His anonymity is probably the only reason why the public even bothers' to mention such a blatant washed up coward like Roy Jones as one of the silly pound for pound best in the sport.

Michalczewski, 43-0 with 36 knockouts, has so far defended his WBO light heavyweight title a record 18

times, and has held it since 1994. Amost every boxing expert in America knows how good he is and more people are beginning to understand that Roy Jones is ducking him out of fear. He's a typical Polish fighter, fierce body puncher, who has ruled the sport with calculated viciousness that has broken fighters spirits as well as their bodies. He prefers to fight the best fighters in the division as opposed to the soft opponents that Roy Jones dines on.

His fighting style would best be described as all out aggression, as he is attacks with reckless abandon until his opponent is left broken and defeated on the canvas. There is nothing pleasant about Michalczewski in the ring, as he is a cold blooded executioner, who calmly and quietly destroys his opponent. He is emotionless, and machinelike when he is in the ring, leaving many of his opponents feeling as if they were attacked by an animal. (hence, where Michalczewski get's the nickname "The Tiger")

He started his last fight by attempting to decapitate Ka-Dy King, for the first two rounds then he settled down and gave him a hellacious beating. (ending with King KO'ed in the 7th) As usual, King found out what all Michalczewski's other opponents have found out, that he can flat out punch! King later said "Every round was pain, I fought back well, but it was not enough. He is to strong, has too many abilities and experience."

Michalczwski, derives from Poland but immigrated to Germany and now lives in Hamburg, where he trains with Fritz Zdunek (trains Klitschko brothers and Juan Carlos Gomez as well).

In his 18 title defenses Michalczewski has has scored 15 knockouts. Among Michalczewski's 18 title defenses are victories over Montell Griffin and Virgil Hill. Whereas, Roy Jones had great deal of trouble with Montell Griffin in his first fight, Michalczewski toyed with him before knocking him out in the fourth round.

For three long years Michalczewski has been calling out Chicken Roy Jones, but nothing he has done can get the coward into the ring with him. Instead, Jones makes a myriad of excuses to explain away his failure of nerve "I don't like to fly on airplanes"...."Michalczewski isn't well known enough for me to fight him" and finally "The money ain't right for the fight." Believe me, these are only a few of the many, many excuses that are used to substitute for Chicken Jone's shameful cowardice.

The truth of the matter is, Chicken Roy Jones hasn't been the same boxer since his defeat of James Toney in 1994. Ever since then, it's been one long slide down into mediocrity and complacency.

Ducking competition is what Jone's does the best, as he has refused to face Gerald McClellen, Nigel Benn and Chris Eubanks when they were in their prime. Why didn't chicken Jones fight these guys? I'll tell you, cause he's sniveling, no good, coward, that's why.

The window for this fight was about one year ago, and now Roy Jones has slowly destroyed his own reputation by refusing to fight top level fighters. There is no reason why this fight hasn't happened now because clearly the public wants it and there are every reason in the world to make the fight because of the huge financial payoff for both fighters.

Unfortunately now ole chicken Jones says he is going to move down to the 168 pound division because "I've already beat everyone in the light heavyweight division." In that remark, Jone's basically admit's his cowardliness for all to see. What can you do when someone who is hyped as much as Jone's, chooses to run and hide? The answer is to dismiss him and focus on real talent. Besides, who has Chicken Jones beat aside from James Toney in the past 7 years? Oh, I forgot about that awesome Derrick Harmon that he just finished struggling with in his last fight. I stand corrected.

One thing is abundantly clear: Roy Jones is not capable of fighting at the top level in the light heavyweight division, as he has struggled with all his opponents since moving up to the division.

In contrast, Dariusz Michalczewski leaves no doubt to the outcomes of his matches, as his performances are so dominating that most of his opponents are beaten into submission by the 6th round.

Clearly, Jones see's what we see in Michalczewski, a fearless, straight ahead, fighting machine and that's what makes him so scared.

For all the bluster Chicken Jones made about moving up and wiping out the Cruiserweight division and then fighting as a heavyweight against Lewis or Holyfield, the sad truth is he doesn't have the size or power to rule even the light heavyweight division.

I give Michalczewski a lot of credit, he has unmistakable class. Not only has he destroyed his entire division, but he has done it in style that has left no question as to the outcome of his bouts, as he has knocked out his last 8 challengers.
