    Sure man. German stars Schulz and Sturm sure got a fair shake when they crossed the Atlantic.

      Dariusz should have gone to the US. Jones was the bigger star. But I don't for one minute believe he was offered $5m to do so. Jones wasn't THAT big a star.

              Yeah, people who act like Roy was the true champion just because he picked up a bunch of vacated titles.

                  Great fight on paper for the time but the finances and where they were going to fight could never be ironed out

                      Those trinkets wasn't even vacated. They where disgracefully stripped off of DM in the most hideous of manners.
