    he was flurrying at roy, when roy put his guard up and went back on the ropes... SOME punches got through.. most glanced off...

    its prolly the biggest memory, because nobodys ever seen roy like that.. but does that mean tarver won the fight, or hurt roy? no.....

              I don't buy the excuse, Jones is packing a glass jaw and Tarver exposed it.

                People are so ****ing ****** man... "I don't buy the losing weight being an issue" combined with "Tarver isn't an elite fighter" ****ing hell man Tarver is underated as ****, and the people who think he is not elite are generally the people who are limited in boxing knowledge.

                    Yep

                    I like your sig, you make it yourself?

                    To answer the question. I doubt Roy regrets it, the accomplishment was huge and probably the best thing he has acheived as a boxer. his regret would probably be jumping back to light heavyweight so quickly and ending up suffering 3 losses, with 2 by KO.

                      He won the two fights in which Roy was clearly a ghost of his former self at 175. In the first, Roy was given problems against the ropes, but he dictated the pace of the fight elsewhere.
