    Good lord Jones would get knocked out again. Why has Jones been fighting smaller guys or bums lately? He is finished he knows his chin can't take a good punch.

    RJJ could've possiby beaten Tarver in their 3rd fight. But then again, Tarver caught RJJ with a right hook in the 11th which hurt RJJ.

    I think Taver has faded enough and RJJ still has his hand speed intact to give Tarver a hell of a fight. It all comes down to which RJJ shows up. The one who wants to get things done or the one who showed a soft side against Tito.

    Tarver would've been a shoe in HOF if he had taken care of Hopkins like most expected. But Hopkins showed what he's about and so did Tarver. One is a master boxer while the other is limited somewhat. It is what it is.

    Jones fought Tito for the multi million dollar payday

    And i don't see these so called bums he's been fighting lately. Ajamu and Hanshaw were good tune up fights to get back in the mix until the Tito fight fell into his lap. Sounds like you've got a grudge against Jones

    Roid Jones has made most of his career on fighting sure fights, but Tarver knocked him out. Tarver would do it again.

    A less gunshy Roy could've beaten Tarver in the third fight so it's conceivable that he could beat Tarver in a 4th. But, seeing how low his workrate was in the Trinidad fight I can't see it. I think his stamina is too bad these days. Tarver ain't no volume puncher either but it wouldn't take much for him to outwork Roy

    It's possible, but in my mind, improbable.

    I think Tarver would beat him yet again, and it would probably look similar to their thrid contest.

    The shame of it is, Jones could have won if he had given himself a chance. Instead, he was clowning around and just trying to survive. That's hardly the display of a championship heart.

    Tarver would beat him again.
