    Yeah, because that makes for an interesting exchange of viewpoints.

        If Jones ducked anyone it was Nigel Benn. Also Dariuz Michaleiski has a case. The IBF and WBA ****ed him over bigtime. Besides that Roy made offers to everyone that people claimed he ducked like Steve Collins.

            Roy outright refused to fight Michael Nunn, who was his mandatory contender. The WBC let him get away with it, and that caused them to almost go out of business.

                I'd say he cherry picked some, maybe a lot. But close to 90%? That's just ******ed.

                    Michelscewski (or however you spell his ****in name) also has a case for the fact that he ducked Jones. It goes both ways. Don't hold Roy up to standards that you're unwilling to hold his contemporaries up to as well.

                            I actually meant to say Michael Nunn, lol. I always mix up him and Nigel Benn for some reason.

                                    He should of fought Nunn, when he had the chance, it would of been a great fight and a great name to have on his resume. He could of fought Jirov as well who back then was a great fighter also, but Jones shot that fight down preferring to fight Woods instead.

                                    Jones has had a successful career no doubt, but it should of been exceptional not "merely" successful.

                                        He should have fought Nigel Benn though when Benn was calling him out
