Roy Jones Jr. Knocked Out by Tarver
Adam Donnelly:
What A Shock
Perfection:
Jones says he's retiring now
Shallow:
Roy Jones has been over rated since day 1. Okay he's good, but to prove yourself to great you have compete in the "real" divisions, Heavy Weight, Welter Weight, Middle Weight. What the fuck is light heavy weight? It's a bullshit division for guys that can't cut it with the big boys. I'm glad he got KO'd, it's about time he fought a guy that wasn't a complete waste, (every light guy he's ever fought), or payed not throw any punches (Ruiz). To think he actually thought he could even stand in the same ring as Lennox, much less beat him, is absurd. Good for Tarver. Now let's hope he moves up a bit in weight and gets his assed kicked by a real fighter, a heavy weight fighter.
Perfection:
^^Jones didn't start out in the lightweight division, he just moved up in weight over the years like many boxers have done.
Shallow:
He moved up to what? In the entire history of boxing there have only been to prestigious divisions:
Welter/Middle Weight- La Motta, Robinson, Leonard, Hearns, Duran, Hagler, De La Hoya.
Heavy Weight- Marciano, Lewis, Ali, Liston, Foreman, Frasier, Tyson, Lennox Lewis.
light heavy weight? what the heel is that? It was division for clowns like Jones not to get there asses kicked. Rocky boxed at about 185 lbs, and he was a Heavy Weight. Why change it for guys like Jones? I'm not even saying he should have been fighting Tyson and Holyfield. If he had dropped to 150-155 and beat guys like De La Hoya, Trinidad, and Mosely, then he would have earned my respect. But name me one competent, good fighter he ever faced. When he fought Hopkins, Hopkins was too young and not fully matured.
