Roy lost 20 pounds of weight in such a short time. 20 pounds of pure muscle. If him and tarver fought during Roys first perios at light heavyweight. Roy would have dominated.
Btw, if ever the term ''lucky punch'' should be used, its for this fight
if roy hadnt of lost so much weight so quickly, he wouldve dominated tarver, the 1st fight he had no energy and lay against the ropes for most of the fight, yet i still had him up by one or two points due to body work, and tarver fought for only the last 30 seconds of each round, the 2nd fight roy couldnt take the punch, and being weight drained made him unable to take punches anymore, hence why he got ko'd by glen johnson and danny green, and he has a low workrate so couldnt beat calzaghe
to quote 50 cent "the shit journalist write about me get me confused, had me feeling like the heavyweight champ when he lose!" I felt like lost when this happened.
i hate tarver because to me roy is the only persons number he had im happy bernard whoped his ass to me tarever aint shit fareal i wish roy would of won and retired i hate seeing this
@jaikaransingh how????? some one else said the same thing i said that they hate tarver y reply to mines and not there's smh maybe cus i said im glad hopkins beat tarver ????????? wat i was sayin was tarver talks too much to only have one big win if he talked and was trashin top countenders/or other big names and built a great resume then id say o.k. glen johnson beat roy and when johnson gets beat i dont say im glad so n so whoped his ass cus he wasnt as disrespectful to roy as tarver was
@jay89allday Look man, there are elements about the fight game u dont understand and dont factor in. No disrespect. Its all business- even if u got to make it personal.Johnson has been to laid back in his post and pre fights which has hurt his career financially. Tarver has got skills, and guts to face roy no matter what state roy comes in. He fought hard, gave a good show more than once, and had to be very vocal about the whole affair in order to secure his place. RESPECT must be awarded
@jaikaransingh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit man i was smdh i want him to retire i hate seein him loose like that he dont got nothin left to prove he's put his time in took on everybody and did somethin only ray robinson did i think? he's still good but i think he might be better off steppin away thats just me thoe watchu think man
When people say Tarver was better than Jones, JC better than Jones etc., I say if they bet Ali (at 60yrs of age) would that make them the greatest. Was Larry Holmes better than Ali, no Ali was past his sell by date just like Jones above. One of the all time greats - cannot wach the last part but thanks usman - a brill compilation
so sad 2 see jones on the floor. that one punch from tarver ruined his entire career... even if it was lucky! the only thing that kept him goin after that was his huge heart. roy jones is the best!
@whereitallhappens yea i can understand that for sure. When roy fought tarver for the second time it was on my 20th birthday and maaaan all i wanted to see was roy knock tarvers ass out! Ruined my birthday when roy lost, still my favorite boxer of all time and one of the greats! Would love to meet roy for sure.
Like my friend tacoandbeer said if Tarver wouldnt have gotten his ass whooped by Harding He would have had the chance to fight Roy earlyer and lost a UD. Maybe even a knockout. Everything happens for a reason.
That loss made me cry. Tarver made probably the second greatest upset in history. I like Tarver, but I like Roy's style better. He just lost his piff after coming down from heavyweight.
still it's obvious tarver aint 25% the fighter jones was...love jones at 3:13 even though he missed,i remember rewinding that little sequence over and over..he slips tarver's straight left and comes back like a snake
i'll never forget the feeling of watching jones trying to get up and falling down..just felt like watching something happening that wasnt suppose to be happening at all,like watching your best friend or a relative get shot in front of you all of a sudden
I know how you felt, I am a roy jones fan, about a month before the fight I had a dream that roy got knock out by tarver. I told some of my friends of mines about the dream. when it happened I was shocked and my friends reminded me of the dream I had. it was shocking.
Yeah stronger and tougher, I agree. But jones, at super middleweight, was untouchable. He had the killer instinct too. He was so fast, so technical. It would have been a terrific and competitive fight though. A massacre? No, I might have been too categorical.
Personally, I think Nady should have let Jones fight...Roy was on his feet at the count of 9 (watch the clock in the real fight), it was a knock down. Yeah he was dazzed but he would surely survive the last minute =/ Roy was in great shape, if it ended on scorecards he would win...
Look how Tarver looks up at Roy around 1.18. he wishes he had his talent. If Tarver really thinks he's ever been better than Roy when Roy was at his best he's deluded. When he gets counted out it sickens me, another ref would of let him carry on.
And if that fight went on Roy Jones wouldn't of lasted 1 more punch before he was knocked out cold. It was a perfect stoppage. Don't talk foolish. Thats how fighters get hurt.
Tarver is a chump. His whole claim to be great in his career is based around one lucky punch. He reminds me of Hasim Rahman who is now getting a shot at Klitschko for no reason other than he landed a lucky punch on Lennox Lewis like 7 years ago. What is Hasim Rahman really? An decent but not great figher who got lucky. Tarver is the same. But Tarver is a chump because he thinks he's great. Jones is a far superior fighter to Tarver in every way. End of.
Looks like Zab Judah in the back behind roy around the 2 minute mark
