i think tarver thought it was "in the bag", he's been partying all year since he forced a past his prime Roy Jones to lean back. i know Roy was arrogant too, but Jones REALLY WAS THAT GOOD, he's the most naturally talented fighter i've been lucky enough to see in my lifetime. with all the years of hype over Roy Jones, it's not much of surprise to me that he started believing he was superman. i hate tarver because of his cheap win over RJJ, a prime RJJ would have destroyed tarver like he did Montell Griffin in the rematch. i could beat a has been too, and i'm a ****ty amateur, the diference bewteen me and tarver is i don't think that makes me great

Okay, I usually agree with you 9 times out of 10, so I guess this is that one time that I dont. How was it a cheap win? I mean, everyone kept talking like Jones dominated him completely in the first fight as expected...and that same "has been" just beat a heavy wt. Like Ruiz or not (and I dont) he is a real heavy wt...so, everyone was going on and on over that victory...then Tarver ko's him and all of a sudden it's only cause Jones was shot?? I dont get that...could it not be that Tarver just happens to have that type of style; a style that would give Jones problems no matter when they fought?? I mean, in all fairness..you dont have to like Tarver to admit that. And nobody said a word about Jones being "done for"...hell, no where near it, until Tarver beat him. That's just not fair to Tarver...not at all

I agree wtih this one. I also do not like how great/good fighers become "has beens" after one or two losses. RJJ lost to the top LHWs. Tarver and GJ are both tremendous boxers. RJJ looked good in his first fight with Tarver.

Jones is shot, something happened to his amazing reflexes, they're just not there anymore

[Soundtraveler]

Roy Jones Jr. has nothing to prove to anyone, he was perhaps the most skilled (reflex and speed + power wise) fighter of any decade and maybe even in any division....

Very true, and I agree (thats just not what the discussion was about though) It was about exactly when Jones had become "done"...if it was before or after the Tarver fights; not if he needed to prove himself even more

Oh, and some karma coming your way after I spread it around....I must have sent to you recently and forgot it
