A New Look at an Old Question DM v. RJJ

[Neuraxis]

linear champ, what planet are you from? rjj was the light heavy king dude, seriously, he would have beat the **** out of dm, all the euro fighters fight bums in their home towns, they all do that, Calzaghe is ****ing trash so is hatton and dm and the rest of them who rack up 35-0 records against bums, lets see them do that in the states

Calzaghe may be trash, but Hatton and DM clearly are not. The fact that DM was the linear champ is not debateable. Virgil Hill was the linear champ. DM beat him and won the WBA and IBF belts as well as the linear champ status.

rjj kayoed hill in the fourth with a body shot, so what does that tell you?

I agree, Euro fighters do suck...If you look at any of the all time greats in alot of different divisions...not alot of them were European.

That he was a DM leftover. DM finished off Hall, Harmon, and Griffin (not counting RJJ second try) faster than RJJ could.

Tiger Dariusz Michalczewski Roy Jones Jr

- didnt fight since 1997-2005 why ?? Jones - scary Tiger !!
Tiger KO Jones - Hamburg or USA doesnt matter where - the ring is the same

Hill went on to win a title at cruiser weight after jones defeated him. In their primes, jones would have destroyed dariusz, who is MUCH slower than jones. See jones vs. sosa, bryant, paz, etc. and you'll understand that swarming a prime jones is suicide. If you compare their careers, jones' accomplishments are far ahead of dariusz's's's's. Dariusz was not a true world champion. To be a true world champion, you have to fight in the united states (where virtually all of the top fighters fight)

[Bozo_no no]

Darius received back to back beatings from Richard Hall, where he was saved by the referee.


Darius wouldn't have stood a chance agaisnt 1997-2003 Roy Jones, and he knew that.

The only time I know of that he came to the US was to sit ringside at Jones vs Hill.

After that he never came back.

Go figure.

They were both too scared to leave their backyards.
