hill lobbying the prospect Jones fight. Right afterwards he went silently, got on the plane and went back home to never once mention the Name "Jones" ever again.

Dariusz fought everyone at LHW but he was only allowed to fight in Germany because of his management.

I wouldn't call him a coward, I'm sure he would've fought Roy if Jones agreed to fight in Germany.

Of course that would never happen because Roy was the draw but Michalczewski fought Hill, Rocchigiani, Hall, Thadzi and Griffin and decisively beat them all, without any bull**** decisions.

and fighting in Germany couldve led to him getting screwed like Miranda did in Germany. I think after Korea, Roy realized it was best to never fight over seas again because what they can do to you.

I bet Felix Sturm feels the same way about America.

So it's true, then...

[TheFairPole]

Yeah, Roy made it clear that he would never fight over there and that is why the fight never happened. They both wanted the fight but it just couldn't be made. Maybe they can fight now since they are both still fighting. It would be better late then never...

[SkillspayBills]

The one enormous blemish of both those fighters are the fact they never fought, it would have been HUGE. Dariusz had a damn good jab but he wasn't messing with a prime RJJ, that's for sure.

[Fox McCloud]

Good point.

Still though, I do find it concerning that most of the Euro countries give out 6 or 7 even rounds a fight, which allows them to make any round even, and then they can give the rounds that they want to the fighter that they are going to try to make win.

and there is a legitimate point, though i thought it was a close fight with Oscars body punching...my point was that Miranda had to deal with the ref, extra recovery time, and then the judges, i just have never seen anything as blatant as that.
