Benn: "Jones dodged me", Eubank: "Roy avoided my calls", Collins: "Roy ran scared!",

Good thread.
Nigel would have tested the Jones Jnr chin like nobody else could or would.

Steve Collins is a Legend in Ireland anytime his name comes up its about RJJ never fought him he went 10000 miles challenged RJJ said he'd fight him with 2 men a dog watching & still RJJ wouldn't whether Collins would have won is a different story.

Collins priced himself out of a fight with Jones. Next.

I'm out of here all i will say is Nigel Benn ducked no 1 always came to fight as for Collins have a look at his record.
I'm a fan of RJJ just giving an opinion.

Never said that Benn did. By the time a Benn Jones fight was in the works Benn had lost to Thulani Sugar Boy.

Sugar BOY also beat Eubank but didn't get the D i think if any fighter RJJ should have feared was the great Michael Watson.

Q: You never did get it on with Roy, why was that? Who was ducking who Nigel?
NB: It's not for me to say. But I'll tell you this - Jones had a choice, his choice was to fight the champion Nigel Benn in a barn-burner or the contender Bernard Hopkins in a snooze-fest. He chose Bernard Hopkins. Jones can't deny that because it's what happened. He won one of the WBC International belts at super middle at the same time that I was the main WBC super middle belt holder, when Chris Eubank had one of those WBC International belts he landed a fight with me shortly after. Okay, Jones had been the mandatory for the IBF middle but he was also offered the chance to fight me for my main WBC belt at his new weight and I was up for it. I was right up for it. I saw some of his fights and rubbed my hands together because I knew it could be a right old tear-up. But why would Jones drop back down to middle to fight for a lesser title? I don't know, only he can answer that.

Here's how Benn said he'd fight Roy Jones in 1996: "I'd have no choice but to throw absolutely everything at him for three of four rounds and hope for the best. I'm not the fighter I used to be so I'm not going out of my way to make a fight with him. I went out of my way to make a fight with him in the past but he dodged me, plain and simple. I'm past my best now but still dangerous enough to give Jones hell if he wants some."

Legendary thread and a poster.

I'll never fight Joe Calzaghe coz' he's too dangerous, he's fast, powerfull, hungry, and unbeaten. I can make easier money defending my belts against easier fighters

^that, he never said that
and 17 in kinder garden?.. nope, not everyone is as special as you
and how old are you? a 40 year old ****** still unable to get into college, still failing everything?
