did Jones avoid the best fighters and fight so cautiously cause

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Don't matter any way you look at it. DM was never a lineal champ @ LHW.

Who was then?

He was never even unified longer than a fight or two.

What does this even mean? Did he lose the titles he unified in the ring?

Hell, he never even fought outside of Germany/Europe and fought mostly cream-puffs.

Jones never fought outside America against mostly the same cream-puffs.

Jones was ranked higher and the money draw during his entire stay @ LHW. You go to the champ and the money maker. Dariusz did'nt come over therefore, he would be at more fault than Roy for the fight not happening.

Jones was the draw but the champ? No. You dont just get handed the title of champ. You have to beat the man. And Jones didnt do that. Dariusz didnt come over? Whats he supposed to do? Come over, stand in a ring and wait for Jones to come out. This isnt WWE

This was a ranking from the end of 1992, and there were allot of fights from then until the fight that happened in may,including the ones that B-hop and Jones both had that year before they fought and the one 2 weeks earlier between McClellan and Jackson.
.

Here are the 1993 rankings with Hopkins still down in 8th place.

Now tell me how or why Hopkins was able to move from 9th to 2nd in the space of a few months having not fought a single top 10 Middleweight in that time. The only one he did fight was Jones and he lost. How does he make that jump?

And then, how does he plummet all the way back down again below the same guys?

Give me a good reason.

You asked for evidence, I gave it. You havent provided one piece of evidence which says Hopkins was the best middleweight at that time except "cos he just was OK!!". You clearly werent watching boxing back then.
