    Michalczewski would be able to find Jones with his left jab I guarantee.. and any version of Jones. Michalczewski in his prime is way quicker than people think and that jab was lightning accurate and powerfull and DM also moved on his feet well, plus Michalczewski is always coming forward. Jones just has the wrong style for Michalczewski. Jones was a great fighter but Michalczewski's style is plain all wrong for him.
    And Michalczewski's straight left would be enough to stagger Jones is another thing I guaratee. DM always worked off that left Jab, he would connect with it, he had faster feet than you know, then he would go into combination power punching and KO Jones, no question.

      But I think, he could have been SOOOOO MUCH MORE! Had he not avoided the best in every division?

      So what will he be remembered as now?
      The guy who was a great talent but never was willing to take risks.

        Jones fought better competition then Michalczewski throughout his career, in the era when they were at their prime the more money would have been in the US so why didn't DM go there he was probably waitin for a screw job in Germany. ****** Golota fans watch Tyson and Golota before you speak that ***** just got up and left his stool ahahah that **** had me laughin and his trainer was tellin him "you cant do this" and Golota was like "yes i can that guy is hitting me in the face" what a joke and watchin him walkin back to the changing room with the crowd booin and him gettin covered in everybodys snacks, how could anyone support this guy and criticise Jones fans.

          DM vs. Tiozzo made a lot more money than Johnson vs. Tarver...

            Golota had legitimate reason to quit that fight and he never said anything in the way of "that guy is hitting me in the face." That punch he took from Tyson in the first round fractured a vertebre in his neck. The punch was so hard it did bone damage but Golota got up from it in total coherency.

            Even as Golota was walking off getting bood Tyson said to his corner guys "I hurt him." Golota quit because he was injured.

            If Golota would have continued in that fight he would have suffered permanent neck damage and probably be walking around in a neck brace right now rather than preparing to fight for the WBO championship.

              Yea he should have a tough time against Lamon Brewster someone who managed to get a split decision off Kali Meehan in his last fight, who was destroyed by Danny Williams in one round. Andrew Golota even lost to Michael Grant who i would give a chance against even in his present state

                  Girrin wasnt knocked down by a illegal punch jones hurt griffin. Then went to follow up i am watching the fight right now. And grifin took a knee but before the knee jones landed Then jones ( on purpose Hit griffin once he was already down). Now lets not for the the shoulder bump then left hook that griffin cheap shoted with. Griffin gave jones problems but Jones was on his way to knocking him out i dont give a care what u haters think. I know the facts. i a prime roy jones jr was fast. he would of picked DM apart with his Hand speed pop shoting from the outside. And you act like the rematch doesnt matter. this is pathic, If jones would have beat tarver via ko. All these people would be down talking tarver like he was some bum. People say he avoided bernard hopkins thats why roy told merchant he would go down to 168 and fight tito and bernard. DM THIS dm was garbage prime vs pime lights out dm. i dont even know why i post at such a noob forum witm thick headed people. Matter of fact forget this forum private is the way to post about boxing.

                  Also guys dont forget the person who is hating has Griffin in his avatar that says a hole lot. When u post about a fighters skills/talent u must look at it from a professional view not a hater or a nuthugger.

                      Yea that is true about Neuraxis i think he just has a grudge against Jones, maybe he should be angry with Wlad's chin or the fact that his homeboys dress up as cartons of orange juice when its time for an election.
