If Roy Jones had fought Nigel Benn and Eubank in 1994 -95?

I think it is impossible to gauge Jones' chin in his early years because his athletic ability allowed him to avoid all the shots he's taking now.

then Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank would have an extra loss on their records

I know there are 90 % roy jones fans on this site. but for those who dont know: Roy Jones ducked them european animals Eubank, Benn, Michalcezwski and Collins for a reason: he knew he probably wouldnt beat them. and thats A FACT. prime roy only fought pple he knew he would beat 100 %. and he sure as hell knew there is only maybe 50 % chance to beat those guys.

Trying to rewrite history are we?

steve collins was a bum

RJJ is the far more hyped (and roided) up fighter due to the massive following he garnered in the US, it's like those who argue Mike Tyson could beat every heavyweight, the media and promotion are powerful. They had their weaknesses and holes in their resumes too.

Just to throw into the discussion Michael Watson who stopped Benn and was winning by several rounds in his second fight with Eubank after a controversial decision in the first fight - arguably the best pure boxer of the three.

Except for the fact that Tyson held the Lineal title for 2 years while Roy was a champion for 10, and that Roy completely dominated 2 future Hall of famers and several champions.

Holes in resume? Let's put it like this, the fighters that Roy DID beat were WAY better than any that he didn't. The only similarity is the media hype, which it seems has successfully distracted you from the issue of substantive accomplishment.

thats such a stupid thing to say. only a stupid fanboy of american boxers can say something like that. Michalczewski is WAY higher than james toney on the ATG lists. Toney actually lost tons of fights unlike Benn, Eubank and Michalczewski. Toney can be glad if he gets mentioned alongside those other 3 names. And Michalczewski's legacy SH'TS all over James Toney's legacy.
