Why did'nt Benn/Eubank ever chase RJJ fight?

[ICB]

Good point X well put and by the way for that last part that made me chuckle

[BIG H]

Big H i don't understand why you keep saying this you don't have to be born in era to know if you like someones boxing style or not i never personally liked Eubanks style and it doesn't matter if i would of been born in that era or whenever wouldn't change my opinion and it shouldn't make a difference when your born.

Calm down madam

It was the way you said 'I never liked Chris style' that I was talking about.

[ICB]

Im totally calm all i said was it doesn't matter when your born you either like a boxing style or you don't.

Missing my point m8 - wasn't a dig - it was about tenses i.e 'Like' and 'Liked'

....am I really explaining myself

anyone give any of them a chance with RJJ?

Benn at his best takes Jones - six rounds with Benn is too many rounds for Jones to escape

Eubank would have made Jones look silly for four or five rounds, but Jones would have out-hustled him


Jones and Collins would have been a gross mismatch

As much as i like Nigel Benn..Not a chance in the world..

Yes Nigel was an awesome puncher.. But at middle and supermiddleweight jones matched him..

Jones was the first to stop Sugar boy malinga, malinga had a great defence too..
Malinga lasted 12 with benn but was ko'd by jones.. That says something about roys power..

And i fail to see how benn catches up with roy in 15 rounds ..Let alone 6 or under

I dont regard nigel as having the greatest of chins anyway.. It wasnt bad..But he could be hurt..

Considering roy had an awesome defense..He would outbox Nigel and probably stop him late..

[Tito BHB]

BENN was semi chasing him after MCCLENNAN

EUBANK sat on his throne so he didnt go chasing anyone, however JONES JNR was chasing EUBANK


NIGEL has a slim punchers chance (very slim actualy), and EUBANK might scrape the first couple rounds but would lose the rest by being out worked once ROY measures him up, however EUBANK would make ROY look bad no question about that (who didnt CHRIS made look bad ?)

Benn turned the fight down after the mclellan fight.. I believe roy was actually chasing benn more then he was chasing roy after that fight.. Nigel wasnt the same fighter after that anyway..

But he still turned down a multi million dollar payday .. Even when it was hbo offering fighters to fight roy

I think that Calzaghe would hav a better chance than any of them against RJJ as SMW, you cant say his style wouldnt give roy problems?

[Tysonbruno]

Calzaghes a chump

I dont see how it would give roy problems..

[gudnite vienna]

just an opinion...

quite similar styles, could ov being interesting..

reckon calzaghe beats him ud now like.

[ICB]

Roy Jones would beat Calzaghe 9 rounds to 3

I thought Roy didn't want the fight because what happened to his friend Gerald ?? but it doesn't matter Roy would beat Benn no prob Jones loved guys who came straight at him so he could counter punch.
