After watching a prime Roy Jones on TV last night he was far from unbeatable.

I think Benn,Collins, Eubank would all have been great fight's but both parties really didn't want to travel. Another fighter that comes to mind is Dariusz Michalewski (I know I destroyed that name). These two could have met many of times but for simply money the fight was never made. I like Roy but I don't think he was invincible Super middleweight's he never fought the top dog's at lightheavy he didn't either.

RJJ beat the man that took Dariusz's 48-0 record, Julio Cesar Gonzalez.

Ive always thought Roy would muller Benn.

But fuck that.

After last night there's every chance Benn could have sparked him. Fact.

Agreed Nigel Benn was always dangerous even on his way to the canvas, like against Anthony Logan. If they fought 10 times im sure Nigel Benn could win atleast 2 times IMO. His punching power was unreal, what he did to iron chinned Doug DeWitt was shocking, he basically made him a shot fighter.

I clearly remember a post fight jones interview..one of his fights (post G-man v Benn) where he did "enough" and he said "i will only extend myself in a fight if neccesary"
That for me was and still is a blatant admission of unwilligness to mix it and go to war in the ring if he could avoid it and looking back it's clearly the case in a lot of his fights..
The G-Man tradgedy put the fear of god in him and STILL to this day he has not seen Gerald for fear of what it'll do to him mentally.
He also mentioned this in a recent interview
Once i heard him say that a long time ago i kinda lost some respect for him but fully understand where he's coming from.
Jones and Gerald were tight back in the day

He said something similiar after his dull fight with Fermin Chirino.The crowd was booing at the end and he got a bit flip...something along the lines of I don't fight for the fans or something.That was all I needed to here .And that was prior to the Tragedy.I think Benn/Mcclellan fight effected him quite a bit as well.
