Did Roy Jones Jr Duck Nigel Benn?

["Smokin Sugar"]

Yep just like Donaire is ducking Mares!!

[Clark81]

Benn was overated, all he tried to do was find that big punch.

That's all he needs against Roy.

Let's be brutally honest here.

The guys Roy didn't fight all could have changed the fight with one punch.

Guys like Benn,Eubank,Mccellan, Jackson were all good boxers and all had different methods of landing that money maker punch.

Roy's chin was always suspect.. it's no concidence that the vast majority of guys he didn't fight were considered ruthless finishers/punchers.


Nunn was very underrated as well and might have given Roy a 5-7 type of battle.

Also cut the crap with his 'OH HE WENT UP TO HEAVYWEIGHT '

shyt.


John Ruiz vs a 200 Pound Roy

is NOT as dangerous as 160-168 Nigel Benn vs a 168 pound Roy.

John Ruiz vs a 200 Pound Roy

is NOT as dangerous as 160 Chris Eubank vs a 160 Pound Roy

[IMDAZED]

Look Ok.

**** DARUIZ.

You telling me that out of all these fighters?
Jackson
Mccellan
Benn
Eubank
Nunn(lethal fighter)
Collins

Not one wanted to fight Roy? Come on man.. everybody wanted to fight Roy.

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

Remember when HBO called him 'Reluctant Roy"

Ok so I guess you have no argument for Dariusz. Let's move on. Julian Jackson...how and when did he duck him?

Still waiting

Fun thread. Back when Dirk was a newbie to the sport and knew little other than what Steve Bunce said. Where is Bzripac or however you spell his name?

[Pretty Boy1]

[Madison Boxing]

roy jones > nigel benn > joe calzaghe > steve collins > chris eubank

Looking back at things now...
Joe Calzaghe would have schooled any version of Roy Jones Jr, Joe was just too slick and he didn't have a glass jaw.
