    It would have stopped a lot of fighters.
    Have you ever FOUGHT?

    Have you ever been hit with a Forearm {the front part, not the back}?

    I have...it's nowhere near the same as being hit by a punch.

      Before Tarver, too many people respected Roys power.
      I wonder why: BEACUSE ROY HAD POWER AND SPEED.

      When he fought Tarver, one, I admit, Tarver didn't respect Jones which helped, but Roy looked like a GHOST.

        it was the only full fight footage I could find on youtube.

        I didnt think there was a huge difference between the Jones against Hanshaw and the one against Calzaghe. its one of the main reasons I didnt think Roy stood a chance against Calzaghe.

          The Glenn Johnson fight should have been good enough. Glenn's victory over Jones was greater than the rest.

            To me Roy's absolute prime was from between, say, 1993 to 1998, give or take...

                      To me Tarver deserves the credit... he started it all as he SAID he would...he called it as it was...but Johnson IMO won every second of every round...Roy was totally not himself, though, and obviously hasnt been since the night he beat Ruiz
