    Lucas was coming off a win and went unbeaten for 3 years after Jones. There was no "rough stretch".

      it was also announced how the competition ran out on jones, not the other way around

      you could very well just start a thread about each of these guys and show how they ducked jones
      Be my guest. Jones was the draw and he could choose his opponents. It wasn't the other way around.

        yes, he didn't fight them and maybe those fights should have happened, but he didn't duck.

          Having 2 losses in title fights in the year prior to facing Jones is a rough stretch and doesn't seem a like a great qualification to face the worlds p4p no. 1 fighter does it?

              yeah you're right, jones should have sent some goons over to some of those guys and threatened to rough them up if they didn't sign the contract to fight him. lol.

              What more is jones suppose to do other than offer them a fight? he offered, they turned him down. what more is he suppose to do really?

                Eubank said Roy Jones Jr was the one who was not interested.

                calzaghe said if the money was right he was willing to risk it.

                  Is it pointing towards me or his own temple (as he tries to simulate Jones going down from Greens bomb)?

                    Did he offer more than a 90/10 split?

                      During that time period Eubank had also lost two title fights. Double standard isn't it?
