Liles and Collins "ducked" Roy Jones

[SCtrojansbaby]

Sooo, Roy got a southpaw scare too? Weelll...looks like both greatest American fighters have it. Floyd and Roy. Americans are such wimps...

from 1998-2001 7 out of Roy's 8 opponents were southpaws

Name them. How many of them were first class?

I don't agree with the 'why would he duck them when he would easily beat them?' stuff. That's a silly way of looking at any situation.

However, John Scully is a friend of both Collins and Jones and says that Collins was offered the fight but wanted more money. He has an account here so people can always PM him for more details if they're really interested.

John Scully

If Jones had ducked anybody at 168 pounds it was Frank
Liles. Fabulous Frank was a huge super middleweight
with solid wins over a still useful Merqui Sosa, an
underrated Michael Nunn, and had avenged his only defeat
with an electrifying knockout over Tim Littles. If
Jones had wanted to avoid anybody at 168 pounds during
his tenure as IBF champ it would have been Liles, not
Calzaghe.
Trainer and former world title challenger John Scully
commented, ” If there was anyone in the game who I think
Roy maybe wasn't in so much of a big hurry to fight,
from what I have gathered over time, it would be Frankie
Liles and Michael Nunn. They were tall southpaws with
good range and difficult styles. Roy knew Frankie very
well from the amateurs and, as a matter of fact, Frankie
was the only guy who I ever saw give Roy a standing
eight count (at the 1988 U.S. Championships). Roy would
have fought him, I believe, but he wouldn't have been
first on his list.”

I was about to 'x' out of this thread thoroughly disgusted when I saw this response.

Take a look at this, Collins is there in the ring with Jones and is challenging him, calling him out but Jones pretends he doesn't see him and goes on with his narcissistic tirade. Man, the guy was such a prick sometimes!
