Darius would attempt for six years to secure a bout with his American counterpart, Roy Jones Jr, without success. After his titles were stripped from Dariusz, Jones would win Michalczewski's belts and spuriously declare himself "undisputed world champion". Jones steadfastly refused all offers for a lucrative fight with Darius and even made an attempt to ban the mention of Michalczewski's name on his home network, HBO. Seth Abraham, president and CEO of HBO, refused Jones demand and in 2002 a fan poll showed that the fight fans most wanted to see was Darius Michalczewski vs Roy Jones Jr. Jones continued to refuse offers for the fight however. One of his motivations may have been the insistence the fight be held in Europe, where Jones feared he could only win by a knockout.

Why didn't you post the next bit?

Hill vs Michalczewski unification[edit]

On 13 June 1997, he defeated Virgil Hill over 12 rounds to add Hill's Lineal, WBA, & IBF titles to his own. However, Michalczewski soon lost both alphabet titles. The WBA stripped him for displaying its belt along with that of the WBO, an organization it didn't recognize. The IBF did so a few weeks later, when Michalczewski was unable to defend his title in a court-ordered defense against mandatory challenger William Guthrie within a little over a month.[SUP][1][/SUP]
After beating Hill, Michalczewski knocked out 14 consecutive opponents, all in defense of his Lineal/WBO titles. In 1998, he defeated Drake Thadzi, in 1999 he defeated Montel Griffin, and in 2000 he defeated Graciano Rocchigiani.

After his titles were stripped from Dariusz, Jones would win Michalczewski's belts and spuriously declare himself "undisputed world champion".

One of his motivations may have been the insistence the fight be held in Europe, where Jones feared he could only win by a knockout.

It should be noted that should the Jones fight have materialised, Michalczewski would have been beaten in one sided fashion, exposing Dariusz as the as the vastly inferior fighter that he was - whose slow, plodding, basic style didn't match up favourably with Jones in the slightest.

 

all we have is the cold facts :dunno:

the fight never happened...and now one of them has been and will continue to live the life of a millionaire celebrity, whilst the other...well athetic:

 

Roll, would you have picked Boofski over Roy if that fight happened when they were both prime?

 

nah no way

it's still a mythical match up that should have happened though

 

DM would have been handcuffed and beaten in one-sided fashion

 

I dont think it'd be one sides at all. Not in 97-98 anyway

Roy didn't wanna fight DM because he didn't want to fight outside of the US....that's why he never took a single fight outside of the US for the remainder of his caree....oh wait :dunno: wtf

 

Fair enough.

 

I agree with you Hill and Griffin are good wins, but that's just it, good wins. He doesn't have one great, career defining win. Nothing to compare with Jones's wins over Nard and Toney.

And the pathetic, quitting, getting Rochigianni DQ'd win isn't very good at all.

I can't see it as anything but a 1 sided fight to be honest, and I've never been a big Roy fan or anything. Boofski wasn't in Roys class as a fighter, and didn't have the style to trouble him either. Too slow, too basic, Roy would have run circles round him.

Obviously Sloppy Joe !

 

There's no conceivable way for Calzaghe to win. He doesn't even have a punchers chance. Maybe fan man can fly in and spear Roy or some shit.

 

Agree completely but can't imagine michlshitski winning in any way either

 

yeh but Danny Green is a poor mans Michalczewski and he KRTFO!!

 

This is my favourite Mikkelboofski fight. The 6th round is especially excellent.

what i dont get about these Roy Jones mythical match ups is everyone thinks Roy is going to keep in in the centre of the ring the whole fight..even though he's never done that against anyone.....Roy would always happily go back and sit on the ropes with his guard up whenever he was pressured


someone like Jirov would have been an interesting fight....he wouldn't quit after a bloody nose like Ruiz did, and RJ is no Toney on the ropes
