[TheEvilSaint]

roy is one of the best without a doubt

no he is/was not. there is no way he belongs on the same P4P list with ali, louis, holmes, and others.

Roid was a fraud who ducked fighters and cheated on steroids.

Tarver fought a shot Jones.He just had great timeing catching the great Roy Jones Jr. at the end of his outstanding career.

I think there is an important difference. Ali's other opponents could not reproduce Norton's results. But Glen Johnson was able to reproduce Tarver's results. He just ignored Roy's speed, kept applying pressure, and punched when Roy punched.

You gotta face the facts guy. Roid bamboozled you. Get on with your life.

no i think Tarver to RJJ was like Holmes to Ali, BETTER
Tarver is just a better fighter than RJJ ever was, just like Holmes was better than ALI, neither will ever get the credit though because they beat them later in their careers. Norton wasn't that great where as Tarver has beaten everyone he has faced.

[Heckler]

yeah, that does make sense. like norton really HAD ali's number, while tarver, in a sense got lucky at his timing. perphaps there were others who roy fought earlier in his career, that were probably better than tarver that could have done what tarver did

Norton would always trouble Ali, but in 67... Ali's lateral movement would let him get away with the flaws norton exposed.
