Did Roy Jones Jr blatantly duck / avoid Dariusz Michaelczewski? Why?

[robertzimmerman]

Let me say that you can easily make a list of better opponents out of the people Jones didn't fight as a SMW champion, than the ones he actually fought.

It's been done to death.

I've given you specific reasons why the fights didn't happen.

I've been through every fighter you listed.


You can do that with any fighter's resume.

Let's look at Dariusz.

Guys who he didn't fight:

McCallum
Nunn
Reggie
Toney
Roy
Woods
Harding
Johnson
Calzaghe
Tarver
Erdei
Del Valle


Now maybe none of those were viable. But it's still a long list, and that's exactly what you've done regarding Roy.

Again, you can do that for any fighter. And the reason that Roy's list of missed fighters is bigger, is because he obviously fought in multiple weight classes.
