    Michalczewski-Jones was the no-brain fight of the era and the only fight which should have happened. To suggest that Jones ducked “insert fighter” is revisionist bull**** (and it’s the same for another fighter fighting in New York this weekend).

      Steve Collins wanted him in the ring it never happened but Collins said he prob wouldn't have won to the best P4P but RJJ would know he was in a fight some of the names on his CV says enough P4P the best.

          Toney and Hopkins were favourite over Jones in their respective fights, correct??

            Hopkins no. Toney it was close I think and James might have been a slight favourite. Jones was definately expected to beat Bernard though.

              i mean Hopkins was 27, had more pro fights and was ranked #1 by the IBF for middleweights. But he was no good!! Two years later he became middleweight champ defeating Mercado for the belt. Roy was 24, with less pro fights, but a better amateur background. If Hopkins was such a loser when Hopkins fought him how come all the broadcasters were saying hopkins is the best opponent Roy has fought?

              Its Roy's fault that on the eve of his biggest fight James Toney didn't train properly and balooned up to a heavyweight. Honestly I wouldn't be suprised if Toney was always weight drained....especially at the lighter weight classes. I heard James use to hide pizza boxes under his bed. Toney was #1 p4p when roy beat him.

              Both are very good wins.

                Toney was the favorite going into the Jones fight, he had just put in a very good performance against Prince Charles Williams the fight before, what I don't get about Toney is why did he gain so much weight in between the Williams and Jones fight? I mean Toney already knew he had to fight Jones in 3 months before the Williams fight, and yet he still ballooned up to reportedly 200 pounds, very ******.

                    Now We Question RJJ's Compitetion? well i guess if calz sucks we have to question Roy's too

                    Toney
                    Tarver
                    Hopkins(who lost a highly disputed SD to Calz and He was 43)
                    Montell Griffith

                    So those fighters arent as good as

                    Kessler
                    Bika
                    a 43-year old hopkins
                    Lacey?

                    He did step up and won, he moved up in weight to HW And Beat Ruiz for a middle weight its a tough feat.

                    Roy Wins this c'mon now its as plain as the election
