If DM's considering a comeback, why not setup a RJJ fight? No real significance today, but better late than never...
I think DM is fighting at CW now....not sure Jones fancies going up that high because there is more money at LHW and SMW right now.

Who gives a shit about DM? During hisprime he never made an effort to make big fights happen. Now that he is shot, he could fight in an alley where I pass by everyday, I wouldn't even care to watch.

dm made big fights in his day, you shouldve just paid attention when he unified light heavyweight.

Funny that RJJ can fight at 170 but DM can not even make 175.

It's not funny. RJJ started his pro career at 156, DM over 175 lbs.

There's no problem with these oldies matchups if these are on FREE televison. Roy-Tito = PPV. If you don't like it then you don't have to watch. But if u want to see it, in Europe u can watch it free, in the US it's 50 bucks.

cause that would be a slaughter, he was offered 5 milion euros for comeback, not for massacre

Ah, here it is, the ever growing trend of the extinct dinosaurs all coming back for a payday. Michealzewski had his chance , with him and Roy Jones playing footsies across the Atlantic, no one wanting to leave the safe confines of home for what might have been an interesting fight. Now, Dariuz is totally shot, and everybody is supposed to get excited about him fighting the ghost of Virgil Hill?

DM against Rocky was a farce anyway, it's better that way.
BTW I think DM is so shot now that Hill will beat him. DM looked shot against Tiozzo, a 3 year layoff will certainly not help that...

Well Maske did it and actually defeated Hill which was a shocking upset. Of course I have to agree: Dariusz was a shot fighter the last time. He shouldn't get back in the ring. However it is not our decision. Our decision is to watch it or not. And if it's free, it's not even a tough one.
And you can say that Tito was shot and retired, Roy should've retired after the 2nd horrible KO loss and they put on a better than average show anyway of course generating 500.000+ PPVs. It was bad as a PPV show but as long as there are no titles on the line these matchups are quite interesting as free events. Nodody expecting FOTY or a second career. Just a matchup on a saturday evening if no others shows has been made to the same day. Of course I wouldn't even chosen a free Tito-Roy over any Nonito Donaire, Arthur Abraham, Paulie Malignaggi or Lucian Bute fight.

Why doesn't RJJ call out Dariusz M??? He's breaking his neck trying to get back into great shape. Surely Jones still isn't afraid to lose to him?
Hill, despite being in his 40's (which DM will also be, by the time they fight), is actually an active fighter, and has had great career longevity.
DM won prime for prime, but now 11 years later, will imo be the underdog. That's how over-the-hill he is. He was shot against Richard Hall in 2001, very shot against Gonzalez in 2003, and done against a still hungry Tiozzo in 2005.
This is purely about the money and not about anything else...but I agree, Michalczewski coming back should lead to an RJJ fight, if for nothing else than to simply make up for a lost chance in the 1990's.

You are right in the sense that both of these guys should each give the other a holler about finally getting it on.

I actually think Hill actually has a bit left in the tank. He still has a great workrate for a old man.

if dm is fighting hill as a tuneup or to gauge what he has left, that's fine. if he's just trying to get some cash, why would anyone support that fight unless you're an absolute dm diehard fan?
