 Roy Jones Jr. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jones built an impressive record of 15-0 with 15 knockouts before stepping up in class, when he met former world Welterweight champion Jorge Vaca in a Pay Per View fight on January 10, 1992.
After one more knockout win, Jones went the distance for the first time, against former world champion Jorge Castro, who lost a 10-round decision to Jones in front of a USA Network national audience.
Three more knockouts in a row followed, after which Jones was given his first opportunity to fight for a world title: on May 22 of 1993, he beat future world champion Bernard Hopkins by a narrow but unanimous decision in Washington D.C., to capture the IBF's vacant world Middleweight title.

 BraggingRightsCorner.com - "The Final Inquisition of Roy Jones Jr. "... by Blaine Hislop
He was a kid with seemingly everything: A body from Praxiteles, remarkable reflexes, hand speed, seemingly obvious punching power, and superb coordination.
In the early years of his career it mattered not a whit that he fought almost no one of consequence (indeed, up until he confronted a still-green Bernard Hopkins, the most decorated foes he'd ever faced as a pro had been a severely faded Jorge Vaca and an equally shot Jorge Castro).
What really mattered in the early years was that all of us - or at least most of us - had been convinced that this was one of those guys who made otherwise solid pros look more ordinary than they really were by virtue of his remarkable skills.

Tarver has not been put to the test the the Light Heavyweight class and although he is the only one to date to give Roy his Legitimate loss to his career and also the only one to knockout Roy Jones Jr., he has not fought the same calibre of fighters that Jones has.
Jones has fought fighters such as James Toney, Virgil Hill, Vinny Pazienza, Bernard Hopkins, John Ruiz, Jorge Vaca, Merqui Sosa, Reggie Johnson, Eric Lucas, Mike McCallum and many more.
With all those accomplishments in the ring, many believe that Roy Jones will fight Tarver for the third time in a rubber match that would be highly anticipated.
