    A mandatory is required to accept 25% of the purse. Are you stating that Jones wanted Nunn to take less? That's false. Sorry bud.

      Yes. Don't underestimate Roy's arrogance. Why do you think this fight didn't happen? Nunn sure as hell wanted it. Offer some evidence instead of denials.

        Offer some evidence against something you made up? I think you have it backwards, friend.

          What did Jones offer Nunn?

          I saw a link on here where Nunn said they offered him 125k to Roy's 3 million but I don't know if it's true.

          That's certainly not 25% obviously.

          Discuss the history of the sport and the boxers that made the sport.



          I don't know what's really true tbh.

              That's a pretty sweet article on Nunn, I think I've read it before a while back. Nunn really was a special fighter. But the idea that he was ducked by Jones at LHW is a stretch. Nunn had a nice comeback run at 175 before he lost to Rochigianni. I can think of a couple people Jones avoided, Vasily Jirov and Antonio Tarver. The Nunn who had lost a couple steps wasn't one of them.

                That was just a joke. It's fights like the Frazier one that turned hardcore fans off to Jones. Of course, those same people called for him to fight a Michalzewski who spent his time fighting Jones leftovers and guys like Nicky Piper.

                  Maybe Nunn was lying but was their any serious effort at negotiations on either side?

                  That's what I can't find.

                  He fought Montell and Virgil Hill in around that era and they both were very good, just don't know how it all went down.

                    The other side probably doesn't realize there are a horde of kids on the net who think Jones ever ducked Nunn, jreck. Just a thought. Michael Nunn fought Graciano Rochigianni for the title and lost. Rochigianni was then wrongly stripped of that belt. In turn, Jones offered Rochigianni a fight which he pulled out of for "personal reasons." End of story.
