I know jones wasn't really all the way there anymore but he had difficulties none the less if he was in his prime would it have been easier or still hard? Also why was it so hard for him?

Southpaw, long jab, length, height, power, and timing....somewhat similar to Frankie Liles who turned out to be a good pro, and had a series of fights in the amateurs with Roy; beat him, lost to him, scored a couple of knockdowns in the process. He tried to meet Roy in the pros but it never happened....regardless, for Tarver, it was a great blueprint to work from. And that type of experience helped RJ as well, the first fight was definitely evenly fought imo

It wasn't Tarver's style.
Roy was off his prime. He lost way too much weight too fast and never recovered physically.
Ppl have very short term memory and think Pacquiao and Mayweather are the greatest **** since slice bread.
