Did Roy jones duck darius?

They both ducked each other,,, it was manny-floyd, before manny-floyd

dariusz didnt want to leave germany,, roy wasnt too keen on the matchup and never really tried to make it happen, and even asked HBO to stop talking about him after Dariusz won the HBO poll of who would you want to see roy fight next...

He was a german based fighter in the 90s that won the lineal lhw title by beating up virgil hill, and won a few other belts but would get stripped of them,, Big puncher, kinda slow,, but really good fighter for the most part,,,

Dariusz was seen as the #1 lhw, but then roy bumped up to 175, and fought mccallum for a vacant belt, and fought virgil hill like 2 years after dariusz beat him, and then fought all the other champs but Dariusz

By 2000-01 this was one of the biggest fights to be made in all of boxing, but dariusz wasnt leaving germany and roy wasnt trying to call him out on it,,,
HBO hype machine made everyone believe that roy was the top lhw even though he never fought Dariusz..
HBO had a poll around 2001 for who the fans wanted roy to fight and Dariusz was the clear winner with like 75% of the votes.. roy asked HBO to not talk about Dariusz according to the head of HBO sports at the time

[Sugar Adam Ali]

What was his record?

For most of his career he was undefeated, made 25 title defenses, and ended up losing to Gonzalez around 2003, and lost one more time in his last fight, vs a big name but cant exactly remember who

At his peak he was like 40-0 with 25 title defenses.. a bunch of ko wins
