I do dare ask does this raise the public opinion of Roy Jones(cause of the extreme weight loss)? or does it hurt it because B-hop walked through Tarver like he was an amateur??
No, but it makes Roy greater then he gets credit for. I think after that we should respect Roy more. Look at it this way

Roy went up and actually FOUGHT at Heavyweight anc won the championship up there, he moved down and lost all muscle to fight the natural Light Heavyweight champion tarver. Was weakened and flat, and HE STILL WON THE FIGHT.

contrast that

Tarver "films a movie" as a Heavyweight, not even a real fight.

He moves down to fight the Middleweight Hopkins going up to Tarvers weight class. And he loses badly.

I don't think Roy gets the credit he deserves for winning that first fight

Kudos to Hopkins for shutting Tarver up. Didn't Tarver say he'd be the "laughing stock of boxing if he let the smaller man bully him." Well.... consider it a haha from me to you Antonio
