    Because its over the past 10 years which obviously some people have forgot. Since September 11th 1999 RJJ who BTW is my favorite fighter has the following solid wins at 175 Eric Harding,Julio Gonzalez,Antonio Tarver and Clinton Woods while Tarver has Woods,Harding,Jones 2x,Glen Johnson,Montell Griffin and Reggie Johnson. This decade RJJs resume is not on Tarvers level. This is a prime Jones in this decade we are talking about. If you say last 15 years then its Jones in a ****ing landslide.

    Head to head and talent wise he wins, and he should always be ahead of Tarver.

    I know this anyone with a brain knows that. That said it doesnt matter as this thread is who has been the best in the last 10 years at these weights. Roy Jones resume from September 11th 1999 to September 11th 2009 is a fair bit behind Antonio Tarvers although that hurts me to say it but its true. Noboddy is understanding this thread though at Welterweight ive seen Trinidad and DLH as the top Welterweight which makes no sense.

    If you take RJJ off Tarver's resume it becomes ****. The only other good win he has is Glen Johnson.

    RJJs best Light Heavyweight wins this decade are the same best wins for Tarver basically with Woods and Harding difference is Tarver best Jones 2-1 and has Johnson therefore his resume at 175 for the past 10 years is better. Try denying that just because RJJ is better in his prime makes you look like an idiot. Roy Jones is my favorite fighter but im far from blind.

    And if you take off Tarver off RJJ's list it becomes **** as well based on what he listed.
