    I admit I do hold a grudge against Roy Jones for beating up my Uncle's Friend, but overall I do respect his once surreal talents.

    So what do you guys think was the primary reason for his decline?

    Coming back from HW TO LHW
    Antonio Tarver was no better than Bernard Hopkins, James Toney or Virgil Hill yet he gave Roy Jones all kinds of trouble in their first fight

    This, If he became a master craftsman like Bhop, Toney, and PBF he might have been overcome his decline in natural gifts.

    Quite clearly age, but I genuinley believe the gain and drop in 20 or so pounds only quickened his decline.

    He lost a lot of muscle mass going back down to LHW from HW and ultimately paid dearly for it.
