Thread: Tiger Dariusz Michalczewski Ko's

DM made 23 successful defenses of his WBO title (still holds the record for the most consecutive successful title defenses at light heavyweight.) Michalczewski had a perfect record of 48 wins and no losses when he faced Julio César González of mexico aged 35. Coming into the fight, he was within one victory of tying Rocky Marciano's all-time record for an undefeated record by a world champion boxer! A win also would have put him just one victory short of Joe Louis' all-time record for successful defenses at any weight class! He lost a controversial split decision to the 27-year-old Gonzalez.




























The 175lb Kostya Tszyu! So underrated...

Really nice to see you back.

Dariuz was a good fighter but Roy would have beaten him. I remember Dariusz taking the bombs of a British fighter and stopping him. He made a comeback and got stopped I think.

Yup, that's why he was content on fighting in his comfort zone instead of coming to America to take on Roy who was the P4P king at the time..

I hear Euros questioning all the time why Roy couldnt travel to Dariuz' backyard.. WEll Roy didnt have to move for anybody cuz all roads led to him..

He was pretty good though..

Maybe. I personally think DM would have been RJ's toughest test. I can easily see a come from behind KO for DM or a Jones decision. It's all speculation though and does not demean DM. Regardless of the fight that never happened both are still legends.

And ya he did come back aged about 37 after a 2 year absence and lost to Tiozzo by Tko. No shame in that though Tiozzo was a good fighter he beat Mcallum, Branco and Eric lucas. Tiozzo would not have beaten prime DM. He lost to Virgill Hill twice. DM beat him one handed.

Cheers.

What I remember of Michalczewski ,he was very easy to hit Nicky Piper pushed him he was a decent
fighter.

All due respect but DM dominated Piper and stopped him with ease in 7! Scores up until the stoppage were 61-69 | 62-68 |61-69 for DM.

Piper did however PUSH Nigel Benn hard. Scores were 96-95 | 93-98 |94-96. Piper stopped in 11.

Why?

He never knocked out anyone and his fights went to points.

I was impressed with Michalczewski stopping Mark Prince who had amazing power and he just took the punches as if they were nothing.

He's a good guy Prince. His son Kiyan was fatally stabbed outside his school in North London. Which prompted him to create the Kiyan Prince Foundation. Outspoken figure on gun and knife crime.



I was more impressed with his one sided stoppages over Drake Thadzi and Montell Griffin who had both defeated James Toney. Very underrated fighter DM.

Wasn't a KO artist no. Talented fighter though. Ask Iran Barkley and Rocchigiani.

Interesting factoid: Maske owns nine McDonalds franchises in Germany. LOL.
