Has Roy Jones ever faced a puncher before?

[Dirk Diggler UK]

I don't think he's ever avoided anyone. It was just timing and money. I mean how can someone actually know that they don't have a chin. He probably always thought he was unknockoutable or whatever the song is.

Maybe he just wasnt too eager to find out.

[jayblack]

He faced atleast three

[JONESJR22]

He faced a few, I wouldnt say he straight avoided some fighters.

Roy has fought in the same division as as: Jackson, McClellan, Benn, Liles, Darius M, Vitali K and Lennox Lewis and never fought any of them. Do you think he avoided them or it was just boxing politics/timing or something like that?

he didn't avoid any of them except for maybe the heavyweights but you can't really blame him. the non-hw big punchers on that list would have gotten schooled by jones... and they are the ones who avoided him, some of them even admitted it.

Which boxers are you talking about?

[Calilloyd]

Im talking about heavy handed guys, who could get you out of there with one punch like Benn and Jackson could

Toney could get you out with one punch at that weight. Did you ever watch his fights with Nunn, Prince Charles Williams, or Tim Littles? Or even his cruiserweight fight with Jirov? He certainly punched harder than Eubanks or Liles that you listed. And critisizing Jones for not fighting the Klitschko's or Lewis is just ******.

I think timing had a lot to do with it, when he got to 168 all the british fighters were fighting each other, Benn, Eubank, Collins and Thompson. That is where the real challenges were. After a fight in the interview they had informed him that Eubank had lost and you can see the dissapointment in his face cause a big financial fight was lost.

Steve Collins went and beat Eubank and Benn twice a piece. Sosa had good fights(with KO's) and one of his fights had a double KO cause the ref ruled it to brutal to continue. Talesco has always been a heavy puncher and Castro on that time was alos a puncher. Toney when they fought had one punch KO in that era.

But they were no KO artist but McClellan and we know his story in why these two never met in the ring

Where did I critisize him?

Didnt Jones start the negotitations for a Lewis fight as well?

Any more information about this?

jeff lacy was a shot puncher.. but a puncher style fighter non the less.. trinidad also.. but shot. nd if he did fight any punchers they werent any that stood out. danny green was one but i heard he hand wrapped wrongly so im not so sure if that ko shouldve counted. james "lights out" toney. it was his nickname for a reason
