In the promo video for the fight, he looks in excellent shape already. Will Jones enter as a slight underdog? If so, this would be only the second time in his professional career where he enters as underdog. What a great opportunity to make some easy money for betters who bet on roy jones. Jones will make it look EASY! You heard it here first, it will be a one-sided easy victory. Note that Tarver is very susceptible to the left hook and has been knocked down by fighters like reggie johnson and others who do not have the punching power of roy jones. Jones' most powerful punch is his left hook and he's been working on it for almost a year now. :boxing: I could hear the haters already saying that tarver was never really that good to begin with. LOL
Oh I believe he can knock out alot of people still but Tarver isnt one of them. It's very hard to generate power and hit someone that is taller than u. Taller has a bigger frame so it allows him to take a punch. I say roy wins by decision..
You should go say that same thing in a klitschko vs peter thread and see what happens.
Yer all argueing about a couple of inches! You sound like a bunch of women! J/k :D
Sometimes a couple of inches makes all the difference lol
Especially to a woman!
Him and Taver are the same age, and Hopkins is 40, but is still a great fighter.. I'm tired of people saying that age is the factor, he just got exposed!! He never fought nobody until he met Tarver.. He only beat an unprepared Hopkins, and a Fat James Toney..
And about 50 other fuckin legit contenders over a damn decade. You must be fuckin kiddin.

LOLHe WAS NEVER THAT GOOD ... c'mon ... he caught Roy as he's declining. And it doesn't matter who's the oldest ... fighters each have only so many rounds in em and Roy reached his limit first.
One thing I know for sure is that the Roy who fought Tarver and Johnson was gassing and not moving and that made him susceptible to whatever. He was just posing against the ropes and not throwing. Now the bomb he ate ... shit, he ate a bomb. They knock out most guys. He looked so good that first round but he kinda was lookin "trapped".
No disrespect to Tarver but ... he ain't shit. That doesn't look right but hell, I ain't elevatin him based on beating a Roy who came back on lost to Glencoffe by KO, for god's sake.
roy jones is listed as around 5'11. But from what I heard from friends that met him, he's really around 5'9 1/2- 5'10.
I met RJ and he's clearly taller than 5'9. 5'11 sounds about right.
is ya father really 6'2 cuz i heard jones is only 5'9 1/2

Wow, by far the most stupid post of the week.
Jones has been the best fighter of our generation. I think that his legacy was unjustly hurt when he lost to Tarver and Johnson, so I am rooting for Roy. He has always been cocky as hell, overall he has been a good guy both in and outside the ring.
This all being said, when a guy gets old he gets old. After losing his last two fights, I think he loses this one badly by knockout. I would love to be wrong, but I just think he has gotten old.

Man you guys are nuts if you think Jones can win! He can't take a punch at all! First solid punch on Roy's glass chin and his career is over, maybe even his life. He should have just retired. When he got knocked out by Johnson he almost didn't get up. Damn shame that he can't let go.
i never was a jones fan but the more yall doubt him the more im becomin one..cuz imma tell you this jones aint lost barely shit as far as his skills deteriorating his speed looked fast as always and we all know power leaves you last... its none of that...its the weight loss tarver getting in jones head and jones loosing his killer instinct but when you take time off like jones did hes gone be like a starved dog cuz deep down he loves to fight,, and loves when people think hes being challenged even when hes not so he can look great by fighting a overrated fighter ..if tarver was right handed he wouldnt be shit..jones will beat tarver up in a vicious beating
Roy Jones should stick to makin rap albums. How many he got out, 1? How many he sold, 2? nyahahahahaha!
Seriously man. Roy Jones shoulda stayed retired. Tarver will punish him again.
i say Jones wins by a close UD and will probobly hurt Tarver around the 8th
You damn right!
and ya'll must of forgot, P4P champ will make it look easy.
His dad is also ducking Bonecrusher Smith. His son called Tarver's son out today. And so far Tarver's son has punked out.
my dad's legacy > bonecrusher smith's legacy
Roy Jones might get a close decision this time. I am not so sure about a Tarver KO because I think that Jones will be aware. However, if Jones is more lethargic than he was against Johnson, I can see a Tarver KO then.
