Was Roy Jones Jr lucky he never fought Michael Nunn ?

Nunn was lucky he never fought Roy Jones Jr.
Same with Benn, Eubank, Collins, and the rest of them.

Yall musta forgot!

Roy Jones Jr. was Superman. Speed Kills and Roy topped the most wanted list in the 90's.

I completely agree overall, but Eubank, Benn, and Collins were nowhere near the class of Michael nunn at his best, imo. You can't just completely write off and laugh hysterically at Nunn's chances like you can with Benn or Collins.

Roy Jones Jr is lucky that he never had to face Micheal Spinks. Because he would of knocked Roy Jones Jr out Micheal Spinks had great power at LHW and could end fights with a punch and he was akward as they come would of love to see that fight though.

Roy may not have been the greatest light heavy ever, but he unified the titles and grew into the weight. On the day he beat Montell and got the revenge, he certainly was a force that would have beat any Benn, Collins, Eubanks and Galzaghe.

Jones was lucky he was allowed to handpick his opponents, but theres another edge to this sword. In doing so he destroyed his own legacy. He could have been remembered as the greatest ever boxer but instead he's remembered more for who he avoided than who he beat

[Preme]

Can see how anyone could argue Eubank would of beaten him when Chris said he didn't want to fight roy for anything other than stupid money.

He knew he had little chance, with that mentality alone how could he win?

Eubank claimed that Jones would have beaten him, but he would have put up a tremendous fight.

He said had he been asked he would not have refused the fight.

Wow, I am glad half of you know nothing about Roy JOnes Jr. ... First of all none of those guys would fight him. WHen he was p4p king and before the Pazienza fight I believe he got HBO to try and get any fight made 60-40 against Eubanks, Benn, Hopkins, and a few others, or 70-30 against a few other guys people wanted to see him fight, and everybody turned it down. Nobody would fight Roy unless they got 50-50 which is basically saying they didn't want to fight him. You watch B-Hop negotiate with Roy he has always wanted 50-50, even when Roy was way more accomplished that is complete bs. Even Calzaghe wouldn't fight Roy in the states.

You guys can say Roy dodged guys all you want, but they didn't want to fight him.
