Brewster defends against Krasniqi in Germany! Sep 28

[Nautilus]

Wow, what a concept: A heavyweight title holder who is willing to fight his mandatory challenger AND travel!

It is an economically sound decision in this case.

[GOAT]

Of course. It would have been an economically sound decision for Vivian Harris to go to England to fight Hatton or for Jones to go to Germany to face DM.

Yes. Harris was ****** for not taking the fight (look at him now), and so was Jones, I believe.

Jones said he would never fight out of the U.S. and when an offer was made to Jones to fight him he declined with that. Well Jones team came back later and offered DM an offer to fight in the U.S. at an equal fighting field with judges from other countries except each others and DM backed away and never made a comment on it.

That fight works both ways, neither fighter really had intentions on wanting to fight each other. If you **** on Jones than you have to **** on Dariusz than as well.

[GOAT]

If you **** on Jones than you have to **** on Dariusz than as well.

I totally agree. I **** on them both.

DM and Jones were both belt holders, right?

It should also be noted, Jones ****s on the WBO organization. Well did much so in the past dont know about now though.

pretty uneven, I guess

In a sense, but take away the IBA/IBO/WBF and whatever else Jones held the WBA/WBC/IBF the main three and had the rights to fight on his own turf. If Dariusz wanted the fight so bad he could have easily came to the U.S. but Jones never cared for him to begin with.

[GOAT]

pretty uneven, I guess

C'mon, let's be honest here. It wasn't THAT uneven.

After beating Virgil Hill, DM held:

WBA Light Heavyweight Title
WBO Light Heavyweight Title
IBF Light Heavyweight Title

He was stripped by the WBA and IBF as a penalty for displaying the WBO belt alongside the others. He never lost those titles in the ring. Jones picked up those titles by beating the B level fighters who picked up the vacant titles after the WBA and IBF shamelessly stripped DM.

MOST IMPORTANTLY,

DM held the LINEAL light-heavyweight title, which Jones never held. He was recognized as the real champ by many if not most observers.
