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

    I take it that you didnt see the list. It's quite an impressive array of top fighters not being on Jones resumé. Toney is there, but little else at 168.

      We've seen the list but what does it matter if those other guys weren't interested? And that list isn't as impressive as Jones' resume.

        DM's career was all but over there. Look it's highly probable that Jones would have won against DM, but all we are left with is what-ifs since the fight didnt happen.

          The class of fighters Jones did not fight at 168 >>>>>> those he fought.

                Yes, at 168. But he did beat the best fighter there. The only other great in the division. Furthermore, the TS is implying these fighters were "ducked", which is silly.

                  Kinda strange how none of those fighters at 168 stepped in the ring against Toney, the most feared man in boxing at the time. Guess it was a "duck."
