Was Roy in his prime when he fought Eric Hardening?

[slicksouthpaw16]

Yes he was, and if i am remembering right that was the last fight that Jones had before he went up to heavyweight, and Eric Harding was his mandatory. Jones was prime, its just that Harding was a very good southpaw boxer and unbeaten at the time. Jones was hesitant, but on on the cards i believe he won most of the rounds. Harding was a good counter puncher even though he couldn't punch. He was the first to beat Tarver as well.

You guys should see the Harding v. Roy and Cal v. Roy back to back.

If people remember the Harding fight you'll also remember how some people wanted them to rematch. Harding broke Tarvers rib or ribs. Most had thought Harding gave Roy one hell of a fight.

Harding broke Tarver's jaw en route to a comfortable UD.....

He was pretty much handling Tarver in the rematch for 5 rounds till he ran into a big punch.....that Tarver is one lucky mother****er......

You sure it wasn't a rib, guess im wrong. Tarver beat the crap out of Harding 2nd time around.

Eric broke his ribs AND jaw the first time... and Eric gave RJ all he could handle, DEFINITELY

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

YOUTUBE him versus Paz, Stackhouse, Byrd, Serwano, etc etc...the explosiveness and ferociousness he exhibited back then has been missing for a minute now...

He didn't beat the crap out of him at all in the rematch, and actually if i am remembering right Harding was ahead on all cards at the time of the stoppage. Harding left himself vulnerable and ran right into a counter left hand and he never recuperated.

Yeah that was a good fight. Harding was very good but not as good as MR HARDENING

[Silencers]

I thought Jones had slipped a little by that point, his feet weren't as quick as they used to be and it also showed that he had problems with tall southpaws.
