I try to tell my friend JPBoxer that these guys are solid fighters but nothing special. They both are living off of wins over a washed up RJ. HBO was trying to talk this fight up like it was great, but to me it was boring for the most part and both seemed to be out of gas after the fifth. JPBoxer tried to tell me that Johnson was a World Class fighter because he beat Jones and Clinton Woods. He said that if he beat Tarver then he would put him ahead of Floyd. I told him that Woods was a nobody, Jones was wahed up and Tarver is overated and just living off the Jones win. Tarver should have never been ranked that high in the #for# rankings. Like I said, both of them are solid but nothing special and should not be ranked in the #for# rankings.

Tarver and Johnson Overated

Tarver was high on the p4p list, but won't be after tonight, even if he had won he would have slipped.
Lt. heavy is pretty weak, but so are heavy and cruiser.
Most of the top p4p's are between 126-160.

I agree. Tarver was being placed in the top five of some P4P lists. Ridiculous, He's Vernon Forrest.

Originally posted by DLTI am a fan of both of them and more of Johnson. I like them alot and I think their good fighters, just not #for#. Theres nothing wrong with not being #for#. Theirs a million fighters and only a few make it. Their both probally in the top 20
Johnson beat two of the very best in his division in a 4month span.Yes,Jones was shot and Tarver is overrated but they were the best and Johnsons beat them both.Right now,he has got to be considered a top10 p4p fighter,Comeback Fighter of the Year and not to mention The Fighter of the Year.Last edited by jpboxer3; 12-19-2004, 12:44 AM.

He's more on a "streak."

but he fought many more fights
boxing was also a part time business for GJ
he made his living as a construction worker (!!!)
so, taking a close look at his career, GJ is quite exeptional

completely agree
tonite they showed that roy jones was done
this fight was plain awful
after the fifth the "skill" was gone
it was just two old bumbs tryin to make it to the end
like ya said
they are good
and maybe, says volumes about thier weak ass division,
the best in lhw
but they are still nothin special
by a long shot
they are absofreakinloty no where near being p4p bests
just chumps that beat a p4p king
