lets set the record straight on RJJ, who the **** did he dodge ?

[mECHsLAVE]

Uh, no. It's not even remotely close to being that black and white. Roy did not want to fight in Germany, and rightfully so after his experiences and the history of boxing in Germany.

Uh, yes. That was merely an excuse. Dariusz never got a gift decision and they allowed the US fighters coming over to bring a US referee with them, along with a US judge.

There's about a million incidences of forgein fighters getting robbed RIGHT HERE in the US, dude. As a matter of fact, German Axel Schultz' outright robbery against Foreman was fresh in the mind of German-based boxers around that time, I'm sure. In fact, when Dariusz finally lost, it was a close, controversial split decision IN GERMANY that did not go his way.

Thanks for stopping in to the discussion. Next time bring a little more to the table, thanks!

oh by the way darius m was eubanks sparring partner for the ronnie essett fight, poor guy aparently took abit of a beatin as eubanks punch bag, he fought on the card too & was marked up & mcguigan said it was from eubanks at the gym

copied & pasted from another board-

You have to remember, Eubank, or Eubanks as his name was then, came to the U.K. as an unknown "pugilist" in January 1988 and told all the local Hove newspapers that he was the best boxer in the country having learned to fight in New York, and having won gym wars every night against top New Yorkers for years. He also claimed Nigel Benn was a fraud in the press, and really laid into him. This was a man who quoted shakespear with a lisp, dressed impeccably, acted as though he was from the silver spoon society and won five fights in the U.K. with absolute ease, all while calling out pretty boy Gary Stretch and, following Benn's showing against Logan, started calling out Benn too. Benn verbally abused Eubank at boxing functions and tried to start fights with him at every given opportunity until it all came to a head at the NEC some time later. Their bitter, famous rivalry continued all throughout the 1990's until they finally, amazingly became friendly with eachother backstage at the 1999 Brit Awards.

ok i give up Eubank was the best boxer ever. Eubank Benn was the most important fight ever world wide...happy? great wonderful

Nobody, but he didn't fight often enough. He was more than willing to find anybody if the money was right though...

Bull****. You got one example. I've seen the Sven Ottke, Dariusz vs Hall, and Luan Krasniqi FIASCOS. Don't bull**** me as if I don't know what I'm talking about.

Furthermore, it's not an excuse. Roy was ****d by foreign officials before, and it is QUITE understandable to anyone that with reason why Roy didn't want to fight Dariusz IN Germany.

u sad human being

stop screwing that hat on so tight you are in the minority on the subject

[Easy-E]

benn/eubank was probably thegreatest rivalry ever in boxin, i wos only a little kid at the time but i could tell wot a special rivalry they had, never in boxin has there been a rivalry between two guys who were as different as benn & eubank were or who had the same celeb status as they had, etc

as for this darius m guy, well if he was'nt willin 2 leave his germany & come 2 the uk to fight eubank or us to fight rjj then realy who cares ? eubank said he would never go back 2 germany becos of the racial chantin he had 2 put up with last time & rjj said he would never go 2 germany becos he risked gettin robbed like he did at the olympics

Ali-Fraizer is the biggest rivalry in boxing history.
