How Do You Suggest Roy Fights Tarver October 1st?

Seriously though. Roy needs to keep moving. If he gets caught on the ropes he needs to fight his way out and keep moving. If Roy doesn't make any mistakes he will win. he needs to clinch on the ropes. he can't do that 'rope-a-dope' stuff with tarver...maybe in his youth but not anymore. once he clinches they can reset back to the middle of the ring...it's ugly but it works.

LOL :D B-Hop isn't going anywhere...I should have a boxingscene Team Truth... :) Very Cool. Team Truth kicks ass! :cool: :boxing:

Hey Bro where can I sign up for Team truth. Just replace B. Hop with Taylor. :D LOL :D B-Hop isn't going anywhere...I should have a boxingscene Team Truth... :)

If you were Roy's trainer what strategies or styles would you suggest he use to defeat the magic man? I would tell him to retire before he gets embarrassed again.

What he needs to do is starting throwing straight shots when he's in the middle of the ring, particularly jab to the body and the head. I don't think being on the ropes is the danger zone for him, because he can cover up okay, he just isn't that effective on the ropes. He needs to limit exchanges in the middle of the ring, get in, out, and on with the match :D..

his punch was at middle weight..most of his supposed kos at lightheavy were due to stoppage, and tko...i can only name woods, griffin, and hill that he actually stopped at light heavyweight. i notice a lot of flash knock downs at lightheavyweight but of course that was due to roy countering 'in-between' shots that the guy never saw (kinda like what happend to him..lol) Jones purposely didn't go for knockouts Post-Benn/McClellan, he wanted to play it safe from then after seeing what happened to his good friend, but he still has that power if required.

I think people are forgetting that Roy Jones had a powerful punch, he knocked out 17 guys in a row to kickstart his career, and the last thing to leave a fighter is his punch. If I had to put money on it, I'd bet on Roy Jones having a good punchers chance against the ageing Tarver. his punch was at middle weight..most of his supposed kos at lightheavy were due to stoppage, and tko...i can only name woods, griffin, and hill that he actually stopped at light heavyweight. i notice a lot of flash knock downs at lightheavyweight but of course that was due to roy countering 'in-between' shots that the guy never saw (kinda like what happend to him..lol)

If I didn't know better I'd say you're converting into a Roy nuthugger.

It would be the craziest thing if the world if Tarver just swarms him and let his hands go like Glen Johnson did...Tarver, of course, doesn't have the stamina for that. If Roy Jones jr. is anything like he was for the majority of their 2nd fight...Tarver is going to need a stoppage to win.

By being as cat-like as he can possibly be. Quick shots, step to the SIDE...repeat. He has to hope that Tarver will be a little one-punch crazy, & allows Roy to pick him as Antonio waits & waits. For Roy to win, it will be a very dull fight. He really must avoid decent contact with Tarver's left hand.

I would love to see Roy Jones dance like Sugar Ray Leonard. As a matter of fact, I'd like to see Tyson dance around the ring like Ray Leonard also. http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4724&page=1

Jones needs to change his style as Ali did with his comeback in 70. The speed, more legs than anything are not as they once were and Jones needs to curb his reliance of bobing & weaving and BLOCK. He needs to learn to block, keep his hands up....at least while punches are being throw. When G Johnson was throwing all those punches rather than block jones thought he could out weave while one the ropes??!?!?!

you don't believe he could pull this one off, do you? odds are against him but to a few (and that includes me), i think he's still got some of those reflexes you mentioned and that will be enough for him to win against tarver. i hope im right. this is his last chance if he loses, retirement should be his next step and he should just concentrate on doing anchor for big fights (he's doing good anyway). I like your attitude Chito... :)

pretty much the same as the first fight.........and to land some big bombs in the first rounds, just to let tarver know/feel that jones is no longer a spent force.

how old is roy jones jr? i'd pick him to win this, i hope he's in tip-top shape. Younger than Tarver. But old enough for his reflexes to of diminished (you know, the reflexes that he solely relied on all his career).

I suggest Roy Jones give it up before he get's hurt. Beside has everyone forgotten how Roy handpicked opponents for most of has career ? another jones hater...Who could he have fought at 175 besides the people that were over seas?? He beat Hopkins at 160, Toney at 168, people are never satisfied, he even did something that Holyfield, Golota, and many others couldnt and thats blow out Ruiz with ease. And if his chin is as bad as some say then beating Ruiz is very impressive, he is a decent puncher. Much harder than Tarver or Johnson IMO
