    If Tarver had beaten Harding and fought Jones in September 2000, who wins?

    Jones would have beat him comfortably for mine. He was never the same after his heavyweight foray and big fluctuations in weight. I don't for one second buy that Tarver would always be extremely tough for him.

    Tarver looked better v Harding than Jones did, Jones seemed to have problems getting past Tarver`s jab, I feel it would be a close fight one way or the other.

    He won comfortably in 2003.
    He'd pitch a near shut out in 2000, Tarver only did well when he threw punches, Jones in 2000 would scare Tarver into a shell and would pick him part

    Given you absolutely hate Jones i'll take that as an easy win to Jones.

    2000 was Roy's last prime year. He had already started slipping a bit athletically between 01-04.

    He wins easily over Tarver in 2000.
