    Would Dariusz Michalczewsi have lasted the distance against Roy Jones?

    I think Roy should have fought him for legacy purposes.

    But at the end of the day do you think Michalczewski would have lasted until the final bell against the 175 lbs version of Roy?

    I remember Roy haters said he’d be a prob but that’s a giant F U C K NO! Roy would’ve absolutely Punked Darius.

    A come forward guy at that time was food for Roy.

      Roy beats him on points. On paper Michalczewsi was his biggest threat but unfortunately that fight never happened.

        Roy stated in hid interview with journalist Martin T Roll that Dariusz Michalczewsi was the best and he was the second best. I loved the honesty from Roy. He admitted to running from the main man. Wise move.

          I wish the fight would’ve happened and I think both parties are responsible for it not materialising. This matchup had Roy via UD written all over it. The speed and accuracy would have been too much of an obstacle for Dariusz to overcome.

            Michael was a paper champ who fought overseas cab drivers. Roy would have toyed with him.

              Wide decision for Roy

                Do you have a link to that interview?

                  I think Jones would have beat him on points. But Michalczewski was unquestionably the #2 LHW at that time after he beat Virgil Hill and would have been a real test. Its a shame he and Roy never fought.

                    No way. Michalczewski beat Virgil Hill before Jones did. And Roy fought more than a few cab drivers himself.
