Correction, the "Terrible Business Decision" was Moving Back DOWN to '75, On Just 6 Weeks Notice, to Face Tarver...Roy Jones was Literally NEVER the Same After That... REED
That or REMAINED @ Heavyweight After Ruiz... PRIDE is a Motherfucker Though...Tarver Called Roy Out @ the Ruiz Post-Fight Press Conference, Stung His Pride and Got the Fight...1st Fight was CLOSER than Roy Jones Fights Are Supposed to BE, Which Stung His Pride, Which Led to the Fateful RE... PRIDE Before the Fall...Then Roy Fell... REED
Jones jr low balled holyfield and ended up taking the tarver fight. Holyfield wouldn't have touched him
Was a fan of roy, but i think he saw it as an easy fight. He never was confident of having success at hw
Hindsight is 20/20 but yeah he certainly should have gone the Holyfield route. Fuck Tarver, Roy could have told him if you want me move up.
Everyone knew Holyfield as a serious contender was over, but I still found how it went down surprising. Early rounds were all Evander. Seemed to make sense. Then it was a complete route going the other way until the corner stepped in. Even JT felt bad.
