No, writers and fans just like to make Roy look bad. The body punch was because he was a great body puncher and had power back then.

There was a huge difference between that Virgil Hill punch and Tarver's punch. If Roy wouldnt have landed that body shot, the fight would have gone on and Roy would have won no matter what? Tarver was losing the fight at the moment. He would have needed another heymaker to win a fight against Roy IMO.

wtf they both had a feeling out round in the 1st neither threw hardly any shots, then in round two it got slightly better and tarver landed the deciding shot, the first fight was very close, just say for arguements sake if tarver hadn't landed the second one would of been close too, i think the rubber match will with tarver winning

That's ignorant. Whoever wrote that is just letting their hatred of Roy get in the way of thier perception of reality. Big difference...Roy's eyes were open when he threw his.
