LMAO... this guy doesn't even have his fact straight, he is a complete dumbass. How can you trash a fighter that badly without actually knowing his history. Roy Jones Jr. never ducked anyone and he lost 3 in a row NOT 4!!! Obviously he didn't watch the first Jones-Tarver fight close enough, because in my opinion Jones was the clear victor despite putting on the least productive performance of his career.
Since when did Roy Jones Jr. avoid good fighters??? He fought the best fighters available to him! He fought Bernard Hopkins (22-1) he fought James Toney (44-0) He fought Montell Griffin twice (26-0)and(27-0)He beat Lou De Voul (27-1) He beat Eric Harding (19-0) who had previously defeated Antonio Tarver, dominated him and knocked him down in the 11th round. Then there was Derrick Harmon (20-1) Julio Gonzalez (27-0) Glen Kelly (28-0) Clinton Woods (32-1) John Ruiz (38-4) for the heavyweight title.
Roy Jones Jr. had 7 Light Heavyweight title belts. That's right 7!! He went 15 years without a true loss, he is one of the greatest of all time! And he didn't just win all his fights he put on a spectacular show everytime and displayed total domination.
Former middleweight world champion, former super middleweight world champion, former heavyweight world champion and 3 time light heavyweight world champion, to say that he was overrated is absolutely ludicrous and biased plain and simple!
Anybody who thought Tarver beat RJJ in their 1 st fight does'nt know how to score a fight ,Tarver had periods of inactivity in that fight where he got outworked ,
Article is full of contradiction. At first, it says that Roy ducked all challenges in his career and then later in another sentence it says Roy could've been considered one of the best if he retired after beating Ruiz, and then another sentence says he had a stellar career and ranks among the best.....article sucks
