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.
