Why Rocchigianni was stripped of his title.

[Toney616]

There's a ton of fighters Jones didn't fight.

Nunn
Benn
Eubank
Collins
Barkley
Cordoba
Littles
Van Horn
Liles
Nardiello
Close
Rocchigianni
Nicotra

Cordoba was a great fighter, I got around to watching Nunn-Cordoba the other day. Havent seen much of Liles anyone here have anything apart from the Liles-Littles II fight?

Really? I've never seen Cordoba. At least not that I can remember. The fight I REALLY would have liked to have happened is Jones-Nunn. That would have been a terrific fight IMO. Skills and speed out of this world.

That would of been good at 160 and maybe 168, but Nunn was way past his best at 175. I was shocked with the amount of punches he took during the cordoba fight (I also thought he lost it as well)

Thanks for this site very helpful.

He was awarded 31million, but didnt get nearly that much. The WBC didnt have 31 million to give, and were going to go into bankruptcy if he tried to collect. Think they settled with him out of court for an undisclosed sum.

He may have only got a few million, who knows.

Roy Jones done some disgraceful things, check this out to........



Hiding behind his HBO contract- which basically allowed him to run rampant in picking up millions of dollars at a time- Jones would fight one undeserving mandatory stiff after another.
But when Tarver had elevated himself to the IBF mandatory position in 2000, he had his promoter at the time Murad Muhammad write a letter questioning his attributes as the number one contender. Eventually, the IBF- which has had an ******uous relationship with Muhammad- acquiesced and forced Tarver into a box-off with Harding for the right to face Jones. Harding would beat Tarver in June of 2000( a loss though, that would be avenged a few years later) and Jones was free from having to face Tarver, until he agreed to face him this past Saturday.

Yeah, Jones was free from having to face Tarver. He had to face the guy who beat Tarver instead
