Does anyone remember when Roy Jones was roasted by Hbo for fighting dogcatchers

Because of pure athleticism and skill, yes he's way up there.

The thing is that even though Jones is among the absolute best off pure athleticism,it was that same ****iness that was why he was still beaten several times by unheralded fighters like Tarver who was mainly known for having Jones number. (Tarver was a huge underdog & he bodied Jones in lifetime highlight reel fashion.)

He faced & beat several killers but he still was a huge favorite in 90% of fights(on few occasions like 50-1 type favored)

Tarver was like a more skillful Wilder of that era imo

The announcer actually said"Jones is still on ***** street" when Tarver kod jones

I feel like HBO had this thing against certain fighters. If they didnt like you they would sabotage your post fight interview and would want you to lose. Listen to Larry Merchant and Jim Lampley. No idea wtf they were talking about. Even the translators ******! Good thing they had Emmanuel Steward, Lennox Lewis and George Foreman on there. Max Kellerman is another idiot.
