    Objectively speaking. If you are a fan or a hater of either boxer, put that aside for the moment and just think about the situation.

    Antonio Tarver just gave Roy Jones Jr the hardest fight of his career on route to losing a close decision. A lot of **** was talked in the build up to both fights and the rematch took place 6 months after.

    IMO, it is one of the most bad ass moments when they are brought into the ring and the ref asks "Any questions?" With Tarver responding "I got a question. You got any excuses tonight, Roy?" Then going out there and knocking Jones the **** out with the KNOCK OUT OF THE YEAR punch in the second round, cracking Jones' suspect chin for ever. A perfect counter left.

    So I ask you, is this the most bad ass moment in modern boxing? If not, what is? Lets hear some good suggestions! :happy:happy

    I'd also like to add that I know Jones was getting old and lost weight blah blah blah. That's irrelevant to this thread.

    For all the trash Tarver was speaking in the build up to the fights, he backed it up in style. No-one saw Tarver winning by a one punch knockout!

    Yep...I was ohhhh. I thought Jones was just going to get up and get the count but I knew it was over when he looked like he just finished a bottle of vodka by himself.

    That KO all alone should send him to the HOF.

    It was truly a moment for the ages. Epic KO which exposed Roy's abysmal Glass Jaw for the World to see.

    :deal Agreed. Few fighters can back up what they say and tho RJ is one of my favorites and already going downhill, Tarver's famous line "Got any excuses tonight, Roy?" and them "BLAM!!!", Goodnight! That sticks with you forever.

    It was a correctly placed punch but it really didn't have a lot power behind it. Just show how terrible jones' chin is.
