lastly, you saying that dariusz had been in with quality LHs is hilarious.
- You're not sure about a lot of things when you forget you never knew much of anything to begin with. Mr. Pops quit and Joe invited Pavlik to an all expenses paid excursion to watch him dismantle Kessler. Pavlik never made the journey.

Just the facts ma'am, Rocchigiani 2x, Hill, KO of Thadzi who was coming off a beatdown of Toney and KO of durable Ice John Scully in New England, and KOs of Griffin, Hall 2x, and Harmon.

Unlike Roy and Pavlik, Dariusz, like Joe, also traveled at his own expense to his rival's home environs for one of his HBO muny worker fights to drum up the match between the two and was rebuffed by Roy and HBO.

the only win you listed before dariusz was considered the "linear" champ was one win vs rocchigiani. talk about underwhelming response.
