why does Roy Jones get a pass for ducking all the fighters that he did?

[Dynamite Kid]

You know I have made an exhaustive list of fights he did not make while campaigning at SMW. There's plenty of fighters Jones didn't fight.

He did fight Vinny Paz though.

You **** bats, this knife belong to you?

[BattlingNelson]

Agreed though Dariusz M at 175 is the major name missing for me.

So true. That fight should have happened, but for various reasons did not.

[BattlingNelson]

Even if he had fought these people he supposedly ducked there would have only been 1 outcome. Prime Roy was a beast.

Possible. Fantasy fights doesn't count when gauging legacy though.

[IMDAZED]

Every fighter has fights that didn't happen. But duck? Grow up. Jones' resume is pretty sick as it stands today.

Jones gets criticized plenty for not fighting Dariusz Michalczewski.

It's pretty funny that he lost his 0 to Julio Cesar Gonzalez. While Roy Jones took Gonzalez's 0 prime vs prime 1-2 years earlier.

There's a difference between making a list and the list actually having any truth to it. It's hard to discredit Jones when all he fought was top 10 guys in every division.

no but there were plenty of journalists who covered boxing and there were plenty who really ripped Jones back in the day for his opposition,I remember Michael katsz claiming that Jones was a disgace to his sport and a disgrace to his talent on a build up package to one of jones's fights(think it was against eric lucas)

Yes but Katz is a legitimate boxing journalist. He ripped him, but with facts. It seems now its just opinion based on who is more popular at the moment.

Proves nothing. Jones beat Hopkins who beat Glen Johnson yet what happened when Jones met Johnson?

jones didnt get a pass. he was heavily criticized for taking easy mandatory opponents instead of tougher, more deserving ones. i believe dougie fischer started the "roycott" in response to the cans roy wuz fighting
