    Style-wise, Eubank would have been a tougher challenge.

          Steven Collins called out Roy 4 times. Everyone know this



          Here is Chris Eubank and Roy Jones

          ENN

          Q: You never did get it on with Roy, why was that? Who was ducking who Nigel?
          NB: It's not for me to say. But I'll tell you this - Jones had a choice, his choice was to fight the champion Nigel Benn in a barn-burner or the contender Bernard Hopkins in a snooze-fest. He chose Bernard Hopkins. Jones can't deny that because it's what happened. He won one of the WBC International belts at super middle at the same time that I was the main WBC super middle belt holder, when Chris Eubank had one of those WBC International belts he landed a fight with me shortly after. Okay, Jones had been the mandatory for the IBF middle but he was also offered the chance to fight me for my main WBC belt at his new weight and I was up for it. I was right up for it. I saw some of his fights and rubbed my hands together because I knew it could be a right old tear-up. But why would Jones drop back down to middle to fight for a lesser title? I don't know, only he can answer that.

          Here's how Benn said he'd fight Roy Jones in 1996: "I'd have no choice but to throw absolutely everything at him for three of four rounds and hope for the best. I'm not the fighter I used to be so I'm not going out of my way to make a fight with him. I went out of my way to make a fight with him in the past but he dodged me, plain and simple. I'm past my best now but still dangerous enough to give Jones hell if he wants some."

          EUBANK

          Chris Eubank: People always ask me why I never fought Roy Jones. I wanted to fight Roy Jones in his backyard and even told HBO that I'd publicly bet $1,000,000 on knocking him out in the 1st-round. When I rang Roy Jones, he hung up on me every time. He wouldn't fight me he didn't want to take risks you see. I can say this about a fight with Roy Jones,


          People think that I would of made a fight with him become boring and louzy, I would not have done. If you hold back against that guy, he will hurt you and stun you before you have the chance to throw your best shots at him and by then it's too late because they won't be your best shots, you will be hurt and stunned already. If you give him the chance to view and the time to get set, he will land first because his quickness and timing is that good. That's why I would of made it an all-out war with him, so that I'd have more chance of throwing my best shots at him and so there would be less chance of him landing his best shots on me. You don't want to make life easy for him, I would of stood as good a chance as anybody of beating him. Roy Jones would of came out of the fight in bad shape, but I would of came out worse off!








          Julian Jackson
          "Contract offers were send to Roy 3-4 times during our MW Run together. I felt that at 160 I had a serious shot against Roy because one punch can always end the fight at 160 for me'




          Dariusz Michalczewski who was the actually Linear and Ring Magazine Championfrom 1997-2003. All those belts Jones at Lt Heavy were paper belts that were stripped from Rochigiani and Michalczewski.

            I see. So Jones ducked Eubank because Eubank said so.

            And when exactly did Julian Jackson have a "MW run" with Jones? When he got KO two weeks before Roy Jones fought for his first title?

            And Michalchewski? You didn't even give a reason.

              I'm getting to that.
              _Rumsfield-


              When Jones made the jump to 175 pounds in November 1996 to challenge WBC champion Mike McCallum, Michalczewski had already been a champion in that division for over two years. Michalczewsi decisively beat Virgil Hill June 1997, successfully unifying the WBA, WBO, and IBF belts, clearly marking him as the division’s top dog. Two months later, when Jones avenged his disqualification loss against Montell Griffin, he emerged as the number one challenger. A showdown between the two best fighters in the light heavyweight division seemed inevitable, but for whatever reason the fight never occurred.

              After beating Hill, Michalczewski was inexplicably stripped of his WBA title because he was WBO champion. Not long after that, he would drop the IBF belt for requiring him to fight William Guthrie a mere 30 days after he had won the title from Hill, which was an extremely unreasonable demand from the sanctioning organization. The fact remains, Michalczewski never lost these belts inside the ring and he was the rightful light heavyweight champion during Jones’ entire reign.

                Ok let's start with Dariusz.

                How did Jones duck him? Because nothing you wrote here says that.

                  Once again like Rumsfield pointed out.. Daruiz never lost the belt. Jones was not even the legit champ.. they STRIPPED Daruiz like they did Martinez to give the belt to Chavez Jr

                  Jones didn't want to go to Germany? Why the *** not. The offers were more than any he could have made in the States. Daruiz offered to come to America for a 40-60 split.

                  Why the hell was 40-60 not fair? Daruiz isn't even worth 40%?

                  Jones's camp supposely wanted a 20-80 split. That's a insult to a champion liked Daruiz.

                    I mean Roy is famous for not wanting to take on fights.
