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

I just rewatch Griffin 2 and Tarver 2. Like always, Jones throws lead left hook and drops his right or leaves his hand sloppy when he does it. He was doing against Griffin, and he did it against Tarver. Griffin is short and orthodox. He couldn't take advantage. It's a clear technical flaw in Jones game. Tarver is a southpaw with a great counter left. That spells disaster for a guy that drops his right when throwing a left hook, the same way that that pulling your head straight back to avoid punches will get you hurt against a guy with a great left hook. It was a chink in Jones armor and Tarver had the magic bullet.

Jones was looking good on his feet. His handspeed looked good. He won the first round. Clearly, Tarver or somebody in his team had found that flaw and Tarver was looking for it.

So, if Tarver came out like he did against Griffin, Tarver might have caught Roy over his sloppy right in the first round and put him on his butt then. Same result.
