I dont blame RJJ/hopkins/toney for ducking JC, far better paydays for an easier nights work back then
Did you mean? I dont blame JC for ducking ,RJJ/hopkins/toney far better paydays for an easier nights work back then...
Roy's the only one that fought all of them, two in his younger/prime days....
In fairness they are all to blame, RJJ,Hopkins and Toney wouldn't go to the UK and Joe wouldn't go to the States, can't blame one more than the other, none of them were keen to take the risk. Roy may have fought Hop and Toney but he was having none of DM and vice versa... just a shame we missed out on a few great prime fights
No no, DM sat ringside and watched Roy stop virgil hill with the body shot. So he was willing to travel but after he saw RJJ up close in action he hauled ass and never returned...
P.S. no one even comes close to thinking that DM stood a chance against RJJ so what does it matter that he didnt fight him....
