If the Roy Jones thought fought Griffin, had fought Tarver what would be the ...

Lightning reflexes and speed.
Not to mention his decent power.
That is what made RJJ famous, but technically he isn't so great. His natural abilities were so far superior to everyones that it took almost 50 fights to figure him out.
I am a RJJ fan, so I would like to say he would have beaten down Tarver, but being realistic I would have to say that Tarver had his number and exposed Roy weaknesses. Good to see that Roy is working with trainers now, rather than being self trained.

Jones is one of the best fighters ever when he came down in weight from Heavyweight he lost confidence in his body after the ko loss to Tarver It took him time to get it back i think he has got it back watch out Calzaghe!. But back to the subject the jones who fought Griiffin would have done the same to Tarver he would have taken him out the same.

the roy jones that fought griffin the second time was RJ and RJ was a beast in the ring and i think he would destroy tarver. tarver waited until roy came down from heavyweight and he had been studying roy for years so when they got in the ring he was able to match up to roys style

I didn't think Roy looked that bad in the second fight. He'd had enough time to recover from the weight drop. He had speed and accuracy, and I thought he was outboxing Tarver. And then he got caught. It happens.

Jones would win clear decision over Tarver.
