    Heres a 3rd party recounting the Montel griffith fight. Griffith was not up on any scorecard. get out of the dream world.

    by HBO
    Just when it appeared Jones would elevate his greatness to unprecedented heights, the unthinkable happened. While on his way to yet another dominating victory over an unbeaten, but overmatched Montell Griffin in Atlantic City in 1997, he couldn't put the brakes on his own speed and quickness. Wilting under a barrage of blurring punches, Griffin tilted to one knee as Jones, anxious to finish him off, tried to hold back two half-hearted punches that glanced off his opponent's battered face. Referee Tony Perez immediately moved in, waved off Jones and to the stunned champion's disbelief, declared a dazed Griffin the winner on a disqualification...hitting an opponent when he's down.

      If the hard-fought unanimous 12-round decision against Bernard Hopkins thrust Jones on the main stage in 1993, it was his thrilling and astonishing win against unbeaten James Toney a year later that established his long reign as boxing's best "pound-for-pound" titlist. He literally toyed with the rattled Toney, mocking him with the now famous "chicken move" before staggering him to the ropes with a blurring left en route to a shockingly easy win.
      Whats this actually got to do with anything, this is a pretty random post to make...Do you think i need HBO to tell me what happened in those fights?

        Watch the HBO broadcast and you'll see Clancys card. Griffin was 2 rounds up on it.

        As i said, the official cards were split and HBO had Griffin two rounds up.

          Five months later, Jones and Griffin faced off again, only this time there was no doubt left as to who was the better pugilist. Jones roared out of the corner and floored Griffin twice. The merciful end came at the 2:31 mark of the first round. It was over in an instant.

          With the aberration loss now corrected, Jones needed bigger challenges and he literally got it when heavyweight champion John Ruiz agreed to fight him on March 1, 2003. Jones was hoping to become the first middleweight to win the heavyweight crown since Bob Fitzsimmons did it in 1897. Jones utilized secretive, specialized training in preparing for Ruiz. The big speculation was how heavy Roy would come into the fight. Would he crack 200 lbs. and how would that affect his speed and quickness? He surprised everyone by coming in well below 200, but simply had too much talent for the stronger, but slower Ruiz. Jones breezed to a 12-round nod and even though he was a true heavyweight champ, he had no desire to remain there.

          I dont even gotta say anything. I'm just gonna grab stuff from the endless resources that say Roy is the fighter of the 90's. Why should I work to shut down this scab when so many others have done it already.

            Obviously you do. When I say the same thing you say its not true. Im giving you the official ish from now on. My argument had been made for me. Your argument is your own bs. I'll let the official ish crush your head. I don't gotta say ish cause money speaks for itself.

                    HA!

                    A minor detail, my point all along is the fight was in the balance which you cant accept. Forgive me it was a long long time ago.

                    If ive owned myself with that though you've blew your ****in brains out trying to make the fight sound a one-sided beatdown, which it obviously wasn't.

                    Dont even start me on the post you made saying Tarver was his first close fight
