Did Roy Jones Jr Duck Nigel Benn?

[Chuckguy]

Um.........no not really as Im a fan of Roy Jones. I go on record as saying he's the most talented fighter ive seen in my lifetime.

But his level of competition sometimes left a lot to be desired.

Theres an article where it states Jones was offered the Benn fight but chose to go down to middleweight and fight Hopkins. I'll try to find it, not that it will change your mind.

Cos whatever Roy says is irrefutable.

I give you props for stating that however you cant deny that RJJ is hands down going to be more remembered and considered a way better fighter than JOe C even if Joe wins the fight. He can e 60-0 and people will still consider RJJ a better fighter. It just happens to be that way bro
His competition was good its just that RJJ was that much better

You actually think Hopkins who hadnt won a title or had a significant fight in his career was the best Middleweight in the world when Jones fought him?

You're a lost cause.

I let "IMDAZED" answer for me on that one. See my point yet? Will you admit you are wrong if Jones beats Calzaghe? Would you agree that Joe is the best possible fighter from Europe that Jones will have or could have ever faced? I think you agree. And if you do, lets bet.

I bet that Jones beats Joe for your respect and for you to call me correct on this Jones issue. If you win, then I'll admit you have a point and agree to show mutual respect. Agreed? I'm willing to sign it anytime. Man up.

Hopkins fought Mitchell at cruiser.

But carry on with your terrible analogies and wrong facts.

It was actually at Light Heavyweight.

But carry on embarrassing yourself and completely misinterpreting everything I say.

He was the lineal champ until Jones wiped the ring with all the other beltholders who would dare fight him. Why not come here and fight Jones? He was considered the best as soon as he moved up to the weight and brought the most money. Check history , son.

If you pick Jones over DM, why even argue? You are a ***in twat. Simple as that.

Do you ever wonder why other posters come on here and side with me over you? Does it ever even cross your mind that you're an idiot and I am right? Seems like others think that way. You gotta wonder at some point, too.

Um........being lineal champ means you're the man who beat the man who beat the man. You dont become lineal champ by beating other beltholders.

Who said Dariusz was unwilling to fight in America? There are several sources which indicate he was. Yet this is the usual cop out for Jones fanboys when you present the list of world class opposition he didnt fight.

In fact, it was Jones himself who did an interview with German TV saying that he would only fight Dariusz for $10m. Check your history, SON.

If I pick Jones over him then why argue? I picked Cotto over Margarito. So, I guess they shouldn't have fought? Picks aren't 100% certainties. Roy Jones' career is a crime sheet of opinions, hypotheticals and "woulda shoulda couldas". Which is a shame considering his undoubted talent.

I dont care about how many people side with me. This isnt a playground.

What does any of this have to do with Joe Calzaghe? Please stay on topic.

IMDAZED didnt answer anything. He didnt even give an opinion on whether Hopkins was the best Middleweight at the time. Im still waiting for you to tell me why a guy who hadnt won a title or even had a significant fight was the best Middleweight in the world.

I dont understand why we're talking about Calzaghe now. If Jones beats Calzaghe, what am I supposed to admit Im wrong about apart from my pick?

I dont see how the fight with Calzaghe has any baring on what we're discussing here.

So?

Try to make a valid point or response to what I was saying or just run along.

Wow, talk about a ****ing technicality...

2 pounds above the LHW limit is technically Cruiser, but it's still 23 pounds lighter than the cruiser limit... which one is it really IMDAZED?

Exactly. He tries to look clever by arguing over the most pathetic and pedantic little points which have little to do with the general point you're trying to make. He once tried to argue over the word "popular" with me.

A pathetic little twat he is.
