Tarver was timing him from the opening bell. Even with their first fight he couldn't exactly catch him. Then happened. My formitive years of boxing brehs

Exactly what I came in to say.

As far as this thread to this day I hate Charles Barkley for this fight. Spurs/Lakers were playing the same night as this fight was happening. So me and some friends decided to watch Spurs/Lakers first and then after that's over watch the PPV. The game was at halftime and in the middle of them talking out of nowhere Barkley just yells "OMG Roy Jones just got knocked out". Spoiled that shyt for us big time. So then we all went running into the other room to watch and see what happened.

fukk i remember this

Yeah he beat Roy at 35..but Roy, in his prime, was a force of nature like nothing in boxing history.

Roy vs Tyson was gonna be a predicted 100 million fight at the time.

even after all this time its still shocking how far and fast roy fell off from the P4P list after that fight.

HE was very hated. ..Alot of people waited for him to fall for a long time. Fans...analysts....Kellerman was very pro Roy though.
