It's in the books: Tarver goes down in history as the better man

[DiegoFuego]

When it comes down to it, great fighters find it. Roy didn't against Tarver. END OF STORY.

Tarver > Jones

[restless_438]

you can say whatever you feel like now, but Tarver could NEVER stand in a ring with a prime Roy Jones. now thats truth.

it's really quite uneccesary to try to take anything away from roy. he will always be remembered as one of the greats, and tarver more than likely- will not. he'll only be remembered for beating roy jones in the falling after of his career.

Answer me this.

Is Junior Jones a better fighter than Barrera because he beat him twice?

excuses can and always will be made on the behalf of any fighter to ever step into any ring. but when you're dealing with top professional fighters who all really know their stuff, i personally don't believe there to always be a truly better man- i mean obviously in some cases there are. but it's really just always been an odds game that depends on a plethora of factors, from training to equipment, from corner strength to the humidity in the building. everything matters a little bit in any and every given situation.

Prime?

Dude there is no huge age difference. Tarver is 2 months older than Jones.

Tarver just got a late start in his pro career.

No excuses.

Some boxers hit their prime at different times. Lennox Lewis was able to fight later in his career. BHop still has a fight or two left. Mike Tyson wasn't able to fight effectively later in his career. So I don't think that you saying they are the same age has much merit. Roy's prime was a few years ago.

The point is, a TRUE GREAT FIGHTER rises up on the occassion no matter what the odds are. Just take at a look at Foreman champ still at 40. Jordan in his 30's still a champ.

Winners win no matter what. Mediocres find excuses. Winners and Greats find ways to win.

hmm

Pakmen...sorry but your comparisons are ridiculous. foreman relied on power and he got a good shot after getting stomped by Michael Moorer for 11 rounds.

Jordan doesn't get hit in the head playing b-ball, and he wasn't spectacular nor did he win any titles at the end of his career, so you have no point.

the only ppl who won't rate Roy highly are ppl who have disliked him all along...period.
