With due respect to Tarver the first fight he had with Roy was actually the start of the unimaginable downhill for Jones Jr. as he barely escaped with a decision win.Roy's decline was beginning to show in that fight no longer the spectacular fighter we all knew. Then the rematch happened, it was still shocking for many of Roy's fans but looking at their first encounter the writings are already on the wall for Roy.
Overrated he was lucky he didn’t fight Roy in his prime … it wouldn’t have gone past 5 rounds … Roy would have put that man to sleep … but real boxing fans know that … casuals only look at the numbers not the real life circumstances … gotta look into the history of the fights and the boxers to understand the real reason tarvar came up
Sure cuz you didn’t see a prime Roy … Tarvar could never fight at heavy weight and Roy came down after winning the heavyweight weight title to beat him and he did he was shot by then he added too much muscle and lost his fast twitch ability when he cut down so soon to fight him .. but any version before he cut the weight beats tarvar .. that dude had nothing compared to Roy dude you have no clue how great Roy was and it’s evident with your weak comment
Hell of a boxer. Tarver was great.

No version of Roy Jones Jr. would’ve stopped big Antonio Tarver man.
