Huh? His only other "loss" was a lame DQ against Montell Griffin (who deserved an Oscar). Do you mean in his amateur career?
Regardless, Tarver proved he can walk the walk. He took Roy's shots early on and then found an opening for the big left. And not to detract from his win, but fighters like Jones can fade pretty quickly. He's dominated for over ten years with his natural skill and speed but these attributes will eventually fail a fighter that is dependent upon them. Roy can no longer get away with moving backwards or holding his hands behind his back.
