      Dariusz's people were German promoters hence they offered the fight to Roy in Germany. Its up to Roy's people to make them an offer to fight in America. Ive never heard of the existence of one.
      There was an offer on the table for Mick but he didn't want to fight in America.

      Have you not read all the sources by now?

      Neither wanted to leave their country.

        And what does the amount of times Woods fighting in America have to do with anything? He wouldn't have had any more of chance being born in America and having fought in America in beating Jones Jr.

        Ask Woods what he thinks.
        Where did I ever say Roy had to go anywhere?

        Calzaghe said he'd fight Jones in America. Jones didnt even acknowledge Calzaghe's existence.

            Ask Frank Warren about that.

            Joe never made the move. Come to America, move to LH, and get the fight with Jones Jr. You aren't handed anything.

            Calzaghe was a no-name in America and never fought as a LH at that time so he wasn't ranked as a LH.

            Understand?

                When was this offer made? Roy said after the Glen Kelly fight that he was gonna go to HBO and demand a fight with "that German cat". But he ended up with Clinton Woods. Go figure.

                  Jones isnt in a position to avoid Calzaghe now. Calzaghe gave Jones the fight.
                  Even so, if Calzaghe was avoided while Jones was at his best. What makes you think he just all the sudden got un-scared and wants to fight him after his skills have diminished a little? Get real man, seriously.

                  About hangning on my words: So I assume you reply to everyones ,ever single post, including the ones that are not directed to you then? That's what I thought. It's just me because i fill that needy attention void you have.

                  .........you're welcome.

                    But Clinton Woods was a name. He was handed the fight pretty easily.

                    Im not saying Jones directly ducked Calzaghe like Hopkins did, I just think he convienently ignored him. There were more deserving challengers to Roy at the time such as Dariusz Mick

                      I never said Jones was scared. I think the risk/reward factor was too low for him to ever take a fight with Calzaghe.

                      Now hes fighting him, he gets a bumper payday and no one gives a **** if he loses.

                      I reply to any post I think warrants a reply. Its how things work on a forum. Cheers.
