Truth is the MW division was in a transition at that time...guys on their way out...guys already in negotiations with other top fighters..Jones was also only there about 3 or so years legitimatly...even after he won the title he started fighting SMW and only dropped down for one defense...weight was hard to keep...which is why he did not stay at SMW all that long either....
I don't think anyone ducked anyone be it Roy or guys ducking him...all the big names at the time were tough guys who would fight anyone...just bad timing is all...
I still say this to this day and will more then likely until I die...
Take PBF, Ali, even Ray Robinson's skills at their absolute best and IMO the SMW version of Roy Jones may be the best fighter to ever grace the sport hands down...he was a phenom...He wasn't there long and he was not as good at MW or LHW though he was great all together but the SMW version was something else...
