Though Roy Jones won a title at Heavyweight, he never won the championship. Lennox would have remembered.
Dariusz may never have been p4p champ, but he was good enough for Roy to forfeit the legitimacy of the position by way of fear factor.
Roy did get the raw end of the deal in the gold medal match in Korea, but hopefully the Val Barker cup was a suitable substitute as best of the best. In either case it does not excuse him from performing his duty as a professional. The location is a consideration, but probably not the senior one, as Jones was terrified of Dariusz. A slow moving Ruiz would not have beaten Roy had he weighed 300 pounds.
By the way, do any of you remember way back to the 84 Olympics, when the Korean's felt slighted by what they viewed as hometown decisions against their athletes. They said, after a fashion, the next time is on our turf. Wait until we get you over there.
They did it, too, didn't they?
