Sadly, I'd pick Tarver to beat him at this stage. wait...who am I kidding? They're both done.

lmao

Eric 'sore bicep' Harding, great stuff.

Thank God I had illegal cable back then - that was a terrible fight to watch. But Harding gave Jones hell. He really was an excellent fighter but just never took care of himself outside of the ring and eventually he paid for it (against Tarver the second time).

lol

The best part of that fight for me was when Harding says to his coach that his bicep hurts with a smile on his face, he really looked like he was in pain

So true, man. So true.

roy must have bribed ring magazine.

all the policemen and garbage collectors he fought all were top 5 and top 10 in the division.

Yes, he must've. Hard to believe he fought nobody and managed to fool people for 15 years.

I suspect he wasn't lying. Harding was a pretty tough dude. Was also a big-time drug dealer - and I'm not talking small potatoes on the corner - who couldn't leave the streets alone. Also spent most of his camps losing weight instead of training. The lifestyle eventually caught up to him.

i said policemen and garbagemen.


frazier was a mailman.

kelly might be a construction worker but he was like 30-0.

Yes, he must've. Hard to believe he fought nobody and managed to fool people for 15 years.

i'm so glad that he was finally exposed when he finally turned 35.

Hiding behind his HBO contract- which basically allowed him to run rampant in picking up millions of dollars at a time- Jones would fight one undeserving mandatory stiff after another.
But when Tarver had elevated himself to the IBF mandatory position in 2000, he had his promoter at the time Murad Muhammad write a letter questioning his attributes as the number one contender. Eventually, the IBF- which has had an ******uous relationship with Muhammad- acquiesced and forced Tarver into a box-off with Harding for the right to face Jones. Harding would beat Tarver in June of 2000( a loss though, that would be avenged a few years later) and Jones was free from having to face Tarver, until he agreed to face him this past Saturday.


Pitty Roy never saw fit to question the credentials of some of the other stiffs he fought Lol.

good for little roy....
