He was ok. He never fought outside of Germany and was pretty protective. His best win was probably Virgil Hill. He wasn't someone that needed to be ducked. Roy ducked a fight in Germany. After Seoul, Roy didn't want to fight a foreign fighter in his backyard.

I would put him below a lot of guys from that era.

stroker only discerns greatness, not goodness


anyhow, Michalzewski was very good. One of the better euro's of recent times and a tight pressure fighter. RJJ probably would have beaten him, but still should have fought him. He was the true lineal champ, beat Hill and Griffin. Thazdi was pretty good to, had just beaten Toney.

Genuine LOL out of me.

Nice work, friend.

" How good was Dariusz
Michalczewski?" Good enough to have Roy Jones Jr duck him throughout both of there Light Heavyweight dominance part of there careers.

I'm pretty sure its Stoker, not Stroker. Buncha fruits...

I saw an interview where Roy said that HBO offered Dariusz 5 million to come to the U.S for a fight with Roy & he said no.

Looking at some footage of Dariusz. ..I can't see him defeating a prime Roy. His style was a little too orthodox & basic imo. Roy would have dismantled him.

Didn't think he ever wanted to come stateside. May just be the narrative I remember.

whut?!

DM would have been soundly outboxed by Roy.

He would've been no match for Roy.

If you think Hopkins took the easy way out against Dawson, you'll have to take a look at the first Michalczewski-Rocchigiani fight. 20 000 booed him and he wanted to get out of the fight. I wouldn't be surprised if he declined an offer to fight Roy Jones Jr in the United States.

 

[GhostBlade]

He didn't seem that great from the highlights. I think Golovkin, a middleweight, would beat him.

I hope we get more input based on youtube highlights.

It was stroker, learn to read.

 

[burningspear]

Now we know Roy has a chin like King Khan, who knows?

Maybe to you guys. To me, its Stoker and thats the way it should be.

 

[The Batkilt]

No its Becky.

Roy would have beat the breaks off of him. He was a solid fighter though. Nothing special imo
