        With ease??! No way. Yes, I agree that Jones in his prime could beat both, but would he have enough guts to face them? Obviously not.

          Mate with ease i reckon..Neither of them had the footspeed skills etc
          to keep up with that man in his prime..And it was his prime right when they were talking about meeting him wasnt it?

          Nigel Benn might have been a bit different that man was a warrior
          i would say jones would beat him still but he would put on a war before going down....

            I know. But you forget that Dariusz was the one who was unbeaten for the first 12 years of his career and had virtually unrivalled power and chin in the division in that time, along with the fact that he rightfully deserves to be called a LHW ATG.

              I didnt really rate him to much at the time cuz wasnt he another one that would'nt fight out of the comfort of his own home?

              I was young back then so my history is a bit shady on it all

              I remember Toney wanting both Eubank and Benn what went down with that?
              Thats another one that should of happened

                not really, he mostly just beat on roy jones left overs(with the exception of virgil hill, but we all saw what dariusz did and what jones did, and it was no contest)

                  Not another triangle theory! I say Roy could never hurt Dariusz seriously or have his way with him. He would be forced to dig down and he knew it, therefore he wasn't interested. He only wanted fights where he could look flashy.

                    who used a triangle theory? had'nt realised we were putting the two fighters against each other, here i thought i was just sharing my opinion on ''the tigers'' resume?

                    stay on subject, dariusz was never nothin special anyway, he was a shark in a pool with plankton and roy jones was a big ass mother****in blue whale

                    i bet tarver could beat dariusz

                    have you seen that dariusz fight with richard hall??
                    niether have i, but apperently dariusz was getting schooled till the fight was stopped on cuts or somethin
